The minutes tick by and I think 'I should get to work. I really need to go to work. There's a lot to do at work'.
It's approaching 1PM and I am officially saying 'I'm not going to work'.
Not today. Tomorrow, definitely and for basically a full day.
But today? I chillax at home. King Arthur delivered the best chocolate chip cookie mix to the house so I will make H. a batch of really delicious cookies. Give him a treat. Started the day with a cheery 'Good Morning, H. What are your plans today?' to make up for reaming him yesterday.
It's just a ticket, after all. Shit happens. Lately, a lot happens to him but oh well. The first accident in the series of auto mishaps has been over a year ago (though it feels like yesterday). How do I know that? 'Cuz the annual torture of 'vehicle registration due in December' happened so...we bought J.'s new car about a year ago. And we did that to give H. the old Camry to use.
We awoke to the news of a huge warehouse fire in Oakland - a rave event was happening there. 9 confirmed dead and many more missing. All young people out for a good time. Sort of put things in perspective. Prayers to those awaiting news of where their loved ones are. Sad for the community and our area.
I've done a little cyber shopping for the men in my life. Hubby has identified two things he wants and I've given the OK to 'procure away, Sir'. Reminding him that I would enjoy some cash for gaming - whether it's casino or Facebook - that's my Christmas wish. B.'s main gift was purchased when he was here and will arrive this coming week. I've also gotten a few little things and will get some 'treats' to include in the Christmas in a Box we are building for him. H. has a list, too and there's items steadily arriving. I have to wrap a couple family gifts and get them shipped off. We don't do Christmas cards anymore so nothing to worry about there.
We finalized and paid for all the cruise excursions and extras - and will make the final cruise payment on the last work day before the Winter Break. We have that long to pay so why not wait a bit? We're both getting excited about the cruise - it's all new to us both and that will be a lot of fun to experience all these things together. Nice excursions at our three ports of call - Mazatlan, Cabo and Puerto Vallarta. Two full sea days before the ports and one full sea day after - I think I will love the at sea days the most for just the simple permission to veg. On a lounge chair near a pool. And/or in the casino.
At some point today, the men here are supposed to begin working on Christmas Decorating 2016. So far, there's no activity - but J. did purchase the 'new' light projector we are going to try - it's a trade-off to avoid having to put up the lights on the house - which is every one's least favorite job of the Christmas season. Yard decor and the new projector and we might be able to call the outside 'done'.
Then hopefully on to the inside - soon, I hope.
It's so cold - my feet are in fleece slippers but feel like blocks of ice at the end of my legs. Time to get moving and warm up, I suppose.
