Yesterday was wild. It just was non-stop, beginning to end. I didn't even boot up my computer or look at email on my phone. Whew. It was like... church, lunch, video games (DS had requested a "good" arcade visit for his bday - Sunday was teh first day we could do it. It WAS good. They even had a sort of ax throwing game, with rubber axes). Then Home Depot (because, suddenly, ALL the lightbulbs in the dining room were either out or dying), then Costco. Home from Costco, put things away, take the boys to Youth... come home, pick up the things they either forgot or didn't know they needed until we got there (that second part was on someone else, not them), then BACK to drop those things off. home for a quick bite of dinner. BACK to pick them up and then bed.
Today...
Only three classes (two in China, those are done). I still need to sew together that crochet project. DS owes me some work (for money he requested in advance to buy a specific Chrsitmas gift). We're going to do a massive overhaul of the house in terms of cleaning and somewhat (not too bad) decluttering. That starts today.
I have a pot of broth on to make chicken soup for lunch. Haven't planned dinner yet, but I need to because it's a tkd night.
Have a good one, ladies.

Today a homeschool buddy I have never met IRL but only in our old homeschool group online is coming for a visit. I am so excited! Turns out she lives near Wichita, so she is only about 30 minutes away. I am doing laundry, cleaning in general and I need to also get ready to make my biscotti tree for our Christmas party with my Bible study ladies tomorrow. Busy, busy!

Enjoy the visit Merrilee!
I had my echo, EKG and check-up with my cardiologist this morning. All is well with the valve and I go back in 2 years. After that I killed some time and went out for ramen. The it was home to do the second load of laundry and get stuff done on the work front. Tonight DH and I are using a gift card to go out to dinner and then we'll drive around and look at lights.

Merrilee, that's exciting! I have always enjoyed meeting people in person that I've already met only.
Funny story - 8 years ago, I met a lady online. She was *so* excited because we had common interests (we were in the same FB group), she didn't know anyone offline who had this interest... and she also lived in Birmingham! She was SO excited, and I was like, sure, let's meet for coffee... and then we quickly learned she lives in... Birmingham, England! It was a little too far for either of us to travel for coffee!
I'm feeling a little tired. I had a high carb lunch (always a bad idea, but it was ready and I had the time to eat...). Bfore lunch, DS and I did a lot of our tasks to get the house in shape. One of the kitchen drawers wouldn't close. I emptied it, pulled it out, removed ALL the stuff that had been stuck behind it, vacuumed the space, re-configured the drawer dividers, and replaced it. DS removed some old blinds for me from the bathrooms. He ran into some issues with the replacement window coverings, but we're okay (at least temporarily). I spent a couple of hours wrapping gifts to ship. (They'll go out tomorrow.)
I have a ukulele class with three siblings coming up. I'm not sure what I'll do between that and dinner. I'm making a sheet pan dinner, so that will be easy.

I picked up a good friend to go to Fredericksburg (about 4 hrs away) to stay til tomorrow enjoying the sights. The town goes all out for Christmas. We get about 30 minutes from her house and it starts raining. Checked the weather for our destination and it’s predicted to rain there most all of today. We turned around. We stopped for lunch then I took her home. I stopped by the store and post office. I’m going to rest awhile. Later I’ll cut out the pieces for a quilt I’ve already been paid to make.
