@mytime6630 According to local news, a number of entertainers were at the Packers game: Olympic & World Champion gymnast Simone Biles (her hubby is Jonathan Owens, safety for Green Bay Packers), comedian & Packers fan Charlie Berens, rapper & Packers fan Lil Wayne, Taylor Swift in skybox watching her BF. I didn't see any of them, not surprising when attendance was over 78,000. Last but not least, hometown boy & season ticket holder Tony Shalhoub, who played Monk; he was on the sidelines and shown on the Jumbotrons before the game.
Recap 12/5 T
1) Salmon & something else (need to decide) for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walk dog at tech college b/c neighborhood roads again snow and/or ice covered 3.83 mi happy dog & happy me
3) Message PZ re Sunday plans / bake muffins (use up ripe bananas) / NO choir rehearsal tonight / read / other? yes
JFT 12/6 W
1) Make meatloaf and squash for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walk dog 4.02 miles happy dog & happy me
3) Bring boxes (all 6) of nativities up from basement / set up nativities collections / wash dishes / read / other?
Already have the Advent candles in the windows and Advent wreath on table, plus regular wreath on front door. Last night I dug out the fake tree box in the basement, and hubby took the hint when he saw it at the bottom of the stairs to bring it up into living room. Then while I was out walking dog, he set fake tree up. Win/win! Now to get my decorating going, plus search for live tree sales in our area, for the family room. Going to a farm and cutting our own is a thing of the past, sad to say.

13. Therapy thoughts: Prioritizing is hard. There is so much that feels important. I need to talk to my parents about later-life plans (particularly assisted living and funeral preferences). I've never been through something like that and would like to know how to go about making arrangements, but I don't really know who to talk to about it. How do you take the hurt out of caring? I get very down and discouraged by people's hurt that is bigger than what I can help. Also sometimes when I get upset it's unreasonable and I know it and that makes me more upset, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.
WFTY: Priorities. State testing is over, I still don't have a final exam, I still don't know what I'm teaching next term. Trying to avoid freaking out. Ugh. I know I can handle this but I wish I didn't have to. I like knowing what I'm doing AHEAD OF TIME.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.3 -

JFT Wednesday
- Work by 8:00
- Type up notes from yesterday's meeting
- More meetings
- Wrap gifts
- Shower
- Bed early
Hubby talked me into trivia last night rather than staying home. We had fun and were in the lead for much of the game, only to falter in the end. On the way home we stopped at our favorite local donut shop to get donuts for work. Between his meetings and mine we ordered 5 dozen donuts. They were very fresh and way to tempting to pass up taste testing. Especially after having a few drinks.
Tonight we are definitely staying in. I have to help mom with a few things after work, but then I'm going HOME, putting on PJs and organizing/wrapping gifts. We have like 20 unopened packages in my dining room and two bags from Kohls in my room. I'll need to make a list and check things off to make sure everything I expect to be there is there. Then I can wrap. I bought some really fun wrapping paper for the foster kids' gifts. One gets Snoopy, the other gets Grinch. Both get glittery bows! OH, I need to buy tape and scissors. V stole my good scissors, and my others are dull, dull, dull...
JFT Thursday

- 8:00 - 11:00 meeting

JFT Thursday
- 7:00 meeting Decided to skip it
- 8:00 - 11:00 meeting

- Home
- Shower
- PJs
- Organize/wrap gifts
All of my Christmas shopping is D-O-N-E, and a good deal of it is wrapped. The girls are actually only getting one gift each this year, plus some stocking stuffers. Most of our Christmas budget went to foster children in the area. We were able to fulfill the need & wish lists for 2 local kids. Last night I spent hours wrapping their gifts and putting pretty bows on the packages. Kids may not really care about that stuff, but I want them to feel special and fancy, not like an after thought or something rushed. Sounds silly, but wrapping gifts is a special thing for me. Almost like an act of love, maybe exactly like that. My mom did the best she could. She was a single parent with a minimum wage job. Time and money was tight. She always managed to give me a nice Christmas, but it wasn't like everyone else's. The gifts weren't wrapped and the quality and quantity of stuff wasn't like my friends. Sounds shallow, but as a kid I didn't understand why Santa would treat me differently. I want these kids to feel special, loved and the same as other kids. That might mean getting the latest toys or the current fashions, it might be the new bedding and shoes. Either way I hope they smile on Christmas morning. We are blessed financially, and my kids are older and don't really need anything. S & V are very happy with our choice to give to others. They have both had friends whose families struggled to provide, and like to help whenever they can.
Anyway, more wrapping tonight.
Mom's car also broke down the other day. It's fixed now, but I need to go pick it up and drop it off to her. It was a little pricier than I anticipated, but way cheaper than buying a new car.

13. Therapy thoughts: Prioritizing is hard. There is so much that feels important. I need to talk to my parents about later-life plans (particularly assisted living and funeral preferences). I've never been through something like that and would like to know how to go about making arrangements, but I don't really know who to talk to about it. How do you take the hurt out of caring? I get very down and discouraged by people's hurt that is bigger than what I can help. Also sometimes when I get upset it's unreasonable and I know it and that makes me more upset, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.
WFTY: Priorities. I feel completely off. There's SO much I need to do and I can remember some of it but some of it is just sort of out of reach? And I'm tired and fuddled and anxious and the only reason I'm not overwhelmed is because I can't think of everything.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.2 -

@pridesabtch Wonderful that you are sharing your bounty with those less fortunate! I had to giggle when I read that your hubby is making soup beans. A very southern dish. My hubby's mom came from southeastern TN and always called it soup beans. Being raised in WI, I always had bean soup (type of bean varied, depending on specific variety of soup). My hubby and I usually call it by what we were raised with, so always have different interpretations.
Recap 12/7 R
1) Leftovers for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walk dog 3.63 mi. We had to skip the Public Safety Training Center parking lot on our route due to presence of fire truck and bunch of trainees at the Burn Tower, but we went around the Transportation Center lot instead. One young woman called to us from her car, you have a cute dog! With a laugh, I thanked her. Happy dog & happy me.
3) More decorating / wash pots & other stuff / balance bank accounts / read ~ not very much / other? dusted as I decorated, updated budget s/s
JFT 12/8 F
1) More leftovers / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walk dog 3.59 mi happy dog & happy but tired me (5 days straight & 18.5 miles)
3) Pack up knickknacks / finish decorating ~ only snowman stuff left / return all boxes to basement storage / call Mom & Dad
/ read / other?
Last night I received text from friend/former co-worker (and our tax preparer LOL), wanting to set up lunch with our former management team from 12+ years ago. We used to meet occasionally once I was "eliminated" from that job by my long-time manager's successor, but it's been a while, at least since before the pandemic. I look forward to seeing 3 of the 4 people (I worked with them for decades, but 2 even longer than the last 2), and for them I can be happy to meet (not until mid-January). LOL
