Countdown to 2021 at 2 and counting!

 TERRY

As I write at 8:15 in the morning Terry is at least half finished with the paper.  There was a bit of work to do at 4:00 AM this morning as I had fallen asleep maybe at 9:00 and she did not wake me for any of her needs.  So there was changing of some bedding but it did not take long.  I tried to sleep after that and maybe I did for a short time but was up by 5:00 for the day.  Terry has nothing today and then WT tomorrow at 9:00 AM.  I tried to get it changed to the PM but they are closing at noon for New Years Eve. So I will get a rest from tennis for the day as I was scheduled to play at 9:00.  

Sonia, the in home care person, is here from 8:00-10:00 today which is different from her usual 10:00-12:00.  I was a bit lazy as I just left the soiled bedding for her to wash rather than do it myself when I got out of bed.  It is working well in my opinion with having her only for 2 hours a day.  She is kept pretty busy during that time and of course it reduces the expense to some degree as well.  

I feel like I am not keeping up with all that needs to be done around here.  In the middle of doctor appointments, fixing meals, keeping up with bills etc and the list goes on and on I often find myself trying to catch up rather than keep up!  It does not seem like it should be a big deal but almost on a daily bases it is.  Maybe I need to change something but at this time I am not sure what!

I do know one thing for sure.  January 2nd the cards need to be put away.  The HUGE tree needs to be put away and lastly the wreaths on the garage need to be stored.  I really enjoy the Advent season but for sure it needs to come to a close as we embark on January and the new year.  

I have not thought about a meal for New Years Eve or New Years Day.  Maybe it will need to be leftovers which is not a bad idea.  No cook stove to fry potatoes but that is not even important as there is no big table to play table tennis on or no Dave to play with!!!  Having said all that I expect Terry to get well in 2021 and for life to some degree become normal again.  Of course I always have high hopes and sometimes that is good and sometimes not so much!

No, here it is 25 minutes to tennis time so time to sign off and get dressed.  I sipped the last of the FP so the day should go well!
