Especially one that stands upright wearing a hat and one shoe!
Today [Saturday 12-21] is Don't Make Your Bed Day! Tomorrow [Sunday 12-22] is Short Person Day!
Haha! Do you all make your beds? I tend to leave it messy. Maybe married people are probably more likely to make their beds?
As a married person,I don't think that's the issue.

I make the beds. I feel like the room is tidy and looks larger when the bed is made. If it’s not made, I feel a little stressed or anxious for some reason.
When I was married, I used to make the bed. Now that I am not married, I only do it when it is very messy-I can't sleep in messy sheets.
Married..and I will make the bed, though my wife doesn’t like how I do it. I defer to her in this case.
Christmas has come and gone, hope everyone had a nice time. Now get ready for New Year's Eve, and be safe.
I am actually going to a friend's house for a little New Years celebration this year, it's supposed to be pretty frigid out so, will have to plan accordingly.
My birthday is New Years Eve and it's a major one so I'm sure there will be a celebration of some sort.
Christmas was nice. I got to see my brother and his husband and the BIL's mom on Christmas Eve, then just the guys and I for Christmas. Home cooked food, faux coquito to drink, dominoes.Back to work now... :-( BUT we get Wednesday off! I take it many of you do as well.
Hubby’s birthday is New Year’s Day. Each year the birthday person in our family gets to pick a restaurant to go to. He always gets screwed because most restaurants are closed, LOL. So I called and the restaurant he picked is closed, so we are going out tonight.

Thank you!
After a seemingly small decision was made at work, I suddenly:A) found myself so full of energy that I managed over the weekend to haul heavy object through the snow into my house after putting it off when the weather was better and the sidewalk easier to traverse;
B) had an idea about how to fix something small but important in my house and actually managed to repair it on the first try;
C) found the wherewithal to do some of my most-hated, most-postponed household chores;
D) finished reading two books in 2 days;
E) came up with ideas for 2 blog entries AND POSTED THEM;
F) did some very important mop-up work regarding how to get very important data collection done by the agency, even though the website is down, and even though nobody told me to solve this problem;
G) created and collected all the materials for a training I am giving in a few days, that I volunteered for rather suddenly on short notice;
H) ...and so on and so forth, including baking a double batch of cookies that are usually too many steps for me to bother with.
I had no idea just how tired I was before, and I sure had no idea why.
Did those things have anything to do with the decision at work? Does this feel like a permanent new you or are you riding the high energy wave while it lasts? :-P
I am exhausted reading that post ! :) Not much going on here. We had crazy warm weather, in the positive 40's (January 4th it was minus 40) .
The kittens got neutered last week. They are 6 months old. My mom has described them : Karl is the Cheetah, Jaguar and Geoff is a lion.
Just returned from Mexico and came back to 14 degree weather and snow. Is it fair to be mad about this?? haha darn midwest weather
I finally bearded a mystery in its lair yesterday. The weird gurgling in the downstairs powder room, which always stopped as soon as I approached to investigate, has proven at last to be a leaky something-or-other in the toilet. My plumber says the part will take half an hour to replace and costs $12.

It was the work decision. My supervisor, who has been quietly driving me crazy for a long time, rather suddenly suggested that I change to the other supervisor on the team. I felt my heart lift off the floor for the first time in a long time. I thought I was struggling with work burnout, but I realize now I am struggling with HER work burnout and total ineffectiveness that -- for over a year -- has made me feel as if I were the one supervising her. If I never have to hear another word about one of her bowel movements again it will be MUCH too soon.
Good for you Fishface,so maybe things are looking up for you!
Haha! Well, in that case congratulations on less hearing about her bms.
Fishface, I'm so glad you found the "cure" for you lack of energy. Begone, supervisor!

A bad or good manager/supervisor can definitely make a huge difference in your work environment, so glad that decision was made and things are better!!

Craziness. Yesterday and the day before here (MI) was single digits. When I woke up this morning, it was -3F, it's finally 14F now. But it feels like -7 so IDK if it's really 14 haha.

Yeah! Imagine deciding to go to Florida, to get away from the cold/snow, just to end up being in more cold and snow.
