Life: It Goes On - December 8

Happy Monday! I swear, one of these days there will be regular posts and even reviews on this blog again. Maybe even this week, although I'm not making any promises, knowing what my to-do list looks like. How are you all doing with getting ready for the holidays? I am so far behind this year. Gifts have not gotten sent to Alaska, Christmas cards have not been ordered, decorating is not done. Although I am getting close on that last one, after spending the weekend working on it. I got a new tree this year to replace my flocked tree; I was so over the mess of that one. I thought this new tree would be quick and easy to set up. Not so much, primarily because I got what I paid for, but I knew how to make it look better. It just took three hours to make it happen. Why do I do things that make my life harder?! 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: I finished Liz Moore's The Unseen World and started Suleika Jaouad's Between Two Kingdoms. Jaouad is married to musician Jon Batiste, but published this book about her battle with leukemia prior to having met him. 

Watched: So much volleyball! Our Huskers are looking so good and we have high hopes this year. Again. 

Read: Struggled finding something that could keep my attention, so I went for something light and fluffy - Bridget Jones Mad About The Boy. A fast read that doesn't require too much thought. 

Made: Turkey pot pie with leftover turkey we'd frozen and raspberry white chocolate bread pudding with the leftover Thanksgiving rolls. We enjoyed several meals from both of those. 

Enjoyed: I didn't leave my house (except to get my flu shot on Saturday morning) from the time I got home from work on Friday until I left to go to work this morning. It was glorious!

This Week I’m:  

Planning: Finishing up the decorating and making a big dent in the shopping. 

Thinking About: All of the things. What do people without ADHD and anxiety think about all day? 

Feeling: After we got our flu shots, both the Big Guy and I were entirely wiped out on Saturday and not a whole lot better yesterday. That double dose you get once you turn 65 kicked our butts! Fortunately, I'm feeling much more energetic today. 

Looking forward to: After 40 years in Omaha, we are finally going to see the community playhouse's annual production of A Christmas Carol this week. BG was really wanting to do something Christmasy this year. 

Question of the week: Do you like to attend holiday shows or concerts this time of year?
