I remind myself of this daily.
Where I've been: I worked Monday thru Friday and am happy with what I was able to get done to prepare for being off 10 days between Christmas and NY. We went to Target and the grocery store for a few things yesterday and had a nice lunch at Drakes in O'Fallon. I can't remember going anywhere else.
Where I'm going: This is the last work week of the year. Thursday we're doing lunch together to celebrate. I also have a dentist appointment this week. Other than that, I don't plan on going anywhere else if I can help it.
What I'm watching: I watched a couple of cute Christmas movies this week. Also a few Christmas baking shows.
What I'm reading: I did read a bit of Miss Cecily's Recipes for Exceptional Ladies yesterday while riding to O'Fallon. It's taking me forever. Not that it isn't a good book, I've just been doing other things instead of picking it up and reading.
What I'm listening to: Nothing in particular.
What I'm eating:
Bacon, veggie and cheese omelet with toast and home fries
Cheeseburger and oven fries
Indian spiced meatballs, rice and naan
Fried chicken, mac and cheese and a salad
Beef and noodles, bread (This was the best meal. It was so tender and flavorful)
Grits and egg for the big guy. I was still full from lunch.
Who needs a good slap: On hold but will resume after NY
What I'm planning: Everything for the near future is pretty well planned out so not much to think about this week.
What's making me smile: This gorgeous gift from a coworker This was at work when it was delivered. I need to take a picture with the candle in it here at home. So pretty.
I too have a dentist appointment. I feel I'm going to work more than originally planned between Christmas and NY. People are not getting what I need them to get done and I'll be reviewing because they'll aim to finish before their vacations. I'm quite frustrated that two people haven't e en bothered to return an email to give me any sort of update. Still, I plan to enjoy what I can of the holidays.
ReplyDeleteThat would be frustrating. Now that many departments in our hospital have gone to contracted companies, I totally understand the lack of response. I hope it works out where you can enjoy the whole week away from work.
DeleteI'm hanging in there. I have no idea from day to day who's coming over to work on the place, or what is to be done. Hopefully this will be a peaceful week coming up for you.
ReplyDeleteRenovations are no fun that is for sure.
DeleteI hope the week is good for you regardless of the inconvenience. Hugs those two precious girls for me.
The gift is gorgeous. I’ve never seen a lantern that pretty. Enjoy your Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it gorgeous? Merry Christmas to you and your family Bijoux.
DeleteHave a wonderful vacation from work!
ReplyDeleteThank you. That is the plan. Merry Christmas!!
DeleteMy dentist appointment is scheduled for 2 days after Christmas. I'm just hoping we don't get a ton of snow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift that is.
Mine is Thursday. I always dread the dentist. It is lovely. She has a knack for picking out beautiful gifts.
DeleteNice, relax and enjoy the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on it. I hope you do as well!!
