I'm sure that the new owner will appreciate it.

I actually like going to the Supermarket, sometimes meet friends and always go for a coffee afterwards. I make a list before I go and generally stick to it although sometimes I see new things to try. The worst thing is putting it away in the cupboards when I get home.  I guess when I was working full time I would have appreciated it. But that was over 10 years ago. I use to regularly go on Thursday evening because in those days supermarkets were closed on Sundays and I was too busy with washing and housework on Saturdays. They were only open on Thursday late now they are open from 7 or 8am to 10pm every day of the week. Only closed Christmas day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Anzac day morning.

I was never a person who enjoyed food shopping, so I was glad when I had a shop-at-home option.   As for our grocery store holiday hours, I think they only day they are closed is Christmas day.  Some may close on Thanksgiving as well.

Milk it for all it's worth. 

Oh, the misery of having a loving family and good friends who insist on showing how much they care about you! Hope you can steel yourself and make it through.   

   Well, I just got off the phone with the family, and scheduled the family gathering for the 19th, and got off the phone with some friends, and scheduled their party for the 20th.

Hiya BetterMost friends.

I'm hoping for a nice, quiet week this week at work.  There is an "off site" meeting in Boston for a number of the people (I'm not one of them) so people will start traveling tomorrow.  Most of the people will be out of the office Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (the day to travel back to home).  Some have already said they're working from home on Friday as well.



With everyone out of the office, I'm hoping this means I can work on my filing for 2018, and box it up and get it away.

Nice list.  What is it?

They're all women.

Sorry guys, I didn't realize the title of the article didn't get posted correctly.   Billboard celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Hot 100 chart by counting down the top 60 female artists.  I believe the list was compiled by combining number of hit singles, sales, airplay amounts and things like that.

I corrected my original post, so the title is there now.

My dreams lately have always had a point where I was looking down from a great height. I started to get tired of this happening, so whenever I was looking down and the ground starting retreating away from me, I would say to my dreaming self, "Oh come on, you don't have time for this!" and then a funny thing would happen. The scene would start to wobble and then zoom in and out and I would look away and then go on with my dream. Problem solved!

Well, that's good, finding the tree a new home.

I hate throwing away things that are perfectly good, just no longer of use to me. The tree was taking up valuable space (not "earning its keep") in storage, so it was time for it to go.

I agree, Epiphany is a good time to take it down. In fact, I leave some decor that is more wintery than Christmasy out all month.

I thought about doing that, except with the tree instead.

My Christmas train layout has an enormous Christmas tree in the center of town. I've been thinking of changing the layout to something more generic/not Christmas, but I thought yesterday that perhaps I'll just remove the tree and keep the layout "winter" for a bit longer.
