Afternoon.
Skywise just left for work and I've just taken painkillers. I have a lot to do today and my legs can't be allowed to slow me down so.... painkillers before I start anything.....

Worked in the basement until the legs demanded that I quit. It's still early so once the pain eases off, I'll go back down and do some more.

I've quit for the night but I've made a space big enough for the tree stand. More work to be done but my legs aren't cooperating so... tomorrow is another day.

I found a spot where water leaked into the basement -- when I don't know, it was in a more or less hidden corner -- and more books that need to be salvaged if possible. Something else to do after the holidays. My "post-holiday To Do List" is way too long. *sigh*

My left eyelid is twitching.
Very disconcerting.
Probably caused by fatigue and stress -- both of which I have a lot of right now.

Afternoon.
Skywise is getting ready to leave. Don't know when he'll be home. Today will be the busiest day of the season. Last prediction I heard was that they'd process 2 million pieces of mail tonight.   Smiley
I'll be so glad when Christmas is over.

Skywise hasn't called yet which doesn't surprise me. Tonight is the busiest night of the Christmas Rush.
As I'm falling asleep at the keyboard, I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon.
Skywise got home at 7:15 am.
He's getting ready to leave. Tonight shouldn't be as bad a last night.

We hope.

Skywise hasn't called yet and my legs hurt like hell.
I don't know how much longer I'm going to stay up. I had a nap today but it's wearing off.

Okay, heading out. I need to get prone even if I fall asleep.

Afternoon.
Cognitive functions are barely online. Skywise got home at 6:20 this morning and we were up at noon.
He's at work now and I'm waiting for the painkiller to kick in. I could barely walk this morning and naturally I had to shop at speed. As soon as I can move, I have a ton of stuff to do. Oh happy day.

And.... I hate Christmas. Not the way Scrooge did but I can't wait for it to be over. Maybe we'll be able to enjoy the season once Skywise is retired.

I've been working in the basement.
I hurt like hell from knees to hips. I'm up here until the pain eases off. I don't expect it to stop.

I'm going to head out. No word from Skywise yet but I can wait for his call just as easily if not easier in the bedroom.

The second pie -- which Moonie pretty much made herself -- is in the oven.

As soon as the second pie was out of the oven, I got prone and took a nap. Now I get the clean up the mess so I can make pizza later.

Pizza dough is rising and Moonie is shredding the mozzarella. I figure my eyelid will stop twitching now that the pies are made.

I had to use package sealing tape to hold the covers on the pies. Whoever takes them out of the carriers will have to be very careful since the foil pans are thinner than last year's and "flex" dangerously. I nearly had a catastrophe TWICE. As it is, one of the pies looks like it has been dropped....  Smiley  Smiley

Moonie and I are agreed that we have enough room for the Christmas tree and the presents. We'll start decorating it tomorrow. The basement still looks like a very disorganized version of the government warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark and I'll be doing something about that as my legs permit after the holidays. The first major thing to do is build bookcases. The design is modular so once the first section (which will be about 12.5 feet long) is put up, I can keep adding 4 foot sections to it until I run out of room. Then I'll start on another wall. New rule around here: NO BOOK, MAGAZINE or ANYTHING MADE OF PAPER sits on the floor without being protected by a waterproof container. I found another book that has mildewed. It's too expensive to replace -- unless I can find it on Half Price Books -- and I don't know if I can salvage it.
