Ordered this years Christmas ornaments nice and early!

I've ordered ornaments almost every year, from Bronners. We love looking at them each year, and remembering past Christmases. The kids can take theirs when they move out and get established. :)

@KazzyH A favorite of mine too! I have a sticker on my rear view mirror that says "The belladonna is in my bag" lol

@LSWellesley Oh yes. It's been the only lip balm I've used for a very, very long time. I have tubes of it every where! lol

They have changed the Burts Bees lip balm tube. The lids are rounded and are a thinner, more flexible plastic.

This displeases me greatly.

My husband takes 2 weeks off at Christmas every year.

This year, I'm mandating mandatory lock down for our house. The Girl Child can have her BoiFran over, but beyond that no one ever comes in and no one ever goes out.

I need it. I need more than 2 weeks of it, but I'll take what I can get.

I have felt like poop all day. 😀

Welp. It's a good thing I look good in red and cloaks are making a comeback.

*sigh*

Imma buy some books and not leave the house for the next 4 years.

I feel oddly calm about today. I dunno why. But I've forgotten more than once it's Election Day and I don't feel the need to like, camp out on the couch with MSNBC or CNN or something on to be constantly monitoring shit like I have the last 2 Elections.

Maybe I'll just lose myself in some Sims or CK3 today and let the chips fall where they may.....

Husband came home and informed me of a tree that was down across the driveway! Small. Dead. Not ours, but if we waited for the neighbor to deal with it, it'd never get done. So, chainsaw and gloves we went, to remove said tree in the dark! #pnw #wawx

Stormy day on deck for my neck of the woods! Happy to have it, happy to sit next to my fire while is rages, happy to have a good book to read while I watch!

Be safe out there! #PNW #WAWX

The anxiety do be anxiety-ing today. No panic attack but boy am I feeling fluttery. Blargh!

@TomeReader Yes, the cropping works. I totally forgot about that lil "rule" here. lol Glad to hear the book is good!! Looking forward to diving in!

@gemswinc I'm such an idiot. I forgot about that "rule" here. Lolol Thank you, that fixes it, yes! ❤️

Just started reading this. Its a big'un.

I hope it's good.

(My pics always post sideways, no matter how I take them or edit them, always sideways!!! ) #Books #Reading

@cassandra17lina I found it! Thank you very much! Just a quick Google and there was a "Track" button right there! :D Hasn't been picked up yet. lol

A quick Google and there was a button right there to check! Glad they've made it so easy! :D

I know there is a way to check and see if your ballot has been collected, but I don't know how to check...?

Ballot boxes were attacked here in WA and Oregon the other day, and now I am a little worried. I just dropped it yesterday, so I am sure it hasn't been picked up YET, but I'd like to keep checking until it does. #Vote

Just dropped off my ballot!

It's a little embarrassing to admit but at 42 years old, this is the first time I've ever voted. I never felt like I needed to before, or that my vote actually mattered. I do not feel that way now. #Voted

I think I have recovered from people-ing too hard on Saturday. Only took 48 hours and my husband staying home with me today. lol I've errands to run tomorrow, so it's nice to have my brain back to it's standard operating procedures.

My FIL also asked if I wanted any psychedelic mushrooms...lol I told my SIL "Your Dad keeps offering me drugs." She said "Yeah, welcome to the club." Lmao I really do love my in-laws!
