We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference. --Nelson Mandela

 
 
Hope you all have your preparations under control for tomorrow!
Team Gail and the Zombie Apocolypse comes to mind again this past week!
Kalen's home, I'll ask him about it!
 
I was on 'Special Projects' at work last Friday, and took my friend Buster to the vet in Grimshaw.
He's been limping.
He has a rapidly progressing bone cancer.
I said, "I'm going to text them that, cause I doubt I can spit it out without bawling".
The vet started crying! AND her assistant!
I said, "You're not helping"!
Buster has a whole whack of pain killers;  I'm not sure they're working!
 
One of our friends sister had a baby last Thursday, and had to be flown to Edmonton.
He left in a hurry to pick up his mom, and they drove down.
He's the guy with 2 dogs & 2 cats in the house, and is not a great house keeper!
I went over there 3-4 times on the weekend since Friday.
I finished his dishes on Sunday!
Everything's put away, he'll either have to phone me, or look for stuff!
I'm on about load 30 for the laundry.
I'm only doing the stuff on the laundry room floor!
Last night Kalen & I got an accordian file folder, and will organize his mail sitting around.
I've only cleaned up his kitchen............
If he's gone another 2-3 days, I'll have the laundry under control!
I also made a To-Do list........
Vanessa laughed when she saw it on his fridge!
 
2 other friends are away for Christmas, and I'm feeding the cats & outside birds....
good thing they live across the street from each other!
 
Did I mention it's been -30 below for the last couple weeks!?
Shadow slept in the entry for a week!
Even though she has a cosy house & heated bed!
It's a balmy -2 right now!
 
Avon came yesterday, Kalen & I delivered most of it last night.
Vanessa met us downtown & took some!
The rest will be delivered this morning!
 
I couldn't get into my email this morning!
Had to change my password!
 
Kalen should be home this morning, he was out with friends last night and the night before.
He's in charge of the hors d'oeuvres for this afternoon; we're getting company!
Vanessa had to go to work this morning.
I decided I'm not!
Our payroll cut off is tomorrow, Christmas Day.
The guys will text me when all the time is in, and I'll go in Friday or Saturday and just do that!
 
The turkey is brining.
I'll do up the potatoes, yams, dessert & cranberries today.
I think Ray's sisters & families might be over to dine with us tomorrow.
(They're so last minute! I just cook!)
Thursday we're going to have a sleep over with some friends in Joussard!
 
Have a wonderful Christmas with loved ones, and all the best for 2014!
I'm hoping to do some crafting (like that'll happen), over the weekend!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
