| We were rather ill and my clean up project got slowed down. I was determined to add some "pretty" among the stuff, anyway. |
 |
| So, even though I wanted to have it look nicer, in here, I'm satisfied, on most levels. We had a nice day. Some things looked nice. We had a simple meal and some nice treats - not as many as I sometimes have made. I think we all were relaxed and had a nice time. Good enough! Happy Christmas! |

| on the good parts. The tree. |
 |
| The table. |
 |
| And not the stacks... |
 |
| ... and stacks... |
 |
| ... of things that are not getting done. I'm less miserable, anyway. I will get them done. Rome wasn't built in a day. Slow and steady wins the race. ok, then... |
 |
| This is how my living room looks, now. Well, right now my sister is sitting in that chair, as we both do some catching up online, so it actually looks much better than this. My sisters (I have three) brighten up any room. Anyway, I want it all done! Right now! I'm laughing at myself. I have been having a period of physical discomfort, family has been around (yippee) at my Dad's, next door and Oneson and my DH have been passing a nasty little cold around. These are not good enough excuses for my impatient self. I still want more on the tree and less on the floor! |
 |
| This is Thanksgiving Day. I think progress has been made. I have to see the glass as half full -- and the living room as half empty! Now, I am really amusing myself. |
 |
| My new motto: Not perfection; progress! or Progress, not perfection! So, not only did I affix a pair of skates and some greenery to the front door (which needs sprucing up) Ouch! Pun not intended! I also put a couple of cloths on the table (although the dishes are not all done) and hung the seasonal curtains in the bathroom. |
