Daily Check In Thread for all!!! Chapter 23

I can't believe we got to 100 posts so fast.  It is unbelievable.  But fun!!!

I hope you all are having a wonderful day today.  I think we were talking about Christmas Shopping.  And how some of us dread it.  I got mine pretty much done and almost wrapped.  I get the grandkids a toy and an outfit.  It gets expensive.  But I try to get things as I go so it isn't so overwhelming financially.  Though it does add up.

I hope that you all are enjoying this Christmas Season!!!

Hugs, Karen

I got 2 job offers today. One starting as soon as Friday! Dave

Hi All-

Having an extremely hard day. Went to counseling and it helped some. Found out yesterday that it's going to cost me $5400 to replace my broken air conditioner. We don't have that money laying around. And in Texas, we are hot and humid most of the time so air is needed. Not sure what we are going to do. And, right here at Christmas. I can't catch a break financially right now.

Please send good thoughts my way that I will get out of this funk and try and figure this thing out.

Wednesday smilers...        **************************   Did you know …      The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.   Idle thoughts of a wandering mind …      Animal Crackers are not really crackers, but cookies      that were imported   to the United States from England in the late 1800s.      Barnum's circus-like boxes were designed with a string handle       so that they could be hung on a Christmas tree.   Fun with words …      If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory.        **************************

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you're doing okay Joyce.
Thanks for your wandering thoughts, etc. this morning.

JB1: I agree with you on buying clothes instead of toys. Although I go crazy when I see the toys, my niece and nephew have way toooo much. So I usually settle on buying them some clothes or something they need.

Mags: No news on the 'stalker' as yet. Went to the police station yesterday evening to see if the diary extract was ready but the investigating officer was not there. So I have to go back when she's there.

Dave: Congratulations on your job offers. This is great news.

Michele: I'm also sending good thoughts your way. Hope something works out for you to fix/replace the air-conditioner.

Karen: You've finish your Christmas shopping? I haven't started mines as yet. Hoping to start soon. I usually don't get time and I get caught up in the last minute rush the few days before Christmas. Hoping for this not to happen this year.

I've got my appointment with my therapist tomorrow. Can't wait since I'm have not been feeling up to par lately.

Wishing everyone a great day!

I don't know about y'all but I can stand this time change. I think that is part of the reason I am struggling- I haven't seen the sun! At 5:30 it is pitch black here!!!

UA, have a good session. And, hang in there.

Michele

Good afternoon, gang...

I'm making some chocolate chip cookies right now...want some?

Yes, Christmas is a tough time. It's really hard for us, because from January we start making more Christmas product for NEXT Christmas. By the time the holidays comes around I'm burned out, bah humbug.

Karen, no work on the computer right now. Must wait for any updates or improvements for a few more weeks.

Ooops..oven just 'beeped'...see y'all later

I must say, it is a beautiful day today. The sun is shining. I got to the laundromat. My friend helped me. Hard to believe it has become so hard for me to do things. I am fortunate to have a young friend who likes to help me... I do count my blessings.

I just cant' believe how nice it is. I was out without a coat. I thank the Lord for such a beautiful day. I can't say it enough. I feel so fortunate to feel good. I still have my "aches and pains", but mentally good.

Hugs to all!!!

Karen
