Hey there, O-Fam! Happy Monday!
Time is really chugging along. It sure doesn't help the way the holiday week chops everything up. This entire month feels like it's discombobulated. Or maybe it's just me? I tend to run on the discombobulated side on a good day
(CW: Holiday Panic
)
I looked at the calendar and it is *5 weeks* until Christmas. Less than that for my family since Christmas is a two-day holiday starting Christmas Eve morning LOL
I am glad that Gary told me that I should go and meet my BFF, that it would be good for me. He was right. ♥ We talked for hours and we didn't get kicked out- all we had ordered was coffee. She had excellent advice about the health insurance/mammogram and commiserated about my parents. Caught up on all of our kids and books and TV shows. It was exactly what I needed and I told her that.
Caitlyn's car is in the shop so I am home all day while she takes mine to work. I got home later than I expected so I didn't do any cleaning. That's on tap for today, both bathrooms need scrubbing. Jaida needs a close eye on her. That dog is trying to run around the house like a crazy one. She is putting her leg down more and more and I am freaking out that she is going to hurt herself worse. Gary and I discussed this morning that even if she is acting normal by the time of the orthopedist appt, we are still going to bring her in. I am extremely frugal and don't like to spend a penny I don't have to (just in case you didn't know that about me
) but we agree that she should be checked out-- both knees- anyway. She has an incredibly high pain tolerance. When she was first diagnosed with the luxation, her kneecap was *backward* and you would not know by the way she was behaving. Post-surgery, she tried to run around the first day she was home. And then the next day and the next...
At least I'm feeling better, no anxiety attacks this morning. Ignore that it is only 7 am. I got time
On that note, have a peaceful and anxiety-free day!

. I was MIA from here most of the weekend and really feel like I got next to nothing accomplished. We were going to finally get the leaves all raked up as the trees behind us have lost all of their leaves, but the wind was blowing so hard it would have been useless to rake. So instead we cleaned out the garage of cobwebs and fir needles and dead spiders 
. I hate spiders even dead ones!! Gimme a snake any day! LOL. I got the house cleaning done 
and the laundry finished 
and so today I can just putter around in my craft room and here at the O. I really want to start the AJ challenges but darn it I really need to get my Calendar pages done too. Not enough hours in the day!! SIL wants to borrow my instapot and have me show her how I make bone broth in it, so I have all the ingredients and my pot out already this morning. I have enough bones to make a couple of batches and they are pretty easy to throw into the instapot and let the pot do its magic. 
So glad to hear your Chuck is doing so well! I don't remember reading exactly what was wrong with him. Stomach issues? I think all of this happened about the time I was out for some time last month.
