Well, I didn't get to go shopping, a last minute job came up! Couldn't say no, but I should have! I'll grocery shop tomorrow! I'll have some days off next month to go do something fun or relaxing. Shopping before Christmas probably wouldn't have been fun anyway!!

A rainy day is perfect for inside work. Found a fireplace insert on sale that will fit the Hobbit Hole nicely. Ordered same.

Limited-time deal: Giantex 28.5" Electric Fireplace Insert, Wall Recessed/Mounted, Freestanding Fireplace with Remote Control, 3 Color Adjustable Flames, 2 Modes Heat, 8 H Timer, 5 Brightness Settings, 750/1500W Heater https://a.co/d/di1uYh9

It has some silly color options we will never use but The Princess approved.

Did some carpentry and will find some replacement blades for my oscillating tool.

survived doctor and shopping...
Doctor says I have archillis tendonitis and something called haglunds deformity, all from walking too much and wearing the wrong shoes and I should also lose some weight. I still have to go get a x ray at some point and he showed me some foot brace/sleave that might help.
So we'll see
I need to start swimming again to lose weight I think. He mentioned you lose weight fast if you actually do aerobic type of exercise, not just walking doing physical labor. No duh....I used to do step aerobics and run, but can no longer do that. He also suggested some phyical therapy which I might try. Overall decent visit, AND the nurse got my blood out on the first try! He also didn't try to make me get any vaccine or sell me any more pills so maybe I was wrong about him ( I didn't like him last time I went).

Cooking now, husband put sheep in the barn since it is pouring again, or was a few minutes ago

Just got in from clearing the road. Made a pass up to the pump house too. It's pretty unusual for it to be above freezing in December, but it's nice to see the sun out, and even nicer to be able to work without gloves, snow boots or a heavy coat on. We're going down south tomorrow and pick up some feed and a load of groceries. There's a store down there that has a Henry's boy size .22 lever action on sale. If they still have one in stock I might pick it up for the grandson.

Watched 4 fighter jets fly over going from Kessler Air Force base in Biloxi, MS flying to Houston.
Hmmm.

Amazon drivers around here all use their personal vehicles. There's a depot of some sort in town, amazon quietly bought up an empty grocery store, blacked out all the windows, and put barriers up so no one cut through the parking lot anymore. Then a year later one small, dark sign in the parking lot has a series of numbers and "Amazon". All very mysterious, but I think that's where the local drivers go pick up packages for delivery. Usually it's someone in a smaller car, wearing an amazon vest, so the guy in the big truck really took me by surprise.

Was busy with chores and work all day, but now I don't feel like I really accomplished anything. Though I did get the external keypad for the new garage door opener set up and mounted on the door frame. Now if a friend is going to stop by and walk the dog for me, I can just give them the code instead of hiding a key somewhere. Also washed the sheets and put the quilt and blanket out on the line to air. The wind changed direction a lot and we had a few tiny snow showers. Told my mom the bedding smells like wood smoke and snow now, and she said tonight I'll dream that I'm in the Hundred Acre Wood. I like that idea! I could really use a night of good dreams and solid sleep.

A pot of honey may help.

Took my brother to return his sleep study equipment. He had to fill out more paperwork. Went to Samsclub to grab some stuff. Got some pants on clearance for friend since he's always getting holes in his. These are supposed to be tear resistant. We'll see if they last. He was very happy and said they fit perfectly.

Cooked for Mom, cleaned the hallway and just broke up a cat fight. Mewlatto did his usual trolling and slapped Gravy Jones. Gravy wasn't having it though and proceeded to kick the stuffing out of Mew. Biscuits saw a fight happening and decided to jump into the fray biting both Mew and Gravy. Gravy got mad and turned on Biscuits (who normally gets along with him) and Mew escaped while they went after each other. Then Snugglebum jumped in and started beating both of them up. Biscuits ran away and that left Snugglebum and Gravy fighting. I got them apart but Gravy jumped back on. Brother came in and pulled Gravy away but Snugglebum was still trying to go after him and got mad at me for grabbing him to pull him back, but he didn't bite or scratch. Both were huffing and puffing afterward. Snugglebum is currently sitting on my plastic drawer set and Gravy just crawled into my lap. His right ear took a beating.

Well this morning I ended up making 8 stops . Way too peopled out. The elusive gumdrops were the prey. Finally found some! Making gingerbread houses Sunday.
Got the tree put up so that’s done. Also got the bedding changed and the Christmas quilt put on the bed.
Now to clean up the house before folks show up on Christmas.
