Mombie – a bit of everything

Found my other Xmas dress!

It turns out that it was in the ‘somewhere safe’ box that I thought it was in but I couldn’t find it in here because it was inside out.

I feel a bit foolish for not realizing that the white folded thing was my inside-out dress but, hey, at least I found it before Xmas!

Victory is mine.

Not a Christmas Spider

My sister makes cute beaded Christmas spiders – tree decorations- as gifts.

They came to mind yesterday as I walked out into the unusually warm weather (10 degrees Celsius) and happened upon this guy hanging by a web-thread from my mailbox.

He was spinning in the wind so I moved him to the porch railing.

Poor thing must be quite confused, this is supposed to be a rest time for spiders.

So this is a spider at Christmas time but it’s not a Christmas spider.

Beware of ‘Somewhere Safe’

I have two fun Christmas-themed dresses.

I wore one to a party last night and planned to wear the other to a party this evening.

Alas, it appears that my second dress has been put ‘somewhere safe.’

You know what that means, right?

Yep!

It could be anywhere at this point.

A good day!

Even though I didn’t have my ADHD meds today, I managed to schedule and complete a bunch of stuff without getting overwhelmed and without feeling rushed.

I love this feeling.

And, to be clear, this good feeling isn’t about getting stuff done, it’s about making a plan that worked. It’s about judging how long things would take and being right about it.

Yay!

My recroom is tidy!

Most of the chaos of my house ends up in the basement and recroom.

And we have somehow never managed to get the storage down there to be properly set up for the stuff we have. And that just adds to the chaos.

Today, my plan was to make a little progress on the recroom by moving a couple of things around but once I moved them, I could see what to do next.

And once I did that step, the next step appeared.

And by the end of the day, I had brought some order to the chaos.

Not complete order, there is still work to be done, but this level of order is liveable. I can keep this level of order and work on the rest of the chaos a little at a time.

I am absolutely delighted.
