I talked over the strangeness with my office-mate. She helped me figure out a plan of action.
We have our office Christmas party tomorrow. And my X heads out for his month vacation on the mainland. I am looking forward to having the house to myself for a month. It has been a long time since I have been completely on my own.
My plans are to get some Christmas decorations up, get my presents wrapped and mailed, and maybe start a new tradition and just set up a little tree with only "Me" ornaments on it. When I was decorating the tree last year it depressed me. So many of the ornaments are "US" and bought with certain thoughts in my head. I think I will buy some nice ornament storage boxes and sort the ornaments out into them. Not many will make the cut onto my "Me" tree.
It also makes me sad how little time I have now to craft. I used to work full time and still make stuff. I don't know where my time goes now.
On a funny note my son called me in a panic and said someone had stolen $100 from our joint account. They did this from a casino in Idaho. He wasn't amused when I said "OOPS!" My mom kept coming up with crazy last minute plans. And I had locked my trip cash in my room safe. I was only bringing out a little money at a time. And when we ended up at the casino the other night I pulled what I thought was my debit card out and took out money.
So for part of my lunch break I was on the computer putting money back in his account. I gave him a little bonus, the $25 I won at the casino..... He was trying to buy gloves. As all of you know it sure gets cold when those artic blasts come calling. He still likes Colorado, but the reality of cold weather is starting to sink in.
Aloha and stay warm!
