Not for You Weekend Recap
Sup y'all, we're back to Monday. Again. I hope your weekend was a good one. Everyone still soaking wet or did you avoid biblical rain this week? Last week was not the greatest for me mentally. I started to have serious pre-buyers remorse. We're moving from one HOA nightmare to another in the form of either someone skilled in giving the runaround or are just plain a moron. We have to ask every question twice because the first time we get a response to every question except the one we asked. The fees just for the privilege to live here are jaw dropping. Like $7000. My cousin says it's for access to the lodge, clubhouse, all amenities, lakes, etc and I said "don't we get that with the monthly HOA fee we pay on top of that?" "Yes " Me: source Them: source Me: source Them; source It also hit me hard that traveling is over for us. Something that you all know has been an integral part of our ...
There is almost a collective feeling I get about decorating early this year and I think it would be nice to get the decorations up fairly soon after Halloween is done.
ReplyDeleteI learned something new today already. I, too, was today years old when I found out what a spinet was.
Nope - I won't do Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. I must be the outlier b/c as much as I enjoy seeing other people's displays, having my own tree up actually stresses me out. Mostly because the cats think it's a kitty jungle gym. I can't put up my fragile ornaments and I'm pretty sure my artificial tree is broken now from one of them trying to climb up and sleep in it last year.
ReplyDeleteI think its a fun idea to get some of the bulky things up, like the tree, in increments so it doesn't feel so time pressured. So a tree with some light is brilliant (I'm also a huge proponent of trees being up until Valentines Day....again, just lights, because winter is too dreary otherwise with the shortened daylight). This year though there's a good chance we may bot put up any because of our work schedules and both of us ready to drop. We don't do a lot like we used to anyway, but this year may be slimmer than usual if we're too exhausted. Hopefully we'll muster up some energy if we can though. Oh, and for those who put lights on outside, now is a perfect time to get them up before snow and ice. Don't have to be turned on but at least up and ready to go. 😁
ReplyDeleteI always try to not think about Christmas until after Remembrance Day (November 11th), as a sign of respect for our veterans. We always have a real fir tree, so that won't go up until a week or two before Christmas. We have friends that farm Christmas trees and set up a tree lot to sell them from December 1st to the 23rd. We will often go help them sell on the weekends and take our wages as a tree for our selves. However, the rest of the decorations will go up starting the first of December.
