In the spirit of San's list of five things for NaBloPoMo, I'm going to simply write five things I am planning on doing today on my day off.
1) Put up Christmas decorations - the tree, the outside lights, and everything. It's supposed to be windy and cold, so we might nix the outside stuff if it's too bad and do that later if we have to.
2) Order my holiday cards - I already have THREE (THREE!) holiday cards, including ones from Elisabeth and J. I bought stamps already, so now it's just figuring out what photos to use from 2025 and order a card.
3) Buy some gifts. Not all of them, but I need to get started. Here's who I think I might be buying for this year. Honestly, just typing this out made me feel better. The list is reasonable.
- My husband
- The 2-3 niblings we get in the draw
- Bestest Friend
- TJC
- My peer mentor
- The lady who coordinates yoga at the student union - She's retiring and her last day is January 2. *sigh* Guess who's taking over coordinating yoga?
- The mail carrier
- I'll grab a tag or two off an angel tree
4) Take Hannah on an adventure. Last weekend we went to the dog park for the first time in 2025. There are reasons I stopped taking her, but she had a blast and maybe I should be better about taking her to places she can run around off-leash more often.

| Dog park last Sunday. I love her furrowed brow. What does she have to be worried about? |
5) When I came back from my cleaning my mother's stuff, I had two totes with me. One of those totes is mostly photographs. The other tote is stuff - paper products, knickknacks, craft supplies, etc. I did a first pass on Wednesday and organized it, but I'd like to get the rest of that tote put away/dealt with. The tote with the photographs is a longer project, but it does remind me that maybe I should put a photograph album or two on my holiday list.

6) Write a holiday wish list. Right now, I'm thinking I want a fancy new hair dryer and maybe a flat iron. Maybe.
Hannah always looks...majestic.
ReplyDeleteHooray for the first holiday cards of the season. I was so paranoid about Canada Post I sent mine out obscenely early. Also, I didn't order photocards this year which saved time so I was ready much earlier than usual. I have mild regret about not ordering a photocard. Oh well...maybe next year??
I think your day-after plans are good plans as you make the switch from one holiday to the beginnings of the next.
ReplyDeleteWait. WAIT. Are YOU taking over the yoga coordinating????
ReplyDeleteYou reminded me that I STILL haven't dealt with all the photos I have had printed. I'm getting more and more behind on this project that I have been putting off for OVER A YEAR. It's not that hard and yet I'm MAKING it hard! In my head it's an enormous thing, but it probably could get sorted in an hour. Why am I being so slow with this? WHYYYY
You have an ambitious day planned! I mean just putting up the Christmas decs is a big job. Good luck with it- i hope the weather cooperates.
ReplyDeleteHannah does look worried, ha ha. It's funny because Foxy has a resting sad face- it's just the way his markings are. He's definitely the happiest cat I know, so it's funny to look at his "sad" little eyes.
Yes to dog adventures! I'm not saying that my dog is spoiled, but every time that we put her harness on, her first move is to the door by our garage because she expects to be taken to a park instead of around the block for her walks.
