The decorations are finally done. I don't know why I said finally because I truly enjoy decorating. Today, however, was the day I dread. The decorations on top of my cupboards. I have white lights up there all year. Too that I add colored light, artificial fir garlands ( have to make them stay up for about 20 feet. I use a lot of small nails to keep it there. then the worst part is putting the ribbon around it. This is the most exacting part. It took me almost 7 hours but it looks lovely. It better after all that work. And to top it off I'm moving around on a counter top, not much room for error.Haven't written much lately but just a note to let you know I'm still around. I'm feeling up and down most of this is because I tend to get busy at this time of year, so does everyone else. I just have to push myself beyond my limits everytime and everytime I crash. You'd think after 15 years that I'd know better. I guess I'm a slow learner. I think a lot of this has to do with my OCD and my perfectionism ( that's what my counsellor is focussing on for now).Here in the Nocva Scotia we are expecting a huge snow storm tonight with high winds. Here it comes, old man Winter is telling us he's here!!! they say about 16 inches or for us 40 centimetres. Winds up to 70 km an hour. Lots of blowing snowMichael has already check out the snowblower and everything is working. He just loves to get out and shovel and go for a drive in the four wheel drive. Men and their toys!!! LOLWell , I am off to bed for the night, really tired after the work today. Plus I cleaned all downstairs, just have to wash floors tomorrow ( actually I steam clean them, best money I've ever spent ). Have a good night's rest and be well, Debbie

You must be exhausted. All that work! I\'ll add my vote to see pictures, soon. I\'m not a perfectionist nor a particularly good decorator but when I start I go all out til finished and then am really finished. Sounds like you do the same but with more finesse! Rest. Blessings
