CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

Maria, Maria, Maria. Give it a rest. You are going to wear everyone out.

She was up at 7:00 a.m. and found Rocky (maintenance man) working around here somewhere and got him to unlock the storage door so she could get the Christmas decorations. She now has boxes sitting in all the public areas. Looks really messy. I wouldn’t be surprised if that doesn’t set Olivia off I don’t know what will. Time to hide out.

The boxes would be open and decorations going up (at Marias direction) if she had her way. She found no recruits. So she began herself. If she does do it all-alone, she is going to be one angry puppy. She has set around some of the bigger decorative items downstairs, but let me know I was responsible to get the tree up. I didn’t answer – I smiled.

I distributed the December newsletter today. I listed a day to decorate all the spaces. We have our monthly residential meeting and birthday celebration on Thursday. A lot will be gathered, so I scheduled decorating after the meeting. May as well take advantage of recruiting from a larger group.

This morning I had to get all my doctors visits lined up and make sure I knew when the appointments are and where they are. I have five meeting in December. It was a good thing I checked. I had them all mixed up. A couple appointments were changed, one by the doctor and another by the weather. I have no idea how I got them all twisted around. It turned out that I did not even have an appointment with the podiatrist. Who knew? I was convinced that was my Friday appointment. No that’s for a mammogram. I have steadily growing and spread pain in my chest. Of all the things I am being referred for, this is one of two for which I have pain. The other is my left foot (good title for a movie).

I’m sure Maria was looking for me this afternoon, but I had much to do in my own apartment today. Since I am rarely here I guess she never thought to come to find me at my apartment. I did slip up stairs late this afternoon and she had nearly everything up. No one will need to help and she will be mad. I may try to put the tree up Wednesday during Bingo. That way there will be no one leaning over my shoulder telling me how to do it. I know how, really I do.
