Yikes, It's December!

My, how did it get to be December. I'm sitting in the living room waiting for the chicken and noodles to finish. I said to my friend, Nancy, the other day that I don't know how I ever had the time to work. While I had a "list" of thing to do when I retired, I didn't know just how many thing I could find to keep me busy.
We got up early - and were out to breakfast a little after 7 AM. Back home and then I got busy - load of laundry, general cleaning of some areas including vacuuming. Then I put some fake greens on the railing up to the loft and sorted out some lights and then strung them over the greens. Strung some more lights, washed a window or two, inside and out! Went to WalMart and Home Depot with B and mailed 3 books I sold for the Library at the post office along with returning a package I had ordered on Amazon but they sent the wrong thing. That required time down in the lower level wrapping the books and following directions for returns. I also hooked up a new external drive - one Terabyte! Hard to believe!!! Hooked it up on the computer that I use for video/pictures and music. Then I moved the other external drive back ups to other computers. I still have a bit more to do for that project. And then started dinner - cooking a Sam's chicken to create stock as we had two meals out of it already. Then a neighbor dropped in and now the chicken is finishing in it's noodles and broth. The Sam's chicken is sooooo good!!!!
So, I've been busy - today is an example of my days. I LOVE retirement!!!! Enough!
We are decorated for Christmas - lights on the railings outside and the tree up and our Christmas Eve presents wrapped. So I've moved from H to Ho Ho...
Hope your well on the way to a Holiday Feeling!!!
