FIVE Days -- Oh My!

I had another fun holiday day yesterday. 

Brunch and bookclub book exchange -- take a look at the before and afters. We all received a book we hadn't read before, but had we done the exchange the other way, we would've had to switch up. 

Serendipity. 

My selections

I've read this.

The book I received.

I want to read this.

Creative and fun!

Kids were over for football and they helped move the stuff I bought at my neighbors. Turns out a few things he "sold" me, his wife didn't agree hah. Got a refund -- oh well. More to come on these items once I get them placed and such. Holiday prep is taking priority over my house so I have to wait -- something to look forward to when Christmas is finished. I'm enjoying the re-do.

On a less-good note ...

My foot isn't happy. The walk to brunch did it in again. Resting and NSAIDS today and I'll see if I can hike tomorrow. I think it's just inflammation -- nothing broken, pulled, etc.

I was beat to the bone when the kids left. Crawled into bed, read a couple of chapters, and sound asleep. I ALMOST feel like I'm getting sick, but my recovery stats are staying great. Guess it's old-fashioned tired.

I have 5 days until OUR Christmas. Lord help me with everything. I'll get a HUGE thing finished today -- sorting gift piles and seeing if I have any holes. Sometimes that happens -- I end up with just one thing for someone's stocking and I didn't notice. This "unknown" is weighing on me because I may need to add shopping to my week. (I think I'm low on my eldest son's stuff.) Maybe some year I'll be organized enough to keep a list instead of a haphazard pile on a bed. 

But first, HAIR APPOINTMENT and another kind of book discussion -- oh boy. I need a little divine guidance on this too lol. 

Have a happy, fun, holiday-style Monday. I'm trying to add a little holiday fun to every day this week. Later gators.
