Building a thousand piece puzzle as our weeks achievement.

Not much else going on around here besides building lego sets, washing new clothes, eating Christmas candies, and my wife putting her one thousand piece puzzle together on the dining room table. I have done laundry, and not much else, except walk the dog, take down three trees, put two 1,000 pound tires on a farm buggy, and swap over a set of forks for a bucket on the old case tractor down at the farm. It’s been a quiet and restful holiday break. I did have a bit of work to start on Friday afternoon, but otherwise I’ve had a riot of a time doing much of nothing.

This week will probably be slightly busier as I will need to work on Monday, Thursday & Friday. Plus the hockey game downtown on Sunday night. No real plans for New Year’s Eve but that’s par for the course with us. I know the town has fireworks, so that would be a fun time as long as it isn’t pouring rain the whole time.

I just paid off a very unpleasant Visa bill for the joint holiday / birthday that happened this month. Between the birthday party and Taekwondo there was an additional $1,100.00 on my card, plus all those birthday & Christmas presents, and my business expenses, and the renewal of Disney+ for almost $200.00 bucks, and my WordPress renewal. Yikes. When it rains it pours! Glad I had just gotten paid by a few clients. Now to tighten those belts once more, and make do with what we’ve got. Holiday spend thrift me needs to go back into hiding until next Christmas. Scrooged me needs to step back into the limelight and right this ship!

I need to sort out my Ladt HST payment to the CRA tomorrow, and get that scheduled. So I have a few things to do tomorrow along with paid/invoiced work. Yay!

It’s raining a whole lot for the foreseeable future so I best keep sm eye on the basement for flooding, and watch for ice on the driveway, and front walk. No good having somebody fall & hurt themselves. When I go grocery shopping next, I’ll have to grab salt, or ice melt, as well as laundry detergent and fabric softener. Going to be a pricey trip to the shops. Fun times. Third last day of the year, here we come!
