T-Minus-Three-Days to Christmas

I didn't sit down much today, not until the end here.  :)

Skipping a few things, it went something like this.

Up fairly early, cup of coffee, do dishes and start a load of laundry.

Feed cat.  In an odd shift, keep other cat off her while she tries to eat.

Run to Walgreens to pick up first batch of things we need.

Run everything home, unload it, put it away.

Run to lunch, meet up with the guys, go to GFS (bulk food place) and pick up 1/2 the food we need, and stand in a line a dozen people long while the cashier screams for more people who aren't showing up.

Go home and unload and put all that away.

Run to the grass strip airport to pick up Kaylee's Christmas present that arrived today.

Run to grocery store to pick up last 1/2 of the food we need. Lines of people into the aisles, and they've moved everything and rearranged their aisles. I can't find half the stuff. I hate them for this. Hoards of people. Hoards.  Empty shelves and hoards.

Come home, unload and put away everything. Do bedding for two rooms, wash, dry, make.

Chase down cat and give meds against her will, try to feed her.  Turns her nose up.

Harass kid who has been lying in bed not feeling well too to get up and clean her stuff out of the guest room.

Put laundry away, do one more load of both laundry, put away clean dishes, load the messed up plates the cats didn't eat, get kitchen stuff ready.

Try to feed cat one more time, something I think she likes.  Waste another entire little can of food as she turns her nose up at that too.  Clean two more plates and a knife.

Cherry's should arrive shortly.  Kid is soaking in hot bath trying to feel better.  Ann is hanging out in her chair next door trying to feel better. Cat is hiding under a chair on the deck trying to feel better. Steve, who has been out all day running around on his own errands, is outside putting up our Christmas lights three days before Christmas.  I think they'll stay there till March, at least, right?

My feet hurt.

Let the festivities begin.  ;)

Dulcie and the tree

Oh Christmas Tree

Dulcie and the Christmas Stuff

Pretty little snowflake. I think this is the ornament Kaylee won for playing guitar at a talent contest at school, and winning.

Roadie.  Suspicious possibly annoyed Roadie.

Curious Cat

STILL Suspicious Roadie.  I don't think she likes me anymore.

It wasn't dark enough when I went outside to take a photo of the lights, but you get the general idea of some of it.

More lights at dusk...
