Today I acquired many several things from marketplace for my new place. It was like a scavenger hunt. I found the most perfect cabinet for kitchen storage. And it was free!
Also took the steps necessary to enroll in the one pre req I need for a nursing program I’m applying to for September. It was literally down to the wire. One seat left in the class and I had to prove I had the pre requisite necessary for it. The online process is lengthy so I made the trek to my old college to get it done the old fashioned way.
Yet more organizing left to do. I can’t wait until my days off are actually relaxing….

— got all my Christmas packages delivered to my small circle of friends here at home (huzzah!).😇

— colored my hair roots with a mixture of Lanza’s wildflower coloring treatment in a 12v/12p mix with 40vol. 🧚🏻‍♂️

— going to get all of our laundry caught up, by sundown. 😎

— either today or tomorrow, hang out with my credit union membership relations manager and refinance my car. 🤩

...holiday prep!

Sometime before I go to bed I have to take a shower and wash my hair. Our family Christmas gathering is tomorrow, and if I wait until tomorrow to shower and wash my hair I will then be too tired to go to the party. Almost any kind of effort really wears me out these days. I have already picked out an outfit and accessories. All the presents are wrapped.

I made it to the dinner and had a great time. I did not fall down, I did not break down crying (not even when one of my gifts was a quilt with photos of all our beloved family members on it, including the dead ones). I made it home safely and climbed the stairs (Yay me!).
