Title: oh I need to get busy
Post by: tjshorty on December 11, 2019, 04:38:42 pm
I have been sick.  Just tired mostly.  The house is a mess.  I haven't done anything to speech of for Christmas.  Decorations or shopping.  I just want to sleep.  It seems that every thing for any holiday is last minute.  How are your Christmas plans coming along?

Sorry you haven't been feel well and hope you feel better to try and get some holiday tasks finished.  I did not up all the decorations this year either as I am just not in the mood but shopping is all done and wrapped.

I don't celebrate so I don't have to worry about all that.  It's just another day.

Decorations are up.  Shopping is done.  Presents are wrapped.  Gathering supplies for Christmas dinner and goodies.  I'm just about all set for the Big Day.

Hope you feel better soon. We have done little around here. We have had a few passings around this time of year so it is rather depressing for us. Hopefully we can perk up soon.

I'm progressing.  I have a list and my goal is to cross off at least one thing each day.  I need to focus on the real reason we celebrate CHristmas and not the shopping, wrapping, baking, etc.

I just started shopping yesterday.  Don't have the tree up yet.

I'm actually a little more ahead of the game, for a change. I've got all of my presents bought (thanks, Amazon). I don't do Christmas card (except to my grandmother). i don't have to cook for Christmas, thankfully, since we go up to my dad's cabin in the mountains and eat. So I guess all I'm really having to do at this point is wait for the festivities to begin (and keep the house semi-clean, LOL! )  :peace:

I have my holiday tree up. It is a real doosey! It's so cute and simple. But, I might like a real, small, mini one, if anyone out there is thinking of me. Or will I get in trouble if I get even a small one? If I will, I will pass, but I might like something else sort of similar. Nothing that costs too much. Not real sure what is out there!

The house is decorated and feels so festive.  I have been baking the last couple of days, so that is getting done.  I am having dinner here and Christmas Eve at my sisters house.  This may turn into the year of the gift cards, I just cannot seem to get in the mood to shop.  And it gets worse and more crowded each day.

Mine are gong well, but it sounds like you may need to not get involved as much this year.  Do you have children that will be disappointed?  If so, put them to work to decorate for you.  It may not be the prettiest, but done with love.  Just lay back and listen to the Christian Contemporary Christmas music this year and relax.  It is a presense of mind that is most important anway  :present: :angel11: :star: :thumbsup:

I thought that I would be coasting for the rest of the year but I had a really nasty cold this weekend that put me way behind. I tried working out harder than normal and seemed to have weakened my immune system. I started hitting it harder to catch up yesterday but ended up coughing so hard, last night, that I blacked out. Guess I just need to take it as it comes. I think I have about ten posts left here. I have my day job under control and I have just gotten to where I need to be on my second job. I have a half day tomorrow and Thursday which will allow me to finish my commitment for job two and get a lot of job three done. I still need to put up exterior Christmas decorations which is more important this year given some clouds on the horizon.

Seems I'm just on auto-pilot & just going through the motions, making sure I get a couple things accomplished daily... all means to a festive ending, hopefully.   I'm off for two weeks starting this Friday, so hopefully the holiday season feelings will kick in, or else I'll just have to continue faking the holiday spirit.

I purchased a few ornaments online from Pier 1 Imports today -- they are 1/2 off & then today there is an additional 10% off if you order online & pick up in store  -- so I got the ornaments for like $3.00 each.  Yay! :)

I am not sick currently but I have been feeling under the weather lately with sinus issues and rainy weather. No flu here or anything, but I have been so busy with work and holiday tasks and shopping that it's crazy! Hardly any time to send out Christmas cards or extra gifts this year. Maybe I'll be able to get in a little bit of baking though. Our family will finish decorating our Christmas tree tomorrow. All decorations have been put out. All holiday shopping is complete, and everything just needs to be wrapped now.

I'm getting there but not quite finished yet.  Need a few things for Christmas dinner still.
