It is rainy and raw. Ew. Looks like running will have to wait...if it happens at all. Sigh. Its a whole bunch of yuck out. I am glad we got up to ski last night as they closed the mountain today, and something tells me it will be closed tomorrow too...Its not cold enough for them to make snow plus the rain...makes for a big pile of yuck.
So, maybe I will actually get some knitting done today! While watching some sort of marathon on Netflix. Or not. Heh. There are things I *should* do but...yeah, no. I don't feel like it :)
We got our Xmas tree last night. Usually we get it from the Lyons Club as they donate the money to something good but when we went...NOTHING! They were sold out! So, we ended up going somewhere else and got a 10 foot tree. :) Heh. AND we saw a baby moose!!! It was causing traffic *issues* too, and a cop showed up. Yep, that's excitement in my town. I kept waiting for the mom to come...but no sign of her. I thought that was odd and wondered if something happened to the mom. :( Poor baby moose was frozen to her spot and did not move...it was cool, but also sad. Lots of hunters out yesterday...
The tree is sitting in a bucket in the living room as we speak. It is very tall. Heh.
I am JUST about done with the xmas shopping. I finished Lilly yesterday, and all I need to do is get the Santa Mouse gifts. Santa Mouse was something my mom started and I still do it to honor her. Even though she can't be with us I am keeping up that tradition because SOMEDAY maybe she will be able to be here...sigh. I also am getting Hubby an new cell phone which he does not know about. We are doing it all stealth-like this week and it will be an early gift. :) Oh, and I need to get a Nana gift for Hubby and Max as our Nana Xmas party is next Sunday. Oh, fine. So I'm not done yet. Sheesh.
This week...cookies. Lots of them. And suet cakes for the birds. And xmas crayons. Maybe I will get the floor painted in the playroom/school room too...gah. I hope so...Oh snap...and xmas cards need to be sent out. Eeeep. :)
I am putting my *schooling*, spiritual endeavors, et al on hold until January. It would be foolish of me to even try to get anything done this month beyond what has to be done this month. No need to make it more stressful than necessary, right? Right. :)
OK, more peppermint coffee, and knitting. Sweet.
