I asked Alexa for tomorrow’s forecast and she let me know the low is predicted to be 19 degrees. NINETEEN! Just the thought of the cold should make me even more excited to be in Florida in about a week and a half, but I’m just not feeling it. I worry about my dogs most of all.
I’m also concerned the client plans to introduce me at their corporate dinner the evening before their event begins. Hints have been dropped multiple times. Thing is… I plan to attend ZERO event sessions and even fewer dinners. While my brother loves the stage, I prefer to remain behind the scenes.
I got my tree decorated yesterday and I’m not feeling it either. I prefer white lights (not yellowish white.. the white that almost makes you blind). I asked Perry to get the decorations down from the attic and he did — but the only lights that made it inside were the ones for the outside shrubs. I noticed I was lightless once I had the house a wreck.
I had to make a decision. I could either pull out the car and climb up the attic ladder in the garage (home alone knowing Teddy already broke a hip on that ladder), or I could just go and buy new lights. I chose the latter and hit Home Depot to avoid Walmart.
Not a strand of white lights in the place. Another decision… hit Walmart or go with colored lights. Again, I chose the latter.
I’m not a fan. And now that I put it in that room, I don’t like it in there. Another decision. I can either have Perry (who is already in trouble for not getting the darned lights down in the first place) get back in the attic for the lights and start over, or I can live with it this year as is. Should I just go with the latter? ARG!
I think tomorrow is the day I start over on the tree.
TIL (Today I Learned): After Roman Emperor Nero’s wife died, he took a young boy named Sporus who looked like his dead wife and married him. He had him castrated and forced him to wear his late wife’s clothing when they were seen out public.
