Worked at home today, all day. After months of working 5 days a week, it was wonderful to not have to drive in, yet I kept feeling like I didn't belong at home.
DS10.11 is going crazy with impatience. Christmas can't come fast enough. I'm sure he's waiting for one present in particular, and then we'll never see or hear from him until he decides to eat.
Yumi is having trouble keeping to her diet. She's only allowed 1/2 cup a day because she needs to lose a few kitty pounds. We can't feed her diet food because she's allergic to corn. We feed her a grain free kibble, 1/4 cup in the morning and 1/4 cup at night. For some reason, she's been devouring it so quickly. I don't get it. She's been hunting for more food and we find her in places she shouldn't be.
I made soft ginger reindeer cookies. I noticed one pretzel antler missing and worried it was the cat. Thankfully DS10.11 confessed, and I didn't have to throw the batch away thinking the cat had possibily licked them all!
Better Late than Never Christmas cards should go out tomorrow. I tried to send cards to only loved ones we won't see the next few weeks. (I'll be so glad when survival unemployment mode is over.)
I have to pick up a few last minute gifts tomorrow, and my paycheck. In reserve order.
I can't believe they are forcasting rain for Christmas Eve and snow for Christmas Day. To me that translates to ICE!!
DS14 told me why watches are made with quartz. Turns out the vibrations from quartz have the amazing abilitily to keep accurate time.
Surprised Russell didn't win, yet completely understand why Natalie did. Next season's twist sounds really interesting- Villians vs. Heroes
I really shouldn't wait for the end of the day to drink water, but I get so busy during the day, I forget to drink.
Chocolate covered pretzles had to be invented by a woman. Whoever she was, I thank her immensely!!
I forgot to tell Santa I need chocolate covered cranberries too.
My mind is now wandering in a dangerous chocolate direction. I better go find a better distraction.

I think it's normal to have the feeling of not belonging after changing your work routine. :o) I am SURE your family enjoyed having you there. :o)
Alex is growing impatient for Santa's arrival too. :o) I remember feeling the same way when I was a child. :o) Ah, the anticipation! :o)
You mentioned your cards: At least you're sending some. I haven't sent one at all. There was a time when I sent out LOTS. I scaled back quite a bit last year and this year I REALLY scaled back. lol
The weather prediction for you does seem to me like ice too. :o( Ice is a mess.........I hope the weather cooperates better than that. :o)
When I drink water, I have to drink it early in the day or I'll be in the bathroom all night long. I have a hard enough time sleeping through the night......I don't need to add extra visits to the bathroom too! lol :o)
Choc covered pretzels ARE delish. Made hubby some peanut butter balls tonight that I will cover with choc tomorrow.mmmmmmmmmmm
that's it it's over no need to watch the final now lol I meant to catch up last night but the sound went out and I had to reboot the system
My kids can't wait for xmas either, especially Katie. She had a count down chain made on Dec 1 and now that it is down to the final days she gets more anxious, but I love seeing the joy it brings. Now we just need to bake some cookies for Santa.
I agree with you on Survivor, I thought russel would win but he did make some bad choices along the way
I love chocolate pretzels also, I haven't tried the cranberries but they sound good
We have weather warnings going out for us already, Ice storm on christmas eve and snow christmas all the way thru Saturday am. I just hope we don't get another power outage.
I am sure you will get back in the groove at home, you just have a new schedule, the one you love
Anticipation. I love reading your random rambles.... glad you have some time off now. Enjoy the holiday - I know you will!
That's wonderful that you get to enjoy some time off for the holidays. I'm happy to hear that you didn't have to throw away all your cookies, what a shame that would have been. Enjoy your week and the holidays.
That's great that you can do some work from home.
My son is really excited about Christmas this year too. Not sure why
Maybe Yumi needs a bit more food in the winter. I would think with it being cold maybe she burns more cals?
Mmmm chocolate
Have a great day!
