I'm bored.....so not used to this feeling but I think I *could* get used to it Dh and ds8 left yesterday for TN, took FIL with them and are visiting family down there (ds already called last night crying that he misses me ) That leaves just me, ds17 and the dog but they each have their own very important schedules.....friends, video games and naps. I need to go shopping to get paint swatches and decide what color to paint a couple old accessory pieces in our bedroom (a tv stand I'm hoping to use like a vanity and a cheap jewelry armoire) and a few other things. Thinking of painting them a dark/navy blue chalk paint. I really wanted to totally redo our whole bedroom this week but dh doesn't want me to buy new dressers/nightstands without him so I'm on hold. Got a closet organizer that I'm debating installing myself.....not sure I'm capable of finding studs and not destroying the walls So, what are y'all doing?

I'm at work... notice I didn't say I'm working. LOL I have been avoiding working all morning! Of course, I really should get to it... eh, after lunch.

I’ve got the day off, so that’s always good. So far I’ve done some laundry and paid bills. I could tackle cleaning the office / spare room / ok junk room, but I probably won’t. I’m very content to do very little. Retail work about killed me this Christmas.

I'm heading to the dentist in 2 minutes. Taking deep breaths and thinking calm thoughts right now.

Cleaning. I have been waiting for a time when everyone was gone. Seems crazy to waste these free alone moments on cleaning but it is so frustrating to try to get it done with bodies underfoot and have them make a mess moments later. I do plan to watch a dvr’ed Hallmark movie as a treat later🙂

I'm off this wk. Picked a good wk to be off. It's storming here. So far about 7 inches of snow. I'm tackling our closet and decluttering it, and doing laundry.

There is a reason I do not take off the entire week between Christmas and New Year. I've been bored since yesterday. Did my Goodwill rounds on senior day yesterday and scored another adjustable desk lamp. Nasty storm came in overnight so I haven't ventured out yet today. I'm TRYING to avoid checking work email since I'm on vacation (they'll call if something is OMG-important that needs my input, but I'm hoping it's nice and quiet with the shutdown). I was supposed to go to the island last night to see a friend who has a regular Wed night gig that I never get to go to during the week, but I wasn't feeling well. Tonight I'm going to the visitation for a dear friend's dad who passed away Friday.

I got a piano last week so had to move some bookcases. moved 2 to "the library" and reorganized them. Now I have 90% of our books on 1 wall. I've been donating them slowly for a while
It's also guest room for grands and I got all toys and games on the bookshelves on the other wall. As a result, I have 3 Empty underbed chests!
Made a run to goodwill donation and emptied my trunk.[b Also cleared out some junk in computer room like old cds of digital photos. Hope I'm not sorry later and hope dh doesnt notice I've moved some of his junk. I didn't throw anything of his but reorganized some of it.
He's on his way home. May be some conversation about my work.

It is the end of today for me, and I have done practically nothing. DH is off work until Jan 7th, so he is doing the cooking - he made soup for lunch from the Christmas leftovers and is now cooking dinner. I went for a walk this afternoon, and I've done some knitting in front of the TV. Tomorrow will probably be similar!

Today: need to take photos of clothes I want to sell. Then go downtown to pick something up. In the afternoon I may have coffee with BFF. I haven’t seen her in a few days.

I'm making bean soup with the leftover ham bone & relaxing in my pjs because no one is home. I've been planning goals for 2019 already & put a very few Christmas decorations away. I think I'm going to go take a bubble bath in a minute and then dh will be home.

My company is shut down for the week and I am blissfully happy about it.
Vacations are usually hectic times of travel, so this feels like such a treat to just hang out!
I went to Hobby Lobby, Marshalls, and Bath & Body Works this morning. Took my time wandering around, got a few clearance items.
Round 3 of company arrives later today for the weekend.

I’m sitting in a piercing salon waiting to get glass spacers to replace 3 studs in the cartilage piercings I got to mark my 60th birthday. I have to have at least one MRI in the next few weeks.
Later, I’m going to a friend’s house to knit and drink wine.

My plan was to go buy a new washing machine. Mine is acting up, even if it still technically works. The water doesn’t always turn off. So, I’m left checking the time in order to turn the cold water off to avoid it filling. It’s dumped water 3 times. The last 2 are on me, because I forgot to check the drum. The filling is hit and miss.
However, DH is in a pissy mood. I’ll move that one until tomorrow.

DH is having some minor outpatient surgery on his knee. I'm waiting for him to be done. He had the other knee done a few weeks ago and the procedure went really fast and he had a quick and easy recovery. Hoping today goes just as well.

Took down the tree and rearranged the living room. We moved here in October and have not found an ideal set up. The TV is above the fireplace and the room is much smaller than our last house. Guess that is what downsizing is all about, right?

Taking care of a sick kid, plus the healthy ones.
Mailed out five thank you notes for Christmas gifts.
Put away Christmas stockings.
Washed 4 loads of laundry.
Did 2 Jumpstarts (mini book reports) with my youngest.
Filed paperwork.
Almost makes it sound like I accomplished something today.

Took a long hot shower and have the first load of laundry going. I am pulling out of my sugar coma and starting to clean up the Christmas mess. I've been lazy since Christmas Eve and it feels good to get moving again. I could easily skip Christmas and not miss it but I love New Years. My house should be spic and span by New Years Eve and then I will drink booze and play with my husband. I love the fresh start every year.

Working. Year end is upon us.... it’s pretty dead around here anyway, so no big deal. And I’m off on vacation on the 4th for a week anyway, so it’s best I show up 😂

My older sister is here visiting for the week and we just had lunch and are getting ready to play some board games. It’s rainy here and I’m still worn out from Christmas, the house needs cleaned and I really would rather be napping. She has an intellectual disability and also uses a walker and I don't like to leave her unsupervised. I don’t sleep well while she is here and I’m feeling it.
Also, my bff and her daughters are coming over this evening for our Christmas celebration. I need coffee, lots of coffee.
