Maybe it's time to stop taking the pain killers while drinking. 😁

When the kids were little I used to put the tree up around December 20th, and left it up into January.  Now they make me put it up at the end of November, Sigh.

I have neighbors who have Christmas decorations on their windows every day of the year.

I’m a idiot. My mind is not with it today as I’m hurting. Going to be one of those days I think. I should go back to bed. Just got out of therapy and I’m exhausted and sore.

Feel better Greg.

Lol, hardly an idiot. My fingers and this phone keyboard are often at odds with each other. Throw autocorrect into the mix and I am often surprised to see what I have posted.

Well so far 2924 sucks! Dishwasher just went out. It was 12 years old but never run hard. We always pre washed. The fridge went out last year. Don’t make things like they used to.

 

I bought my Maytag washer & dryer in 2016. Basic models, with large dials to twist for various settings & temperatures.  I only use 3 of the 12 settings & still trying to figure out the difference between the "Cold" and "Tap Cold" temp settings.  But I really had no need for the more advanced models with push buttons & menus to scroll thru.

 

But I digress, the salesman told me that if they last longer than 10 years, I'm ahead of the game. I asked if I buy one of the higher end units, would they last longer?  He was honest & answered nope. All you are doing is buying extra features, not extra longevity. 

 

We are 8 years in. I'll let you know in 2-3 years if the are sill running. 🙂

Plus, I procrastinate. 🙂

That is my New Year's resolution, to stop procrastinating.  I am starting it next week. You should join me.

When I was real little, there were a few years where my parents didn't put up the tree until Dec 24th. Us kids would help, then go to bed only to be woken up in the middle of the night to find presents under the tree & we "just missed" seeing Santa. I was told this was an old German tradition (Mom was from Germany) but I'm pretty sure Dad just procrastinated & didn't buy the tree until the 23rd. Probably looking for a deal.😆

 

However, It was fun staying up all night opening presents & playing until we crashed just before sunrise. Going to church the next day was not fun.

 

Little did my parents realize they were creating a family of procrastinators & night owls. Or maybe they did. 😀

Not to worry. Between autocorrect and my finger I have more than my share of flubs.

Not to make any more excuses but I also wasn’t wearing my glasses when I did those two posts.

Still I need to proofread.

Appliances used to last a long time not any more. I’ve been told to not expect more than t10 years on major appliances. My parents refrigerator lasted over 25 years.

That’s how my German Uncle’s house always did it. Santa brought the tree and the gifts after dinner.

I know how that is.  I did not sleep well last night, went to therapy this morning and I to am exhausted.   I could hardly make it back to the car!  And now I have an eye appointment in an hour.   I am seeing double out of my right eye..... and no drinking!

My May cruise goes to Cocoa Cay.  What I was thinking for that day is to go to the Chill Island section.  We just want a chair in the shade, access to food, drink, bathrooms and maybe some snorkeling.  Does this sound like the right area for that?

I probably have the most typo's & grammar errors of anyone. No excuse, just lazy, don't proofread & sometimes don't even pay attention if I have the TV on or get interrupted mid-post.

 

Sometimes I'm embarrassed when I see my own mistakes long after it's too late to correct. Then again, sometimes it's fun to see if people can figure out what I meant.

 

I subscribe to the "It was hard to write so it should be hard to read" theory.

You could always get a cabana at the Coco Beach Club. They are listed in my cruise planner for Odyssey in February for $2899.... as if that is going to happen.

My New Year Resolution was to stop making New Years Resolutions, which I guess I broke right away.   I wonder if that'll get me into the Guinness Book of World Records for fastest breaking of NY Resolutions.

I rush things and don’t take my time to proofread.

I was going to make a resolution to stop bad habits but then I thought,  Nobody likes a quitter!
