Our guests and ds (who came by after work) have left.

I made biscuits and we had those and clementine oranges while our tummies woke up. They are off to brunch with GM's brother and then home. Ds is off to bed.

As soon as I get dressed, I'm off to the guest suite to clean it up and then I'll run laundry.

Quiet morning here because dcleaning lady won't make it today. She texted me a little earlier after I had already done some clean up for her but that's okay. DD wanted us to try to get a pedicure together today but she waited too late to make the request and we can't get in this morning. I need to get to dmom's with her meals anyway, and then I have body work at 1:30 and then TN football game after that.

Poor dh - FL State really had a melt down yesterday!

Going to read the paper first, I got up late and hadn't done that. I'll plan to leave later so I can go directly from dmom's to body work.

Guest suite is cleaned up.

It is cute - it has a pull out couch, table with 4 chairs, rocking chair, tv with cable (better than here!), stereo system. The bathroom is tiny like dh's but functional. The kitchen is tiny too, but has apartment sized fridge and stove plus a microwave.

Ds was surprised that's what a bachelor apartment feels like. He thought it was a purpose built hotel room, not realizing it was the same on each floor. He's been wanting a tiny space so it was a good test for him. We may rent it for him in the future.

Good morning All and Happy New Year
Everyone has gone back home and our house is ours again. Dakota doesn't know what to do, she is looking for my sister.

Speaking of sister, it was very stressful getting her on the plane. Her forgetfulness is getting worse - but her kids don't see it as a problem. We arrived at the airport early and I couldn't get her to go thru TSA early enough for her to get to her gate on time. She just kept saying they would call her name and then she could go thru. Well that might be the way it is in a small airport in South Dakota but not here. When I finally got her moving (brother didn't help much there either), they were calling her flight. At least she made it - as I called her at home. I didn't even ask how she made the flight.

She also forgot her meds as home and only brought her vitamins. Why her kids didn't check them before she left, I don't know. Probably because she wouldn't let them. She gets very angry when anyone checks up on her. Anyway she is home now and I can relax.

I'm baking cookies for the people who moved in across the street. The house sure smells good. Of course, I have to save some for DH, too.

Oven just beeped. TTFN

d mt. It's so hard when our loved ones memory is not the same. A smaller airport might help with confusion of too many people around.

d everyone a very very good morning. I am starting late because I woke late. And it's okay :D I didn't go to bed until late.
I have dishes in the sink and on counter and things to put away from last nights dinner , a hair dye appointment, and the last Christmas tree to take down.
Have a really wonderful day. No timer for me today... It will be put away as I flit and float (well really drag because this body doesn't flit or float like it used to lol)

Good morning all! I'm just enjoying these slow lazy mornings. :) It will be hard when they have to stop next week.
Glad your sister got on the plane OK, MT. Does she have a dh to help her? It didn't sound like it, but I wasn't sure.
What a nice perk to have a guest suite on your floor, Kathryn!
You're up early, nancy.
Hope getting meals to mom goes well, Twins. Is the body work done with a trainer like a work out?
Hi Lynlee. Thinking of Australia lately, maybe b/c it was about this time of year we arrived. And it is technically time for dh's sabbatical again. WTG sprucing up the veranda and sliding door!
Thanks for starting us off, Dee.
Nice to see you, blessed! Your hair will look marvelous!

I went through the entire bag of last year's extra handouts for the moms group. I pulled out 1 copy of each handout I was missing in my binder (I was mainly missing a few of the song sheets) and then recycled the rest. I put the missing handouts in a plastic sleeve and then put them in the correct place (in chronological order) in last year's binder. It felt good to get that done.

Done:
- up
- bfast
- water for g. pigs
- posted January goals
- printed out labels for moms group binders
- oversaw dd16's ordering music for upcoming solo/ensemble festival. The music is for her accompanist, which is my tutee R who is a gifted pianist in a graduate music program here, even though she has a grad degree in music from her native country, Korea.

ToDos - not all of which I will get to today:
- a.m. routine
- declutter downstairs bookshelves with dh
- put together this year's moms group binder
- groc. store
- Target
- put bedding on the twin bed in dd19's room.
- deal with bedding still in dryer
- laundry, specifics tbd
- call dentist - how long will appt. be on Monday? I'm having some fillings replaced. bleh.
- email R re: time for tutoring her on Monday
- call for eye appt. for dd16
- start on New Year letter with dd19 and dd16 available to help
- start on New Year photo card with dd19 and dd16 available to help
- exercise
- dinner: out, somewhat early since dd19 has to be somewhere at 7 and dh has a meeting at 7:30
- veg with ds and dd16 this evening. :)

I'm off to work on the a.m. routine now.
