Breathing deeply

wake up and wonder if I will ever get enough rest. it was raining but the trash was coming and the yard was raked, but still not put in trash, took me over an hour to get everything raked up and filled four trash cans and put them by the curb.

order the boudoir calendar... Vendor website being stupid and will not load properly.

computer being stupid and constantly locking up. Wonder if my computer will survive the holiday before I have to completely format the hard drive.

The bulk of the day was going to the store to get the food for the Norwegian Christmas party. and cooking the food and creating all the kits for the two Tiger Den meeting activities.
