I tried to play catch up today, but I’m afraid I didn’t get very far. When Heather, Jonah, and Ollie moved in two weeks ago, I stuffed all my current paperwork in a box and forgot about it. Today I pulled that box out and tried to go through everything to see if there were things that needed to be dealt with immediately. I found only one thing, did that, and moved on to the next job. That was tracking all of the packages that I have sent to Puerto Rico. It is easy to track the Amazon packages, but the Post Office packages were more difficult because I couldn’t find some of the tracking slips. I checked with Jo and it seems most things have arrived with one more package that arrived late this afternoon. She will go to the PO tomorrow to pick that up and that will have to do. I know there is at least one more package that is not supposed to arrived until Wednesday, but that one might have to wait until after Christmas Day. I then spent time trying to track down a package that should have arrived at Heather and Jed’s two weeks ago. I cannot get the company to get back to me. But I have an email that says it shipped and they charged my account. Hopefully it arrives in the next two days. And there is one other package that is on the way, but not here yet. At least I now know what is here and what is not. The next task was cooking. There was a lot of food in the refrigerator that needed to be used. I made Shepherd’s Pie, cooked kale, blanched broccoli and cauliflower that I will use tomorrow. And then tomorrow is trash, compost, and recycling day, so I got everything out to the street for pick up.
Shadow and I were up early this morning, so I think I should get to bed so I can start fresh tomorrow morning. I hope to spend the day wrapping presents and making sure I have all the groceries I need for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Meals on those days will be at Heather and Jed’s, but I will be making contributions. Wednesday night they are coming here for artichokes.
