I went out today to the Humane Society event at the Pet Smart across the street to see if they had a doggie for me.   They didn't but took my number and my needs .   I actually got a text from them but somebody already beat me to her.

Bart went with me and we also went to the Lawton Animal Shelter.   THey did not have any either and I embarrassed myself by tripping on their drainage system and falling.   Had to fill out an accident report and everything.    I am really OK.    I think I learned from my mother how to fall:)

Spent the rest of the day working on Christmas.   I should finish the out of state stuff by Monday morning.   Yea!!!!

Everybody can relax.    I spent the day making the Peanut Butter Buckeyes.   Whew  I was told years ago that if we don't have Buckeyes, why do we have Christmas.  

I was home all day.    Sure is lonely without Critters.    Tomorrow I am going to Pet Smart with Bart to check out the animals that the Humane Society is bringing to highlight.    Hope I am lucky.   I will get one through a shelter as Dick always said - If you get an animal, save a life.

I am ready, he or she will save my life or at least make it better.

A busy day.

The plumber came out today to check my plumbing which has been ac ting up again.    There are a couple of things I can to to help the problem which I will put in place immediately.    Part of the problem is that I back up to an apartment complex.    But this should still not be happening.   I have found things myself which do help.

This afternoon I took my car to the dealer for diagnosis because my engine light was on.    I do have a policy to cover some maintenance and it will help.  They should have the parts needed by Monday.   I CAN drive the car as long as I keep checking the temperature.    Fortunately, I do not drive far and the car, in this cooler weather does not heat up too much.

I will stay home even more because of this and work on making candy and preparing packages for mailing for Christmas and of course,  writing out my Christmas Cards.

Glad I have things to do.   I miss my critters so.   Tomorrow the Humane Society is having critters at the Pet Smart across the street and I will go to get the feel of things.   Maybe I'll get lucky.

Was a busy day.

Bible Study at 10AM.     Haircut at 1PM followed by a stop at the car dealer because my engine light is on.    They will diagnose tomorrow afternoon.    On the way home the skid light came on too so I am inclined to think it is electrical.

On the way home I filled up my tank.

Then I finished the afternoon by making a batch of fudge.   Just have Buckeyes and Hello Dollies to make before I pack up Christmas Boxes.     I should be done by mid next week.

Hope all is well

I was home all day today until this evening when I went to church for the Advent Penance service.   We have a service and follow it with confession.    I like that because it gets you ready for the sacrament.

I worked on some sewing projects and sorted and clustered all my baking things as I will start making candy this weekend.   I finally have everything I need.

Tomorrow is Bible Study and I get a haircut in the afternoon.

Saw some footage of Wisconsin.   Lots of snow.

A quiet day.   I finished shopping for the ingredients for the candy that I make for the family.    Will start that soon as it keeps and I have to get it there before Christmasn.
The weather was pleasant.    Not very warm but tolerable.    Little wind which helped and sunny.

Talked to Barbara, Bart and Marti so I have had conversations with the world and don't feel so along.   Sure miss my critters.    I will be going to the Humane Society this week sometime when they are open.    They were not open today.

Miss all of you

an't believe it is December already.     I am not nearly ready to DO Christmas and it is a short four weeks away.

Jim went home today shortly after noon.    We had a good few days.   Company for me and a bit of a vacation for him.      He is such a good man.    Another blessing that Dick gave to me.    I enjoyed having his doggies here too.     I miss my Nicky and now don't even have my Fluffy cat to attend to of an evening.      Poor things and poor me.   SO  I am going to look for a new furry friend this week.
My Christmas present to myself.

Should be a comparatively quiet week coming up so I should be able to make a dent in Christmas.
