Every day is still a day to celebrate the season! I have gotten a few things accomplished lately and could realistically be ready for Christmas any time now.
We packaged up a few things for son Dan and family.Ā Dan sent it out for three day delivery on Monday and Amanda let me know they got it yesterday. (Way to go Canada Post!)
I received the last of the Christmas gifts that I had ordered for Dan and the birthday gift that I had ordered for granddaughter Genie.Ā Dan drove me to ‘Chocolate Regina’ to pick up a small box of gourmet chocolates and we stopped by a the recently renovated restaurant at Casino Regina for lunch. The food and the restaurant were both very nice but the rest of the renovations left a lot to be desired in my mind. I am not a fan of clutter and chaos and that seems to be what they were going for.
I have done a bit more cleaning up and decorating around the house. I love this little candle and these placemats that I picked up from The Dollar Store.
I also ran to Walmart to pick up a few last minute things while Dan was at work yesterday. Their Christmas displays are running a bit low but they brightened the place up by adding shelves of Valentine’s chocolates and Easter bunnies. That is not too wierd. Who buys Easter bunnies in December? š°
Today I am going to try to get a bit of baking done and wrap the rest of the gifts.
That is it for today. Take care and have a great day!š

I hope that you are feeling better, Annmarie, and Christmas is almost here! I hit 61 years young yesterday, blah!

Happy birthday, John! I am coming along but now these new meds the doc gave me are giving me insomnia. I do not function well on a lack of sleep. š“

That is good! (About you feeling the same – not so much about going nutty).

I had to send my stuff early last week. The US postal service has gone to h*** recently and has stopped guaranteeing speedy service. Hard to send a package email though!

This is true! I cannot believe that Canada Post got that parcel to Lloyd in one day – and to a Shoppers for pickup to boot. I should have had a shipped out early last week but wasn’t on my A game.
