A dreary day here, windy and a little drizzle the temp is about 3 degrees celsius, burr.... We may even get a sprinkling of snow today. Tonight is the official light up of down town and the Xmas parade.The malls are getting a little more crowded at night and on weekends but thankfully I can go during the daytime and I have very little left to do. My OCD and perfectionism really kicks in at this time of year. Everything has to be just so, does this ever add stress I don't need. I'm really trying to do things that adds stress. Get things done ahead of time, I usually start shopping in August and pick up things along the way. I already have my 33 Xmas cards, signed, addressed and read to go. I'll send them out about Nov. 27th. I am planning on doing some wrapping today and tomorrow just a little at a time. I HATE wrapping paper so I use a lot of Xmas boxes and bags, much quicker. I also do a lot of fancy ribbons and put ornaments on the gifts.Hubby is on day 5 of the flu. He is better but still under the weather. Sure hope I don't get it!!! My daughter has a wisdom tooth infected so I've been giving her extra strenght Advil, salt/water swishing plus a new mouth wash just for infections of the mouth. I think she is going to go to out patients to get a prescription for an antibiotic. The tooth will have to come out. This will cost me at least $800.00!! Dentists sure make a lot of money. what do people on limited income do about their teeth???I have a pdoc appointment on tues. after Women's Group. He was going to consult with another doc to see if they could look at different meds. Here we go again!!!Got up early and had a really nice soak in the hot tub and then slathered myself with jasmine lotion. Oh, do I smell nice and so.... relaxed. It's been a good investment.Anyway, that just about wraps it up for today. Everyone enjoy the day. Be well, Debbie

O.K. your x-mas shopping, wrapping and decor are making me very nervous. You are so efficient it made me jealous. I used to be that way but I think new meds have slowed me down, I wish it was over. Last year I decorated the whole house, garage, porch and 17 pines trees, can not see that happening this year. I have bought one gift. Just not into it. This weather has really got me down. NEED SUN. Dentist\'s...YUCK..would rather go to the you know what. Well happy wrapping and have a good week-end, what is left and for goodness sake do not kiss hubby. Naomi
That hot tub sounds so nice! I\'m getting busy with the Christmas stuff too. Your entire family is having health issues!! An infected tooth is no fun, neither is the flu. I hope you can avoid the flu. Good luck with the meds. Hugs and more hugs, Donna
