I feel like I had an ok day, productivity wise. I finally took out the last few things I wanted to sit out for Christmas from the totes that have been sitting in the living room for at least 5-6 days now. I had the husband take them all back downstairs again. It’s not like it’s a far distance but the thought of dragging out decor and things up and down makes me just not want to decorate. I almost just didn’t but there’s a lot of things I do look forward to see every year.
So I’m glad I did it. I still have yet to put up the outdoor tree I have. I just don’t want to deal with it blowing over 350 times this year like it did last year.
We were sitting outside of my son’s PT appointment waiting for him to be done and school called to say tomorrow is canceled. We are supposed to get snow over night. We shall see. I dunno. We were suppose to go to the grocery store tomorrow too but if it’s too nasty outside we will just have to do it Saturday.
I don’t think I’ve seen snow in December in quite awhile. Growing up we’d have it often. Now it gets increasingly rare. Snow in end of January or early Feb are more often the case.
I did 4 loads of my son’s laundry. Took almost all day. I’m not quite sure how someone can go through that much laundry in a week. When I do two loads for myself and my husband for a week. One light and one dark.
But whatever.
I’ve been slacking on reading. I keep buying books but not reading them. I wrapped at least 6 or so gifts today which is good. I might place one more online order for a few things but other then that just waiting on stuff to arrive and then get it wrapped up.
I mailed out the two boxes two days ago to family. They both arrived today to their homes. I have to other cards I need to send to the other nephews with cash and that’ll be done.
So all in all it’s been an ok day.
I almost wish for a full on snow day tomorrow to just lay around in warm clothes and read all day. Or something else like that. I’m trying to pre-plan what all I can do now that’ll make leading up to Christmas easier.
Still have some holidays movies I’d like to watch (maybe tomorrow) and some holiday baking I’d like to do too.
I have to plan what needs to be bought for Christmas Day meal wise. We always do make our own pizza’s. We use to do leftovers from Christmas Eve which was ham and such or fancy steaks but last year I didn’t want to deal with another meal to plan so we just ordered Chinese food on Christmas Eve and it was fun. I might suggest doing that again.
But all in all It was an ok day. I didn’t feel like I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown so that’s good. I’ll take a normal day if I can get it.
I haven’t made as great progress with my copy pasting over old entries from OpenDiary like I would have wanted to but it is what it is. It’s insane seeing me write about the same kinda crap I still am dealing with. It sometimes feels like I’ve had no forward movement in my life. Or things that I didn’t realize are an issue have always been an issue. Or at least for 20 years.
