Rainy Saturday

Hubby and I worked out our little spat and all is well -- actually, better than before the spat.  Guess that's what happens when some things build up.

Anyway ...

I got through my full day.  TJ's wasn't busy at all.  Guess weekdays at opening are the best time.  I started going on Sundays at opening and last week it was too crowded.  Cleaned bathrooms, make Magic Cookie Bars for today, made tomato soup for me.

Flying through the book I'm reading -- Happiness for Beginners (Katherine Center).  I actually stopped last night so I could finish it tonight.  It's a feel good book, but not too cheesy.  I'm set to check out other books from this author.  It's just the right amount of fluff meets sustenance that feels good to read over the holidays.

Kids are set to keep our bubble VERY TIGHT from now until Christmas.  It's mad out there and we have to be super vigilant.  Anyone breaks what we agreed on and we'll pass on Christmas with them (it only us and the kids).  Everyone has been careful, but no appointments or "extra' things for the next couple of weeks.  It's that simple.  It shocks me what people are doing in gatherings this holiday.

Next week is early VOTING again in GA -- ugh.  That's our only exception for what we are doing outside the house.  All of us have a voting plan and we'll be quick and safe.  Of course, I'll go when the polls open (first in line plan again).  

The rest of the week is Christmas kitchen prep.  Making and baking lots to take the pressure off the following week.  Hubby is in VA so it's kind of a good time to hunker down and cook -- me, my dogs and Christmas music.  

The vintage tree topper came.  I love it, but it doesn't stay up on the artificial tree.  Apparently, I need to get a real stick to support it.  Turns out our lights are a bit yellow next to the very silver-toned star.  Don't love it on the tree.  I put it on a table though.  

Have a happy Saturday.  Stay well.  Later gators.
