Yesterday I did a load of laundry, as planned, and then put up the tree. I also put the lights on, but not the ornaments yet. I'm going to do this in stages; I will enjoy it more that way! Today I'll do the ornaments and then tomorrow I'll do the house decorations. I have a huge Santa collection that I'm going to weed this year; I'm running out of places to display them.
I'm also planning to take the train & bus to the library and to the dealer's to pick up my Kia owner's manual.
I offered to host a light Christmas dinner and gift opening on December 20, before my family leaves for Florida. Mulling over what to make. Right now I'm thinking maybe chili or beef stew in the Instant Pot. I've already promised orange rolls and eggnog.
On December 19 I will drive down to central Indiana to surprise my former boss at his retirement party.
I realized yesterday that since my grandson will be with me at Thanksgiving, I have no one to check in on Iggy while I'm gone. The last time I hired a service to do that, I was very disappointed -- they actually let the water dish run dry. My neighbor has someone who does this for him, so I'm going to explore whether that person is available.
Pay day is the day after tomorrow. With variables at 44%, I'm doing well.
BFF updated me on her brother last night. He was in surgery again to remove a blood clot. None of this looks good.
Another Day

I think asking your neighbor about whomever watched his pet is a fine idea.

I like your decorating in stages. I'm considering doing something similar this year, but likely not until after Thanksgiving because we are traveling.

Will update on the pet sitter in my post!
