R/R: Well, AF showed up, both a rant and a rave. I was ready to get this next cycle started. I’m hoping to run into town today to sell some stuff. We’ll see how DH feels about that.
CS/Q: Boring right now.
GTKY: Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, or none for your holiday shopping and why? Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, although I only have three people left to do this year out of 15, so I’m feeling proud!

R/R: I’ve got this sinus thing going on that’s giving me a sinus headache now. I spent hours working on a research paper with statistics (ugh) yesterday. I need to garner more motivation to keep working on it.
CS/Q: my temp this morning was back down to normal-ish, so I’ll likely discard yesterday’s and keep temping.

I used to do Black Friday afternoon, not because of all the deals but I liked going to the mall and walking around. I prefer to shop online. I haven’t started yet!
@c@chindimples04 Kudos to getting that much shopping done already! I’m determined to be more purposeful and organized this year. I’m used to only shopping for my family and I have left MH’s fam up to him, but they buy for me so I ought to put more work into it.
@emmylou78 I’m sorry you are feeling cruddy. Sounds like what my husband had. 😔 I hope you found some motivation to keep working on your paper!

R/R: our college football game was cancelled yesterday, which made me really sad. 😔 I love football season. I cleaned the main level of our house yesterday, hoping to get the upstairs down today. :-) also want to wrap gifts. I go back to work tomorrow. That was a much needed, but not long enough, break!
CS/Q: Nothing to see yet. :-)

@emmylou78 good luck on the research paper! I know whenever I’m feeling cruddy I definitely have zero motivation to do much of anything, never mind research. I hope you start feeling better soon!
@chindimples04 college football has never really been my thing, but these canceled/rescheduled NFL games have me all in a tizzy so I can definitely sympathize.

R/R: dh and I don’t have any photos of us together really except for our wedding 5 yrs ago, so we decided to take photos to give to our parents/grandparents for Christmas this year. We went with a portrait studio vs a photographer bc it’s been cold out and I dont handle the cold well (I have raynaud’s). Photos were 11:40am, they took us right in and they went pretty well. Then came the wait. We waited for HOURS, were repeatedly asked not to leave, and finally got our pictures and left the studio at 5pm. I will never again go to a portrait studio. I would rather freeze my extremities off outside than deal with the clusterf*ck that was the portrait studio.
CS/Q: oddly high temp today but I slept poorly. I feel like my temps are all over the place the last few days, but I’m attributing most of it to booze and weird sleep.

I tend to have most of my shopping done before these hit, but if I had to choose it’s more of an “all of them”. I leave things in my cart and check on each of the days to see if prices have gone down to where I’m willing to purchase, and if they have then I do.
@emmylou78 great job finishing the paper! Your motivation is impressive! Yea, the portrait studio was editing & printing that day. They said if we didn’t get them that day they would be purged from the system. We asked if we could leave to eat and come back and they kept insisting they were almost done so we never left (plus we were afraid they would purge them). I absolutely think mini sessions are the way to go. I’m going to start following some local photographers so I can keep an eye out for future mini sessions.
