Friday that feels like Wednesday :)

I still haven't received my monthly check in the mail from my side job. It usually comes around the 3rd of the month. I can log in the company bank account and see the check was processed (through bill pay) and looks like it should have went in the mail on Monday. I guess if it doesn't get here by Monday, I'll have to have her cancel it and send me a new one. 

Looks like I am going to have to call our propane company to ask about the rebate. The guy made it sounds like the rebate would be processed to my account with them and he said "you should see it next Monday". It's still not there and the full bill is due soon.  I guess I can just pay it and when the rebate/credit gets posted it can sit on my account and go towards the summer fill up.

My poor sis is still dealing with her (step) dad and his ongoing/increasing health issues. Very stressful. He's like 92 and REALLY needs to be in assisted living. He ended up back in the hospital (small town one) for the past few weeks and decided he wanted to go home again. She and her sister in law finally got some help for him, but would only come like 4 days a week and then another person for some other type of help, one day a week. They got him home and of course, he then told the nurse that was to come in 4x a week, she only needed to come in once a week and there's not much they can do. He's extremely stubborn. Well, then this morning she and I were messaging about work and she suddenly said "I gotta go - dad's not doing well". There is no way this man can live by himself! The nearest other relative (her sis in law) is an hour from him and my sis is 2 hours from him.

I'm so glad it's Friday already. Of course the week went by fast for me, since I had Monday and Tuesday off. The weather looks like rainy tomorrow but turning to snow on Sunday. It would be nice to see some snow. We've been getting lots of fog, that freezes onto all the trees and almost looks like it has snowed.

We are still waiting to hear from dh's doctor about the MRI results. I guess we'll give a call if we haven't heard by this afternoon. That's what the MRI nurse told him to do. She said his doctor should have the results next day but if he hasn't heard by Friday, to call the doctor. But, this is the doctor's office that is almost impossible to get someone to answer the phone - it always goes to recordings/leave a message, so I'm sure even if we call, we'll still be waiting to hear, just like we are now.

I think this weekends dinners will be ham and cheese sliders tonight and pizza tomorrow. I've been craving pizza. The weekend before Christmas will be my cookie making weekend. I'm going to skip making the rosettes this year. They haven't been turning out that great the last 2 times I made them and they don't stay fresh very long. I'm going to make the "Christmas crack" - 2 kinds. One with chocolate and pecans, and one with chocolate and peanut butter. I have some mini m&m's and red and green sprinkles to top, so I'll likely do half and half. I'm going to make the good little shortbread cookies I made last year. They are super quick and easy to make and very delicious. Then I'll most likely make my sugar cookies I make every year. It's tradition, LOL. If dd and sil are here on the 23rd (I think they are coming over on the 22nd) maybe she and I can do those cookies together. Or even on the 24th - we don't really have much planned for the 24th - other than opening the presents in the evening.
