I had a foster meeting today for my ex-foster kid. Then I went to the post office to get my mail and drop off a package. My final gift arrived and wrapped it and boxed it up to send it out. I was so happy to have all my packages gone. I need to rethink this next year. Definitely lighter gifts!
I contacted Amazon to return the headset I bought and didn't work with my phone system. Amazon won't take it back but refunded my money.
Until tomorrow...
I didn't feel that well in the afternoon again.
Earlier in the day I made Gingerbread Blondies with White Chocolate Chunks. They are really good. I will share a photo soon.
I decorated the house more and decorated the tree. I had a light situation. I tested the string of lights before I put them on the tree. It takes two strings of lights for the tree. I put the two strings on the tree. I plug it in and the top string doesn't light up. ERGH! I take the top string off and test another string of lights. It lights up. I restring the tree. I plug it in and, guess what? It doesn't light. The top of the tree is cursed! I gave up.
Later in the day I had to rig the angel on the tree. It is the angel from my childhood. I took a chopstick and attached it to the top of the tree so the angel can stay. Then suddenly the lights flash on. Now the lights work. I didn't want to move anything because the lights work.
Until tomorrow...
I spent the day decorating the house more and resting on the couch watching Christmas Movies. I did not feel very well in the afternoon.
I did laundry and picked up. I cleared out the area around my workout area in the garage.
Until tomorrow...
It is Friday and a busy day for me. Early morning doctor virtual appointment. Then I had to take my car to get smog checked so I can register it for another year. I showed up on time but they were running late. I told the guy that I saw his advertisement on line and I got 20% off. I really didn't but I remembered from last year that he had one. Hey, I go to him every year. My car passed!
Then I had to rush home for a food delivery. My handyman cancelled because he was ill.
My client was supposed to meet with me at 1 pm but postponed until 2:45. It was supposed to be a 15 min meeting and it turned into an hour and a half meeting. On a day that I was not working. I was a little annoyed and tired when it was all done.
I started decorating the house. I set up the Christmas tree. It is a silver retro tree.
Until tomorrow...
I had my big dental appointment today. The dentist filled four areas on the side of my teeth where the gums receded and the nerves were exposed. The dentist said it was because of my grinding and tooth brushing. I need to use my electric toothbrush more. It is great seeing my teeth all white instead of my exposed ugly nerves.
I am going back in January to talk about Invisiline. My grinding has screwed up my teeth but mostly my bottom teeth. She said the Invisiline can fix it. I am going to be lots of fun to sleep with. A mouth guard on the top teeth and a retainer on the bottom teeth. This will be worse than when I was a teenager with braces and rubber bands. :-)
The landscaper was here most of the day. He and his assistant worked very hard moving dirt and lifting up pavers (slate). Almost all of the pavers that are being moved are lifted up now. The big mound of dirt is spread out. More work is being done in the next two days.
This afternoon when I was putting the four packages in the car to take to the post office, I took Lucky with me to give her a car ride. All of a sudden she started limping. Her front paw seemed sore so I took her back in the house to take a nap. She seems better now. I hypothesize that she stepped on something sharp that didn't leave a mark.
I only have one package left to mail. I am waiting for the gift to arrive. It is very annoying that the gift has not arrived yet.
Until tomorrow...
I managed to get some more decorating done today. The most important thing I got done was I figured out how to have my angel stay up on top of my tree and while doing that, I accidentally fixed the top string of lights. The lights either have a short in the wire or a bulb is loose but when I affixed a chopstick to the top of the tree in order to have something to put the angel on, I tweaked the cord and the lights popped on. I’m not going to touch anything.
I finished wrapping the gifts that arrived. I am waiting on three gifts. Once one more gets here tomorrow, I am mailing out three boxes. I have one more box and a small package to go.
I went to physical therapy to figure out my feet. At first I wasn’t sure I was going to like the guy. He came highly recommended but he was so serious. By the end he loosened up. I have a plan of attack that includes riding my stationary bike, rollers, towels and heat. He isn’t quite sure what is wrong but says we will figure it out.
Until tomorrow…
I am trying to feel better. You know that feeling when you are trying really hard to feel better but you just can’t get there. That is me today.
It is still so cold here. It is so unusual to wear a turtleneck here but here I am wearing a turtleneck.
More Christmas gifts arrived for me to wrap and box up. The gifts I wrapped and boxed over the weekend were picked up and are on their merry way to their récipients. Now I remember why I started buying gifts online. It is harder to buy gifts, get them delivered to my home, wrap them, and then box them up and ship them out.
Until tomorrow…
I am not feeling better today. In fact I took another COVID test today. I didn’t think I had it but I wanted to make sure. It was negative. I am pretty sure it is just a flare of some sort. I am tired, sore, in pain and achy. I pretty much laid on the couch all day.
I finished packing up three boxes to ship and took for a walk. I took the lights off the top of the Christmas tree and put another strand on the tree and (yes,I did test them) they didn’t work once I got them on the tree. I’ll fix them tomorrow.
I just got lots of rest on a rainy day.
Until tomorrow…
