Good Morning Kids! I completed some of my Christmas cards, but there are still plenty to do, so you know what I'll be working on again today.

A day working from home and zoo lights was just what I needed. It was nice to have a calm, quiet day of working followed by a little fun. We got up to the zoo before it got totally crazy and spent a couple of hours looking at the lights. DGD was good but would have been happier if she could have done the whole thing at her pace. In other words walk along slowly and touch/inspect all the low lights. By the end though she was ready to sit in the stroller. The kids took me out to dinner at Shari's afterwards. Lots to do this weekend. I absolutely have to get DGS's Christmas sock done. There is still shopping that needs to be done, leaves to be raked, and I haven't even started on cards.

Hello peeps! Just got back from a memorial service for a friend of DH's. The service was at an outdoor tiki bar. Interesting. Working freelance at the moment; I have my last road race of the year tomorrow morning.

DGS's Christmas stocking is done. It is a relief to have that off my plate. The parade was pretty good, unfortunately there were too many politicians, but there were several bands so it all balanced out. By the time we had sat outside for over 3 hours we were pretty chilled even though it was only about 40 degrees. They do a 5k fun run before the race along the parade route so you have to get there extra early. Tomorrow is breakfast with the fireman.

Nice work, Sharon! Good Morning Kids! I began to feel a bit queasy as I was falling asleep last night, and I feel the same this morning. Just off enough, that I'm staying home from church this morning. There IS some major virus going around, and I'm hoping I didn't pick it up somewhere.

busymom feel better. A norovirus is going around out here. They even shut down a couple of school districts for a couple of days to sanitize all of the schools and break the cycle. That and the fact that there were so many teachers and students out sick that the schools couldn't really operate.

A decent race for me; good tuneup for the one I have in two weeks on the other coast. Perfect running weather for a 7 a.m. start, in the 50s. Got home and plugged in the battery for the mower (we got enough ran for the front lawn to need a once-over). Spread a bag of rocks and two of mulch. Had a quick breakfast and I am now snacking on my favorite mix of dark chocolate, almonds and dried cherries. Dinner is meatloaf, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.

Good Morning Kids! I got some extra rest yesterday, and am feeling better today. I might even go after the leftovers from the brunch NancysSummerSip served yesterday. I've still got a huge pile of Christmas cards, so I'd better get back to working on them.

Looks like I may need to be looking up Noah, we are supposed to get between 5-7" of rain from Thursday to Sunday. Glad we did zoo lights last weekend and that I got the leaves off the lawn.

Need to get moving for the day. There appears to be an accident on my route to work. Oh well. Only working a half day. If I am a bit late I will make up the time by leaving a bit later.
Have a terrific Tuesday.

Good Morning Kids! We've got thunderstorms headed this way, mid to late afternoon into the evening.
I'm working on Christmas cards, so it won't affect my day.

Morning all.
Need to get moving. According to google maps my drive is at least 10 minutes longer than usual. Due to that white stuff that falls from the sky.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone.

Another morning of freezing fog along with a dense fog advisory. This should be the last fog filled morning this week, starting this afternoon we change over to heavy rain and breezy. I might finally have an answer to my extreme tiredness, my thyroid is out of whack. I have taken a low dose of thyroid medication for over 30 years. Every 7 - 10 years it gets a little tweaking but mostly just hums along fine without issues. This past August the doctor forgot to request the Thyroid check when I had all my blood work done for my physical. She requested it this time and it is way out of whack. Hopefully we can get the prescription changed and I can start feeling like a human being again.

Good Morning Kids! We did get that heavy rain we were promised, but fortunately the tornado watch (surprise!) amounted to nothing.
Got a lot of Christmas cards completed yesterday, and DH actually wrote some to his side of the family. But, there are still more to get done, plus, I'm waiting for the new grocery ads that should be coming out today for deals on Christmas food.

Good Morning Kids! Temps have dropped by quite a bit since yesterday. The majority of my Christmas cards list is done, & off in the mail. And today, I'm going out for lunch with a friend.

Good morning everyone. 19* this morning. Put the charger on the battery in the spare car. 2006 Toyota RAV4. It was down to 20% charge. Discharged batteries will freeze at 20*F.

What a change a day makes. Yesterday morning it was 28* when I left for work, this morning 44*. The rain has started and has been heavy at times but I guess the worst of the storm is to come in overnight and tomorrow. It is good and breezy out there and has blown all the fog away. We have gone from dense fog/air stagnation advisories to flood advisories. It won't be major flooding but some of the smaller rivers etc are expected to flood.

Well, my friend had to cancel on lunch. Apparently, caught that virus that's been going around. So, I did some errands instead, and mailed off a couple more Christmas cards.
