Holidays were very good
  • hung out with family and their dogs
  • we did a puzzle that friend of a friend of my SIL made of their painting - it was very good and difficult
  • had friends visit on their way south, they brought their dogs
  • played a random series of games - exploding kittens, oh hell (family fav), some kind of game about guessing on a scale, ransom notes, some kind of imposter game. most party games aren't to my taste, but I did like exploding kittens
  • new years day family party which was nice
  • I pulled all my stash out organized it and it is mostly put away
  • I made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and they were so good
  • I made tacos for the friends that stopped by and it was good 
  • went for many walks - christmas day with the cousins, twice with sibs and the dogs, friends around the farm
  • I brought some furniture, my CPW and the two extra boxes of yarn stash that I didn't know I had from the shed and am now more optimized for crafting and can watch tv on the big screen while I do it
  • finished upstairs bathroom floor - drywall next
  • started journaling my feelings in a little physical notebook
  • made a dr appointment for next week
  • my brother bought me anno 1800 - time sink it's very good if confusing
  • my brother and SIL came overnight because they realized their ski lesson place was closer to here and so brought their dogs for two days and I got to hang out with the dogs which was very good
today, I spread two loads of straw - person spreading counts as the one putting the bales in the shredder, not the driver. driver has easy job. we go 1.5mph and a bale goes 50 ft or so. the cart behind the shredder holds 50 bales or so. I'll try and have my mom get a video, it's very fun and decently difficult farm task. then I finishing sanding my parents office at their house. I was supposed to run for groceries and supplies from hardware store but after straw and sanding I am tired and don't want to. Might do that and baking tomorrow. 

I am attempting to motivate my parents on their renovation by just simply doing parts of it for them. this is working okay so far. I need to pick up a spackle bucket. not a bucket of spackle but something for holding the spackle because my dad used it for floor patch in the rental and it apparently because extremely solid in the container. spackling and sanding is next for them and as soon as I get my drywall pieces up in the upstairs bathroom, I will be spackling and sanding. 

In theory my parents are moving their bedroom over this week, the reality is that my dad went to urgent care today to get something with his jaw looked at. I have been working with an attorney on business stuff. there's a lot going on and I'm very tired right this minute so I might get my heated blanket and take a nap in my comfy chair and then crafting tonight, can't wait for more crafting
