Detailing the details...

As I mentioned in previous posts, life around here is a little busy.. it's the week before Christmas and unlike me I'm not done shopping and I still have cookies to bake, and things to finish.. along with the usual day to day living and work and tending to the laziest white man in America.


Let's start with Monday...

 Up early, met Car Pool Buddy, drive to work, work a full day,

home, let the dog out, unload a basket of clean clothes, refill it with dirty clothes

start the laundry,  walk the dog,

write up the last of the Christmas cards, stamp them,

load the dog into the truck,

zip to the post office and mail the cards and a letter,

go back to the lodge, meet up with big cookie order guy,

he gets his stuff, close up the lodge,

go home, unload the dishwasher, make dinner

wash dishes, think about tossing a cookie batter together, forget that idea

Feed Bubba, putz on the computer for 30 minutes, change laundry loads,

let the dog, out, put my daily dose of vitamins in their container along with some breakfast for Tuesday,   do my nightly routine, read one page of my book, fall asleep dead the world until...

4:35 AM this morning... got moving at 4:45 AM

Up, moving showered, dog out/ in fed, I had time post hair and make up routine to fold the two loads of laundry I did last night - plus they wouldn't look like we slept in them and since I had 10 minutes...

So, two folded loads of laundry, another in the dryer, (undies they can wrinkle)

Gave the dog her morning meds and love, tossed what I needed in my bag and headed out to the lodge.

Had to scrape my windshield... not happy there.

Got to the lodge, loaded up the cookie orders for the work people, tossed that in the back of the truck

Headed out to meet Car Pool Buddy (CPB) -- waited for him -- wishing for caffeinated beverage,

Drove to work, listened as CPB detailed his equally busy night, thinking of a new house,

Got to work, unloaded the work bag, headed back out to the car to get cookie orders

rebooted my computer... finally got logged on...

I made a list of people I still need Christmas presents for, found out the mall isn't open late tonight,

Made plans for my dinner out, with a swing by the bank for the Ladies' group deposit,

a trip to the grocery story for Bob's drugs, and a spice for a cookie

home, walk the dog, and then head out to dinner...

Stay tuned for more updates because if I don't have some kind of outlet for all of this... Bubba will be walking funny at Christmas because I will have beaten him... then he'll have an excuse for sitting on his backside.

He did manage to order a niece's gift Sunday night.. after I handed him the coupon, showed him the code to use and handed him my store credit card.

thanks honey!  I'd never get this done without your assistance!

Off to make another list... it helps - don't judge.
