Agenda? It's Packed!!!

*sigh* - I forgot to put in my retainers for overnight last night, so I've quickly put them in and I'll wear them until noon today. That means I'll be swimming with them - not really a major problem, but annoying nonetheless. It's going to be a VERY busy day today, and the clock is already ticking. As soon as I get finished with the pool and with breakfast, I'll be hitting the ground running. I have two holiday cards that still need to be addressed and mailed, I have holiday gifts to purchase for DH and for my BFF, Sharon, and I MUST drop by the shop FIRST THING to do a quick financial thing that I forgot to do last night. Well ... no rest for the pure or the wicked. 




It's all about balance, and sometimes my balance 
is really crap. Today I'll have to dance through the day - 
lots to do and several places to go. No time to think 
about it, I just have to pirouette through the whole thing. 



I'm thinking about what I'll make for next week's dinners on Friday, and I have a HUGE piece of meat sitting in a wrapper on my side of the refrigerator. DH picked up a prime rib (or something equivalent) yesterday for our holiday dinner. It was on sale this week and we have to take advantage of those things when buying a piece of meat that costs that much. I love making them, but am always a bit nervous about it too - it's a LOT of money for the meat, and I don't want to be the one who overcooks it. Still, I've done this annually for many years. I have to be confident (and check my recipe - LOL). 




Refrigerators have gotten larger and much more 
efficient through the years. Could you manage with 
just this small space? I doubt you could do that 
these days. I need my side of the 'fridge, and DH 
needs a refrigerator of his own! LOL



I will have to take a careful look at my refrigerator, however. What do I have for meals for the remainder of the week until next Wednesday? I think I still have at least one, maybe two stuffed peppers for my dinners (so good!), and if I have refrigerator room, I might make a quick soup for the remainder of the days until after Christmas. I'm grateful that I'm swimming for the next two days. Swimming always calms my mind. But, today is the final day I can shop for Sharon's gift (yes, I'm guilty and still haven't found the "right" thing for you, GF!). I can't spend a lot of time at this, however, it might end up being a gift card. Unimaginative, but honestly, I always appreciate them. They come in very handy when cash is low and something is needed. 




Today will be a bit of crazy busy. *sigh* It's just the 
way things are going to be until the end of the year. *sigh*



So, I'm off. As you can tell, there's a LOT on my agenda right now. I just have to focus, focus, focus. Oh! And I got the phones at the shop working properly now, so that we can pick up calls for the other line from either phone. It required a bit of intervention from the phone company, but was quick and easy. I thought I had arranged for that set-up earlier, but I actually hadn't. I think I'm going to like the new phones, and their customer care department people are awesome. So ... one step at a time - LOL. Have an excellent Wednesday and Slava Ukraini! I'll be back tomorrow.
