the cats would run off with it and hide it, the little stinkers! (LOL)

Enjoy! I just decided my bed has dried up enough for me to sleep in it tonight, from the bottle of pepsi that exploded all over it last night. Flexibility, right? I'm going to try to forgive my low energy today and hope for better tomorrow.

Figure I'll start with making a "todo" list that I can cross off "done" items. That always helped me at work. Seeing accomplishments gave me energy to go on to the next task. I suffer so from SAD, and it gets dark so darn early these days! I swear, even the dog is affected by the lack of sunshine. But she'll be in heaven from all the kids, and "grandma" being home again. And, like I said, I've got the oldest grandson coming tomorrow to help with the tree. Hopefully he'll help with a few other things, too. As well as give his grandma a few big hugs to keep her going...

Good luck with every one coming in for the holidays at your place. Hope you can find everything you end up stashing in the meantime. Usually takes me months to figure out where I put stuff to get it out of the way.

Happy Holidays! And keep the wine flowing!
