Good Morning. I actually wrote this post last night, Sunday when it was still 8 days before Christmas! All your Christmas shopping done? All the food stocked & in the cupboards? Me, not so much, the previous week was one of many unexpected things.
I'm writing a memo to the manufacturer of our washing machine & topping that memo is why isn't there an online manual? Mr Man spent most of Saturday repairing it; a drive belt had slipped off the fly wheel thingy. It's all good now & I have done several loads of laundry - yeah! I don't jest, often on my gratitude list is thanks for my own washer & dryer, along with having a very handy husband!
The other very annoying thing that happened, was my point & shoot camera took it's final beating & broke. Thankfully the card inside was retrievable. Mr Man was once again to the repair rescue & it's all put back together & functioning. I've let Santa know that a new pocket point & shoot is now on the top of my list. I like this one: (photo from Nikon's web site).

I think this is my new favourite quote/sign:
I shall be working every day at the clinic this week, not what I had planned but once again not much goes according to plan. I need to do some serious thinking about my own continuation at this place! I'll say no more for now for fear of being put on the naughty list!
So while I may not be totally prepared for Christmas with things & food, I am most prepared in my heart & mind - bring it on.
I will not be posting this week in Take Three Thursday as work & final Christmas prep is going to be taking any & all of my spare time & I'll not be posting next Monday as it is Christmas day. So I want to take this moment to wish you all the Happiest & Merriest of Christmas - may it be exactly as you hoped it would be.

Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Man! I hope it is a relaxing and wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen. I hope that you & Tracy along with your families have a wonderful Christmas.
DeleteI wish you and Mr Man a very lovely Christmas and a marvellous 2018!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth. Wishing you & yours a happy Christmas & all the joys 2018 can bring.
DeleteMr Man is a handy man to have around! What a blessing that would be. We have to hire all our repairs done, as my husband just doesn't have that know-how. Being prepared in heart and mind is true preparation in my book :)
ReplyDeleteMr Man mostly enjoys fixing things, didn't know how handy he'd be when we met! Happy Christmas.
DeleteYes, I too envy you Mr Man's skills - what a boon!
ReplyDeleteIf you are beginning your hibernation period now, I too will add my Christmas greetings to the above! Enjoy yourself, Mary-Lou!
Thanks Lady Ella - Oh if only it was hibernation! It is proving to be a bit too hectic right now & I don't like everyone else's dis-organization falling into my lap! I need to have a deep discussion with myself before 2018 rolls in & over me! Happy Christmas.
DeleteI don't know what that place would do without you! Don't let them take advantage of your good nature!
ReplyDeleteYour Mr Man sounds like a very useful person to have around, we have to rely on paying an 'expert' to come in and fix things here. Wishing you both a very happy Christmas x
Thanks Deb although I do believe we are all replaceable in our jobs ... although I think a few things where I work would fall threw the cracks. I am working on my exit plan. Happy Christmas to you & yours.
