Re: Weekend Plans?
Friday- Gym night
Saturday- Snow storm! So just knocking around the house
Sunday- grocery shopping, gym, laundry
I have all next week off so I am looking forward to that. I need to finish up the little Xmas shopping that I have to do.
)
Saturday- errands, probably make cookies with the girls, dinner with DH's parents
Sunday- home day: clean, meal prep, laundry, relax
Not terribly exciting, but I think we all need some time at home together.
Friday - Currently at work, gym after work, and likely just hanging out at home this evening!
Saturday - Weather dependent I will be meeting my mom, sister, and dad for breakfast. I miss them, so I'm really hoping the roads aren't bad like they are calling for. Then I'll probably go thru stuff around the house and finally make a good will run (6 months in the making, eek). Possibly the gym or just workout at home.
Sunday - I'll probably grocery shop, meal prep for the week (I save so much money doing this), and probably finish Christmas wrapping. I'll be happy to have things done!
I'm looking forward to a lazy, quiet weekend!
Sat- watching our niece and nephew's basketball game and then going to Michigan to my parent's house. They were in a large pileup accident last weekend and are amazingly ok(ish) but very sore and bruised up. I will stay there through Christmas and help them so they can focus on resting. My boss is letting me work remotely next week! H will drive back home to work and then come back to MI for Christmas.
Sun- Driving my dad to see family an hour from his house. My cousin (his Goddaughter) is getting her new baby baptized and there will be lunch after.
The plan is laid out very well...as long as winter weather doesn't spoil it.
Saturday is more organzing, decluttering, and holiday prep. I have a wicked cold and feel like crap so my plan is to putter around and get stuff done without going on my usual crazy tear of "do all the things now!" Not being able to take cold medicine has really slowed me down as I'd normally hop myself up on some dayquil and power through for at least a few hours.
Sunday we have a puppy play date with our friends' new dog to make sure she likes our guy before we arrange to puppy sit at the end of the month.
Saturday - H has to go to a funeral tomorrow for a colleague's husband. I am going to stay home and address Christmas cards while he is at the funeral. Saturday afternoon we are going to start cleaning out the basement.
Sunday - Finish cleaning out the basement, wrap Christmas presents, get ready for next week!
Tomorrow - Play a wedding in the afternoon and double date in the evening while DD is at the grandparents for sleepover. I'm hoping we don't get much snow because I hate driving in it and I wouldn't except for this wedding - our last one for the year.
Sunday - It is supposed to be freezing!! I'm staying inside. The only way we will go out is if DH doesn't get a chance to see star wars with DD this afternoon. we will all go out and see it on Sunday. He's wanting to take her out of school early today to go see it but not sure if he has the time.
Sat - No real plans, it's supposed to be very very cold here (high of 5), so hoping to not have to do much, although I need to go grocery shopping, and I just found out my team at work exchanges gifts, so now I need to go go gift shopping... might just try to Amazon some of it.
Sun - No plans either, just doing stuff around the house.
Fri - didn't get much sleep last night and am just dragging today. I'm off work at noonish, but have errands to run. When what I really want to do is go straight home and nap. I'm planning to pick up some banh mis and Pho soup on the way home. It's a little goofball how excited I am with that plan, lol.
Call my insurance company. I got a letter in the mail. Apparently my flood insurance mailed me a check for $693...all the way back on Oct. 10th!!! And they were notifying me it wasn't cashed. Funny how I get all their other mail, but not my check. Super annoyed. And now I need to add dropping off my form about the missing check at their office today.
Sat. - My p/t pic job in the morning. Usually I go grocery shopping after that, but we're good and I don't need to. Score!
Sun. - Nothing but staying at home. Yay.
Mon. - Taking a vacation day! 3-day weekend. More doing nothing at home. The weather is supposed to turn extra chilly Sun. night and Monday. Good day to just be curled up with hot beverages.
Tomorrow- class at the gym then work party at my boss' house.
Sunday- class at the gym and we had plans to go to the German market, but it's supposed to be below zero and they're calling for snow, so we'll see how that plays out.
This year though I started December off with taking lots of supplements to prevent colds - multivitamin, vitamin C, echinacea, and maca root for energy. So far so good knock on wood - even with sick students still coming to lessons.
