Working on dinner. I started it a bit later since I expect Skywise to be running late. His guesstimate of tonight's mail volume was in the millions of pieces so even going in later than usual, he couldn't even guess at when he would be home....

Afternoon.
He got home at 4:30 am last night so we are running later than usual. Don't know when he'll be home tonight. *sigh* And people wonder why we don't enjoy Christmas. We will do our "enjoying" once he walks in the door on Christmas Eve and spend the week until New Year's Day winding down/recovering.

Afternoon.
Our only bathtub is out of service and we're going to have to cut a hole in Spirit's bedroom wall in order to fix it.
At least that's what Skywise is saying at the moment.
He's in the basement chuckling at the moment so maybe cutting holes in walls won't be necessary.

Okay. We'll be cutting holes in walls on Sunday.
Oh happy day......  Smiley

Skywise got in at 5:15 am this morning.  Smiley He left for work about 40 minutes ago. I don't know how he does it.
I'm going to crash for a bit so I can get through the rest of the day.

I got up about an hour ago. I took some painkiller before I laid down and can actually walk reasonably well.
Skywise thinks he knows what's wrong with the bathroom plumbing and naturally, getting to the problem (cutting through walls) will be more difficult than fixing the problem.

He has said that if we had enough money, he'd tear this place down, including the foundation and start over. "I" say if we had that much money, we'd forget this house and use the money to upgrade/remodel/expand the Old House -- which we wish we'd done in the first place -- and have a house that was big enough instead of two that are too small.....

Just found out via my Facebook newsfeed that SCIFiber should be hooking up houses in this area next month!  Smiley Smiley Smiley Soon, VERY SOON we will be able to tell our current Internet Service Provider to take their satellite and shove it where the sun don't shine!

Skywise called a couple of hours ago. He's gonna be really late again. *sigh* This is his 41st "Christmas Rush" and he says it is the worst one ever. Which considering some years, that's saying a lot! Only 11 more days to go. I hope we can get to the "finish line" without losing our minds!

Skywise hasn't called yet but I'm heading out. And HAPPY DAY! Sanctuary is no longer "glitchy". All extra bits of my signature have disappeared.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon.
Skywise got home at 4 am.  Smiley He's already left for work.  Smiley
I'm going to have some tea and then get busy.

I managed to get some work done downstairs until my legs insisted that I stop.
I need at least one more box, maybe two to put books in.
NO MORE CARDBOARD BOXES!

I'll be the first to admit. When the Post Office screws up, they don't mess around.
A package containing some of Spirit's Christmas presents was in town on Wednesday. It "should" have been delivered that day. Instead, it was sent BACK to where it came from -- Independence, Kentucky. After sitting in Independence for over 24 hours, it is now in Cincinnati, OH.  Smiley I am hoping that SOMEONE WILL PUT IT ON A TRUCK TO INDIANAPOLIS so that it could possibly get here in time for Christmas.
Like I said, when the PO screws up, they don't mess around.

Well, the package left Cincinnati about 2 hours ago, hopefully it's on the way to Indianapolis.
Skywise is on the way home and I'm going to head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
Skywise got home at 4 am.
Today was payday and you know what that means.
A nap and painkiller is in my immediate future.
He's getting ready to leave now. Hopefully, by going in early, he'll get off at a decent time. *fingers crossed* Getting caught up before he leaves.

The painkiller I took before I laid down has worn off. It has been working for around 24 hours. I guess it's time to switch to something else.....

Really tired of "facebook conflict". If it weren't for the fact that I find out interesting/important things -- like when SCIFiber is going to start connecting homes and keeping up with specialized topics of interest -- I'd leave. Maybe I should just visit the pages of the groups I belong to and avoid everything else.....

Afternoon.
It's raining. Still. Fortunately, the ground isn't saturated - yet -- so the basement is still dry.

The stress is getting to Skywise. I say, and not for the first time, I'll be glad when he feels it's time to retire....

Spirit's missing package arrived today. The contents are wrapped and ready to be tagged. I have a number of packages that need tags but I know who they belong to. I'll probably get to that tomorrow.

Posted this on facebook a while ago with a flaming orange background.

Developing a strong revulsion for ANYTHING political. Want cats, Marvel, GB and hot men!


I mean it too!

Dinner is cooking.
Skywise said to expect him home when he gets here and I got the impression that he was gonna kick butt and take names in order to get some of the backlog cleared away.
I'm going to make every effort to stay awake until he gets home....

The girls and I have eaten. Skywise just called and is on his way home. He'll be working tomorrow to get caught up 'cause if things aren't "caught up", he'll get blamed for it, deserved or not.  Smiley
Christmas can't get here soon enough.
I'm going to head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley  Smiley
