Greetings all
Another sunny day here. Scrable was great - won two of three and defeated The Shark. All good. I made a quick stop at a grocery I pass on the way for a sandwich and a few things. Then I did some studio time and glazing. When I left the place the staff had tape measures and is apparently yet again reconfiguring the space. Oh well. We had great holiday sales there as well as at the gallery.
Not much planned here. We have leftover chicken and pasta from last night and clean laundry to fold. The neighborhood is clearing out a bit - on Christmas our street was completely packed with cars. We must be the christmas destination. And the giant snow man is gone.
So everyone is home safe but a few of you have colds. Bummer. Again, zinc lozenges. Used to be there was only zicam which tastes like crap but now there are better ones. This most recent cold I had turned out to be not the worst I have had so I feel lucky. I do credit the zinc plus pseudoephedrine or whatever that stuff is.
Paula by all means stay home and nap. And have soup.
More guests Liz! You astonish me.
Yay DD for Planet Fitness.
I found an envelope of cash that is gallery money that I forgot to deposit. Geez, where is my brain? I will get it in tomorrow with the last of the year stuff. I did get some taxes paid but have some more work to do. Ho hum.
We started the second season of Nobody Wants This. DH loves it. Lots of football for the next few days so I don't have to deflect the exploding aliens. I often search out netflix series and get them on our want list so that DH will not end up with exploding aliens by default.

Like CC, I caught a bug too. Sinus pressure, sore throat, fatigue and low grade fever today. I already took a 2 hour nap and feel like I could go back to bed.
We tried to take a walk but between the biting wind and me feeling like crap, we only made it down our street and back.
Liz, glad you get a little break before the next visitor arrives. Stay warm!
CC, hope you feel better soon. Glad to hear your Dad feels good enough to possibly take a trip to see you!
DD, enjoy the solitude in your house right now and have a great workout!
I think I'm going to drink some tea, take a bath, and go to bed early!
Ugh! i had influenza A once, and it was so awful. I never miss a flu shot now. I've still had the flu even with the immunization, but it was never as severe as that first time.
We have 8 days after these guests until DS arrives. Not a lot of downtime but I will take it.
DD's BF does sound like a real keeper! Nice that both your children have found great people to be with.

Feel better soon! DS went to urgent care today and tested positive for Flu A - a lot of stuff going around.

I think I caught a bug on one of my flights. I'm very achey and headacheY with a scratchy throat. Sigh. I really tried not to touch my face, but I must have failed at some point. Tonight I was supposed to go out to dinner with friends at Elote (probably the best restaurant here), but I am skipping. They will take the reservations as they are very hard to come by!
So I'm taking Advil and hanging out on the couch today. Hope everyone else has a great day!
Welcome back. I wish the warm weather could have stayed around a little longer for you and Paula. I spent one NYE in Florida years ago, and we were at a beach restaurant, sitting in adirondack chairs on the sand by a fire, drinking something fruity while wearing light jackets. Doesn't sound like that could happen this year. Once your guests leave do you have some down time?
Today is the first day I hae been alone in the house for a week. Although I absolutely LOVE having my kids here, I am enjoying the quiet. I'm wearing my workout clothes and will leave for Planet Fitness shortly. And I'm eating some eggs, instead of starting my day with a latte (protein forward with a cup of milk) and 2 cookies (not protein forward, but delicious). I sent the last of the cookies home with DD to share with her beau. Did I mention he sent us a beautiful bouquet of Christmas flowers? Sweetheart.
Today is all about washing sheets, resetting the guest rooms and packing. It will feel very good to get started on that.
