As I look outside my window: Bright and sunny yet again and not too cold.
Right now I am: Prepping dinner in the crockpot and making brunch. I feel like I’m forever cooking and preparing food for the family. Possibly because I am.
On my bedside table: I just did a huge library return clearing out a ton of books that I have no interest in reading at the moment. I only kept the ones that are really piquing my interest. Mostly it’s some horror and dark romance. We’ll see where that goes for early January.
On my tv this week: Nothing really. A migraine earlier this week meant that I could not use my eyes so no television viewing. I did manage to watch two episodes of My Dearest Nemesis after recovering. Only one more episode to go!
Listening to: I’ve been alternating between Bad Omens and Stray Kids. Very different, but fulfill two different music needs.
On the menu for this week: I was trying to just eat out of the freezer and fridge. Not quite going to happen completely, but I did create some meals around those two areas.
Monday - Chicken Tikka Masala
Tuesday - Mississippi Pot Roast
Wednesday - Hot Dogs and Mac n Cheese (yes, I know it’s Christmas Eve)
Thursday - Appetizers all day!
Friday - Ring of Fire Chicken, Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, Dinner Rolls, Salad (our Christmas dinner celebration)
Saturday - Out with Mom
Sunday - Out with Mom
On my to do list: I need to finish prepping for my mom to come on Christmas. I got the guest room mostly squared away, just need to put the sheets on the bed. I need to finish picking up the downstairs and sweep and vacuum.
Happening this week:
Monday - Home Day (mostly cleaning probably)
Tuesday - Santa Visit at Cabela’s; Errands and Grocery Shopping
Wednesday - Home Day
Thursday - Home Day; Pick up Mom from aiport
Friday - Home Day
Saturday - Omaha Tourist Day with Mom, J, and kids
Sunday - Omaha Tourist Day with Mom
What I am creating: Mostly I’ve just been putting things away and organizing. I put away my craft stuff in favor of working on homeschool plans for the spring semester.
My simple pleasures: Being able to use my eyes (seriously that migraine was terrible), sleep, good stories
Looking around the house: Things are looking up.
From the camera: Sickness meant no pictures of anything
