What's on your agenda for today?

aw Geez.... so I'm wrapping the GKs presents... and doing a count... come to find out... I need two more presents so it will all be even... Too much wine to go out tonight.. WIll have to hit Toys R Us tomorrow morning..
 
Easiest Xmas shopping I ever had. Mailed a cheque to my son before we left for Thailand for him to get a family gift or separate gifts if they wanted - 5 of them. They got a family gift.

Mostly sunny here so will be about 30c/86f. Sunscreen.

Play it by ear.

Had an incredible dinner last night which had prawn soup in a coconut, sea bass, chicken and cashews, and duck. Also rice dishes and lots of veg and nice Thai sauces. Taking our friend and his wife there for his 65th birthday late in January which will include a boat trip first.
 

Aw. Hope you feel better soon, Georgia Lady. In this household, DSIL is down with the flu. Works in a very busy, very public setting and didn't get a flu shot. I realize that it's only 50% effective, but geez! DD hasn't had it, either. I don't know about the g'kids but probably not.

As for me? Flu shot and a lot of hand washing! I refuse to be sick because I can't afford to be sick.
 
Good morning, Carolyn, and all.....I'm still spoofing up the house, dusting places that have not been dusted since last Christmas and cleaning out the fridge, getting it ready for all those leftovers.

Everyone have a great day!
 
Just starting with my cup of tea. Plan to do a bit more baking and going out to visit a friend later. Sunny and bright today.
 
I will be playing Petanque at 11 AM today despite the heavy fog and then spending the rest of the day and evening testing new hearing aids that must be turned in tomorrow if I don't want them (and I don't). They will cost $7,400 for the pair if I were to keep them and my present hearing aids that are supplied by the VA free to me work just as well, but I had to see if there was something that would help me hear better.
 
I have spent most of the morning cooking and putting things up out of the reach of 17 month and 6 month old grandsons who are traveling from NSW today with their parents to spend Christmas with us, it's a long trip 500km so they will be all tired when they get here
 
Every Christmas it seemed like someone in the family was sick. One of my grandson's was carrying his plate and threw up. Luckily it all landed on his plate, poor kid. His Mom made a pallet for him and we went right on with the Christmas party.
 
It's going to be a tough three days, and I'll be glad when it's over. I get tired thinking about it so I try not to think about it and just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Darned kitty was sick on my bed last night:( Fortunately, it was on "his" side of the bed.
 
pick up dry cleaning, put wood in the basement, a few other minor chores......already read six comic books and had three cups of coffee...now I gotta .......
 
Today I will clean the patio, maybe it will be warm enough for some to be outside Christmas. my house is small and it gets to be crowded. Bella gets a bath today too.
 
Coffee, then laundry and later go out for a bit more shopping. In spite of low key xmas this year, there's still lots to do.
 
Goal for today to make myself useful, signing up with a new meetup volunteer group to make and distribute, legally, meals to the homeless. One of my favorite things to do is be part of a group that does something for other than self, though a side effect is that it does indeed aid in causing one's self to feel good over all in the long run. :D
 
April, I have done for others all of my life and enjoyed it, now that I am a widow, I do for me. I would love to volunteer in a children's home and asked about it once and all they needed was someone with organizational skills.

I've always done volunteer work, I was just happy to find a new meetup group that does so in this area. This wasn't a declaration on those that don't, it was just a what's on your agenda for today of what I'm doing for today, other days, I'm doing for me they don't have to be inclusive or exclusive. I just happen to have always gotten as much out of doing for others just as I do out of finding pleasures in doing for myself, don't have to deny one for the other. We can do both one or neither without judging on here, I hope.
 
What happened her April, what did I say wrong? I don't see a thing that should upset you. Who's judging?
