Christmas Countdown - 2019

[Christmas Knight]

Sad. Yesterday at the mall, workers were preparing to remove the very last vestige of Christmas 2018.
All other decorations are now down until next season, which for Crabtree just means a little over 9 months!

Booooooo!!

Good morning and Happy Milestone Day! I've already scrubbed the floor and swept this morning. It was partly due to the dogs tracking some mud in to the house, but it was on the agenda anyway. DH smoked some ribs on the grill for dinner and threw in the crockpot to finish cooking, since he will be working tonight, to make things easier for dinner for me.

Not much planned for today. I have a follow-up appointment with my NP today, regarding all that has been going on. I pray she tells me I can go back to work here in a few weeks. I guess even if she does, it sounds more like it is the dermatologist that has the biggest say in all of this anymore, since he thinks it may still all be drug related and thinks my meds may need changed again and doesn't want to cause another seizure.

Anyway, just doing some odds and ends this am and probably just going to relax this evening since DH works. I hope you all have a great day - I'll check back in later!

I hope the healing process is working for you. I'm keeping you in prayer.

Lol! I was joking with them that they needed to hire an “Emma” and make it a stipulation that she cooks for the neighbor too.

The daughters just want to throw him in a nursing home though and the son thinks they should put him back in the rehab place for a couple more weeks.

Everybody should have an Emma!! ♥ And Emma's do cook for the neighbors....and family members! I hope they get figured out what is best for him!!!!

HAPPY PINES DAY - Middle of the week - I'm trying to get caught up, but I have a nasty migraine again so I'll have to take a break from reading.
I have to do a quick grocery run on Friday - doubt we'll get out on the weekend. Temps will be freezing so bad, my freckles will try and jump off my face to find shelter. My husband said, for sure he doesn't want me out on Sunday when the temps dip down to -40.
Keep a merry thought in your head

Hope you feel better today!!!
-40??? We have -11 predicted for Sunday night....Brrrrrrr! Stay cozy!

Good evening,

Took a few days off, accidentally, darn NHL 19 on XBox, from coming here. Got busy and by the time I remembered it was too late and time for bed.
I shut off my outside lights on Sunday night for the final time for the Christmas 2018 season. (They may come on for an encore if we get that snow on Sunday, I want to see my lights in the snow) My trees are still up, I should have started taking them down today, but they make me happy and there's no going back once they come down.
Work beckons in the morning, just wanted to make sure to visit and get caught up tonight.
Good night, everyone

My tree's decs are still up inside also. And I agree - they make me happy! We have my brothers tree lit up in the back yard too - I just love it!

Good morning ~
I’ve been up for awhile, my oldest started texting me around 4:30am. She knows I’m usually up early anyway. She’s coming down with something and couldn’t sleep. Thankfully she has off today so she needs to get to the doctor as soon as possible to see what’s going on. She’s scheduled to work tomorrow and Saturday so I’m hoping it’s nothing serious. If it is I told her she will have to get a note from the doctor and stay home. She feels bad because she just got back from her honeymoon. I don’t have too much going on today. I want to make my daughter a pot of chicken soup and bring it over to the apartment, I just need to pick up a couple of things at the supermarket. Other than that I will be catching up with some things around the house. We were out of the house yesterday for quite some time for my youngest daughters graduation ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony but very long lol. I still can’t believe my baby is a college graduate. I feel old! Well thats about it for me. Oh and I’m going to make shrimp scampi over linguini for dinner. I hope everyone has a nice day!
xx

Hope your oldest is feeling better as the day is going on. And congrats to your youngest!! Hope you are having a great day!!!

Sure is snowing pretty today!!!!

Good Thursday morning! I was up early on my day off for an appointment at the dealership to change our car battery. I definitely would’ve liked to sleep in, for the first time in forever I hit the snooze button.

Yesterday in a matter of hours the temperature dropped from 1°C/34°F to -20°C/-4°F, it was brutal when I left work. It’s currently -28°C/-18°F with the wind and it will stay very cold over the next week or so. We’re still dreading a big snowstorm on Sunday, keeping my fingers crossed that it won’t be as bad as they say.

There will be lots of running around today, between the dealership, grocery shopping, a medical appointment for me and David’s physio, as well as going over to my in-laws in preparation for their trip to Hawaii next week (we’ll be taking care of their house and birds during that time). Not much of a relaxing day for a day off...Hope everyone will have a great day ahead!

Hope you find some time for relaxing on your day off!!
One of my bosses is leaving for Hawaii tomorrow! Hope your in-laws have safe travels!

I am looking forward to the storm this Sunday. I love the quietness of the snow and causes the my town to stop for a moment in time, especially in the winter. I am grateful I have a warm place to call home and I am with my family during that time. How is everyone else's day going?

I'm a little giddy about the predicted upcoming snow storm too!

Good Morning, my Friends!
Welcome to Milestone number one of the 2019 Countdown!!
(With many more to come; some sooner than you might think!)

Days to the Season: 300
Days to Christmas Day: 342

And there you have it.
The 300-day Season Window.
And tomorrow we begin Season count numbers starting with a "2".
Wow!

It just keeps getting warmer by degrees.
Today will see us in the low 50's, but then upper 50's are predicted for tomorrow and Saturday.
After that....well....I don't want to think about it, because by Sunday night, we will be well below freezing!
Right now, we show 36 degrees here on our back door thermometer.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks!

Merry Milestone Day!!!!!

Happy Friday Eve and Merry Milestone Day! I was up early today and could not fall back asleep so I am just having a cup of coffee. Looks like we are looking at our first major storm for Sunday...I am going to get something good to make for dinner and hopefully we don't lose power! I am looking forward to some downtime and not having to run on a schedule. I am off on Monday too so that is nice to look forward to as well. Hope you all have a great day!

I really dislike waking up early & not being able to get back to sleep!! Hopefully you keep your power. Us girls are hoping to get a call from the boss on Monday morning telling us to stay home. LOL I am thinking about making a big pot of soup tonight or tomorrow afternoon, for the weekend. I always think soup is better after it sits a day or 2!!

What a bummer! Sad sight!!

Happy Thursday!

Ugh, the weekend weather. Wouldn't be so bad if they were calling for all snow, but after beginning as snow, we're supposed to get a day of sleet and freezing rain, followed by more snow and sleet, then a rapid hard freeze in the single digits. I worry about losing electricity, as we don't have a generator and all that ice will make any power restoration a slow process. We'll just have to hope for the best, and maybe the storm will shift to decreased the ice forecast.

I hope you get only snow, keep your power & stay warm, comfy & cozy!!! xx

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

I went to the ortho doctor yesterday about my hand. He was pretty confident he wouldn't have to amputate. I hope he didn't think I was overreacting, but I can't really stand the thought of weakness in my hand. It's already causing issues playing my guitar. I'm not so good that people ask me to play for them, but I really enjoy playing for myself.

The doctor was a nice guy, and he recommended some things to keep my arm straight as much as possible, especially while sleeping. He also prescribed steroids. Maybe all of that will help, and avoid surgery.

We took Jacob out to dinner last night, then made the dreaded trip to Walmart.

I hope y'all have a great day!

I'm glad they don't have to amputate! Hope it feels better quick!!

Hii Holiday...Hope your having a Merry day so far pal

 

[Yuletide Junkie]

Thanks, SFM! Yes, I keep telling myself that too. I don't want to rush time, but unfortunately I feel like the older I get, that's what happens. My best friend called me yesterday and said the tickets for "The Not So Scary Mickey's Halloween" went on sale and we soon need to pick what night we want to go when we are in Disney. We are going this coming September and need to start really finalizing in March - that puts us at 6 months out!

...And I thought purchasing plane tix two months before my trip, to see the Ancient One and his bride, to Florida was bad...

Hii Holiday...Hope your having a Merry day so far pal

I sure loved the snow this morning & early afternoon... but now it's turned to rain. Boooooooo!!!
