I managed another mostly stay at home day. I did go to the Old School Christmas festivities twice today. I had lunch there and then came back home. Went back to listen to Annie Wilson sing Christmas carols.
Other than that I stayed home all day. I took care of a few things off my to-do list. I still have a long list but made a bit of progress.
Discovered I have a serious water leak in my yard. I am on the list to get it fixed next week. I have lots of standing water in my front yard and the meter hole is full of water. Not sure if it is on my side or the city side. Thinking mine as the water bill was over three times what it should have been. Trusting things will hold together until they can get it fixed and we won’t have to turn the water off until then.
What is it with water and me? I seem to have had more than my share of water issues.
I stooped by the 4H bake sale on the way home after listening to Annie. I brought home a Bundt cake. I am a sucker for 4H kids. I was in 4H for years when I was in school and enjoyed it. I learned so much and do my best to support the kids. It was cold for them to be standing outside selling their baked goods but they were all in great moods and having fun.
I didn’t brave the Christmas parade and evening festivities. Too cold for me. It was all I could do to take Roxy for a walk at dusk. Kathy took Sophia so I only had to walk 1/2 mile. It took me a bit to thaw out after I got back home.
No plans for tomorrow except to continue to work on my to-do list. There are a couple of projects for me to do in the house. It might get done tomorrow – we shall see.
I made an eye doctor appointment in KC for Tuesday. Luckily Nicole is free to go to lunch when I get done with my appointment. I will probably stop at Costco on my way home. Not sure I need much but it is always fun to stop and see what they have. I hope to miss the Christmas crowd going this early in December.
Tagen needs a washer and dryer at his new house and Best Buy has a set on their Black Friday sale. I’ll have to see if he can go pick them up as their delivery is not available until January. Not sure why their delivery is so backed up.
We didn’t get snow like they did north of here. It smelled like snow and felt like snow. It is to warm up a bit next week but only to the lower and mid 40’s. Winter has arrived.
I’ve been binge watching Christmas movies this afternoon. It has been years since I have done this. Trying to get in the Christmas spirit this year. I never did find it last year.
It is nice to take a couple days and slow things down. I have been going too fast for the last month working on the rental house. I do much better going at a turtle pace. I don’t multitask like I used to and like to take lots of quiet time between tasks.
Grateful for this quiet time at home, grateful progress is being made on my to-do list, and grateful for repair people that can fix water leaks.
