Another day off

My day off yesterday, I got busy and didn't end up posting. We're planning a little weekend trip with dd and sil for next May and were trying to nail down the airbnb. After a few messages back and forth with the host, I got it reserved for us. It's a few hours drive from us, so not too far from home. Then dd said she thought they had an airbnb gift card to use, so once she sent me that info, I was able to get it reserved and did the partial payment option. It will be fun - the guys can enjoy their car stuff and dd and I will get an opportunity to shop some antique and gift stores.

I've got most of the Christmas shopping done. I just want to come up with one more idea for dh and I need a couple more stocking stuffers for him. Usually I do candy, but trying to keep away from that with his stomach issues. I did order a nice Cross pen (thanks for the suggestion MegB!) for dd.

Our furnace isn't recognizing the other 2 zones this morning, so I'm not able to turn up the heat upstairs in my office. It's done this before, but I can't remember what the HVAC guy had dh do to fix it, so dh will have to figure that out when he gets up this morning. I should write this down, so that next time (if it's something dh can fix himself) we will know what to do. It's been 2 or 3 years since this last happened, so I can't remember now. Not to mention, we've had other issues, so the fixes get mixed up in my mind. I think this issue just has something to do with the "zone damper" and just needs to get "unstuck" or something. Probably because it's 19 degrees outside, LOL. So, until dh wakes up, I just have a chunky sweater on and a blanket over my lap to stay warm. (it's holding the heat at 66, that we set it at last night, we just can't adjust it)

We got through most all of our leftover turkey. The sides are all gone. I didn't end up freezing any of the turkey as we've been managing to get it all eaten. Last night we were back to regular dinner, with some salmon.

I just finished up the November stuff for my oldest side job and emailed that report off. Gotta wonder how long this is going to last. They are still doing a little bit of business (more like consulting now) so have kept me on to keep track if that income and related expenses. I'm guessing not too much longer. Hopefully, when it does end, I'll be about due for a raise from my regular job and that will offset losing that.
