The sun has come back out today and I'm going to get my hair trimmed. My hair's got where it won't curl won't stay straight just wants to stick straight out at weird angles. It won't flatten even with a curling iron. I have too much hair to wear a headband or I'd just push it back. I hope the hair lady can help me.
I've got to wrap a few gifts today and try to find some Christmas socks to take to Ginger's.

Good morning ! Yes, laundry does seem to multiply all by itself. Strangest phenomenon there is.
Sheri..my hair is lime that...I had my hairdresser cut it shorter last summer so I did not have to go back as quickly, and it would not lay right no matter what I did. So I gave been letting it grow out, which it is slow in doing. I have an appt. New Years Eve...but I may nit keep that one.

Good morning. I am so glad I can cut my own hair and others, like my son's.. And that my OCD daughter shops for me. Wednesday California registered over 52,000 new cases in one day. That is over 50% more than any other state ever for a single day. All of our hospitals are maxed out as are our Doctors and nurses. And we have had a state wide mask mandate for a long time. Nothing is open. Except grocers, drug stores and hospitals. And takeout food.

Bestofour, have you ever thought of a pixie cut?
I just crop at mine here and there...I really should go get it professionally cut some day though.

I thought of cutting my own hair,....but.I cannot reach the back.
I offered to trim up Rod's a bit, but he said nevermind he was going to let it grow until he felt safe to go to his beautician.

Oh, what do you do when you're bored, Sunny? I usually look for something creative to do. Or nap.

My hair is wavy in parts, curly in sections, and very curly in other sections so I try not to cut it myself. Sometimes I can't help it but then I regret it. The very front of my hair will part in the middle if I'm not careful and I have a cowlick at my right forehead. It can look very bad with just one cut. Looks like she's done a pretty good job. I'll know for sure one I sleep on it.
So far I've kept up covering the kitchen window boxes at night but I'm getting pretty sick of doing it. I almost forgot tonight. Want my big tree back.

Goodnight, Tina.
Sheri, I hope you continue to be happy with your hair cut. Sorry about the window box. I hope you work something out that makes you happy. Do you have an awning anywhere that you could take advantage of to help you protect the box ?
I am headed to bed. Sweet Dreams.

Tina, when I am bored I try to watch a movie. I can't sit still long enough any other time to watch from first to finish....I watched the remake of 'The Magnificent Seven', it was pretty good. I like western/country style movies.
DH is off today so there is lots of farm chores to catch up on. He sold all our horses this week and is moving around walls in the barn...we are losing our Equine vet services in our area so having animals that we have no way of treating if something goes wrong is not an option for him. They are going to a good home(in our neighboring province) so all is good. It is going to be strange not having any around though...farming will soon be a thing of the past, it is sad.

That is sad. No more cows or pigs, either? What is the barn to be used for now?

So sorry, Sunny. Perhaps you can increase the cattle ?? You have some right ??
Besides, while it is sad, it will mean less work right ? I
Christmas is next Friday, how did that happen ??

Tina, I still have cattle and will continue as long as I can. Junie, yes it is a lot less work.....it's just sad not to look out and see them. The money from the horse sale will get invested in more cattle if we can find what we like.

Yes, I understand it is sad Sunny.....Horses are beautiful ! Hopefully you will soon be looking out at the cattle and smiling in much the same way you used to look out at the horses.
I have been getting daily updates on 2 packages that I ordered on the 11 th. Gifts were mailed out on the 12 th and were slated to be delivered the 14 th. Not delivered yet.... I guess I should he happy they are keeping me informed, huh ?

GB arrives today and will spend a week here while DD works her shifts and she'll be here Christmas Eve afternoon and for Christmas...he is so excited. Then we get to do it all again next week. Not having any day care available for the Christmas break is going to be hard for a lot of people working....DD already can only work the hours that GB is in school.

Good early morning. I think I will go back to bed for a bit. A lost kitten had us up early by crying for it's family. It was found by daddy cat and is safe now. It won't be losing sight of mamma so soon now. Or vice versa. Day care is hard on all parents, Sunny. I would love to see more options around post pandemic. Employment based with emphasizing CARE. It would go a long way towards growth in restructuring economies. And be an economic boon by itself.

Yes Tina, the day cares are so expensive that most single moms are better off home on welfare financially...that is just sad.
I am glad that baby is back with its momma.

So sorry for daycare costs. That does not make any sense at all. It is just not right.
5 days 'til Christmas...
I will say goodnight now..sweet dreams.

4 days until Christmas now Junie.
We are going to get bad weather the day of here, and they are still not sure if it will be snow, freezing rain or rain. I am thinking of having our big meal Christmas Eve night if the forecast does not change....that way DH can be home for it. He will have to work all Christmas Day if we get bad weather.

Yea, that is a good idea...snacking around Christmas Day would be easier anyway. You could make it so everyone would be able to microwave leftovers. and there will be desserts, so you will be golden. We are eating some beef and baked potatoes Christmas day. I think Chili on Christmas Eve...but I have no idea what I will make for my nice meal when Valarie and her crew come over..that should be nice, or at least lots.

Tina, fresh milk and fruit are always at the top of my list. Now they are calling for a heavy rain storm on Christmas Day here.

Yep, rain is preferable to snow/ice...It still has not learned to stay off of the roads and sidewalks...snow I mean. IMO ice can just stay away permanently. If we need moisture, it can rain...

I am sorry, Sunny. If I could, I'd take that rain off your hands (or head?) . I'd rather that you could take it off my roof. That's my plan for today, my mother took the kids late last night so that I can tackle the roof shoveling this morning. Snow on the roof and heavy rain does not mix.

The roofs are done, the snow is moved and the house is cleaned and mopped...I convinced my mother to keep the kids until supper time Did you do a curbside pick up instead Junie?

Glad you got your roof shoveled and your housework done, Sunny.
I got my mopping and vacuuming done....
I do not think this store has curbside pick up, Sunny.
It is a hardware/deli/kwiki mart/ mini walmart kind of store. But no curbside pick up.
Tomorrow is my Wal-Mart grocery pick up. We will do that after we go to the MK supply.
