How's YOUR New Year Going?

 

Happy Birthday Beautiful!

 Today is my moms birthday.  She is 90 today and still just as awesome as ever.  We had a big party planned for her but she went and got Covid.... So we have postponed it until the 16th.  I got her a kindle and can't wait to give it to her.  She will LOVE it.  (I hope)

Annoying Interruptions: My Morning Battle with Dennis

As I was getting ready for work this morning, Dennis was constantly bothering me. It wasn't anything major, just little things that were driving me crazy.

To retreat from the annoyance, I took solace in my amazing earbuds equipped with noise cancellation. I turned on a TV show I had been watching, thinking I could finally have some peace while preparing for the day. Nope! Dennis  ignored my daily routine and chose that exact moment to strike up a conversation.

And the worst part? He had absolutely nothing interesting to say.

Today, he decided to show me the difference in water pressure on his side of the sink. 

*Sigh* 

So, I kept taking my earbuds in and out, trying to hear him out despite his lack of captivating content.

Finally, after many failed attempts, I angrily removed my earbuds and snapped, "WHAT?!?"

Dennis seemed all butt hurt and huffed, "Nevermind!"

I thought I might be in the clear to finish, but then, just a few minutes later, he extended the electric razor towards me, asking me to trim the back of his neck. As soon as I reached out to grab it, he pulled away, saying, "Well, maybe now isn't the best time. I'll wait until you're no longer aggravated with me!"

Smart man.

I Can't Keep Up!

 Starting a new year can be extremely challenging for those who are self-employed. With all the festivities and obligations taking place in December, important end-of-year tasks often get neglected. And as if that's not enough, we also have to juggle the usual monthly responsibilities along with the year-end tasks. It feels like a never-ending cycle! I'm hoping to complete everything within a week, but I'm not very optimistic about that. Maybe I should invest in a cloning machine to make things easier for myself.

Sad Good-bye

My day was filled with storing away my Christmas decorations. It's always a little bittersweet when I have to put away my beautiful trees. This year, though, I really didn't want to take them down. They were perfectly placed and added such a lovely glow to different parts of my home. There was a tree in the entryway, dining room, and even our bedroom. Every corner had a festive touch! The only upside to putting everything away is the extra cleaning that comes with it.
