We had a good Christmas, if tiring. It's getting increasingly obvious that Tim's dad can't live alone in his house for much longer. That transition is going to be really hard for everyone.
And I'm kicking myself for agreeing to work today. I figured since I'm so new, I should be available for whatever work they might have, so I got a pile of articles dumped on me at the end of the day Monday. They were closed Christmas Eve and yesterday, but I need to get them back by COB today. So I'm clutching my coffee and getting ready to tear into them. (And being vaguely resentful that Tim has today and tomorrow off.)
Happy birthday Jesse, Theo, and Rayne!
Sorry about the work day, Steph. I need to work today too, only not for pay. I'm hiring a hauler today. blech.
Happy birthday you guys!
So in keeping with my nye tradition, my SIL has been diagnosed with a highly contagious bacterial infection ( mycoplasma pneumonia.) So there's a good chance we'll all get it.
And yes, we're still moving 'em.
So, Noah asked for a tablet for Christmas. Two christmas's ago, my mom bought me a nook color. Last year I gave her one. I re-purposed mine for Noah (and he is THRILLED) and then my mom offered to send me hers for Grace. So we took her up on the offer.
Yesterday, we were talking about the nooks and my mom said, "I'm not even sure why I got one. I barely used it."
I reminded her I got it for her and I think she felt abashed. Honestly, it's fine. IF you aren't going to use it, better for the kids, who will use it, to get them.
Oh no, poor SIL. Hope you all remain as well as you can.
Oy sarameg!
Good luck with that Burrell.
So, after an hour at work I have done everything that really needed doing today...I can come up with stuff to do for the next seven hours, I hope...
Happy birthday, Theo, Jesse, and Rayne!!! (One exclamation point each.)
SIL got a steroid shot, the right antibiotics and oral steroids. So if any of us do start to come down with something, straight to a clinic with haste and warning.
Forewarned is forearmed.
The great thing about coming to work today is that I could bring in the plate of cookies my neighbor gave me (last year the ants got it).
