good morning @GoJays

I see you are off and running with the memes...that was a great one for work, do you work in HR? ha ha ha
Another early start to my day....by choice, sort of.
It's Thursday already! Where has my week gone?
Last night I finally found the energy to sit and wrap all the gifts....ugh! so many....DD and both DS's and DH's.
These are only the ones that I had ordered online and arrived. I am still waiting for quite a few.....some may cut it very close, some will arrive after Christmas.

Does anyone else do what I do for the ones that don't arrive in time to wrap? I print out a large photo of the item out and wrap it up.....gets a few laughs.

ha ha !! yes @@danger_dan that is our wee little Hamlet who was no larger than my DD's cell phone when DH rescued him!
He is much heavier, taller and all around larger than Claudius.....he eats most of the food when I set it out.
He walks over to Claudius regularly, bends his head down in front of Claudius' face and waits for him to bathe him!!
And Claudius does it! OMG, we laugh all the time.
The splotch marking on his face sure does look like he dipped it in chocolate.

Our school board has shut down schools. They call it a "Weather Impacted Learning Day." ( Acronym - WILD☺)
I have a drift on my balcony!!!!

@avoncallingu I got this sent to me this morning and thought of you! ha ha

G'day!

I don't have much to say today...just date-tagged the 12 gifts of Christmas for our Grandson; they're in a particular order. I hope he enjoys them!

@flemeth, Bless your heart for supporting a family through Christmas. We all have ways of giving back, but when it's personal like that, it must feel so different from a financial donation.

@walkonby, I've had to do that once: printing out a photo of a gift that didn't arrive in time and you're right...it was fun and receiving that gift after all the hoopla died down was also fun!

@danger_dan, enjoy your long weekend....have you shopped for your Lady, yet, or are you waiting until the 24th?

Toodles, everyone...stay safe!

I typed out a long post this morning and then -poof- I lost it.

@natalia - I hope that your doctor knows about the new development of your not being able to "tell" your -(was it arm, or leg?) to move. It could be something more serious that needs attention.

I'm glad that you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and challenges with us. We'really here to support and listen to you.

@flemeth - how kind of you and your family to support other families this Christmas!

I have to run down and get my supper and then I have a zoom meeting with our church anti-racism and inclusion committee from 7-9.

They are talking about maybe putting our region into "lockdown" status.

Oh boy!

See ya!

@Lynn49 since it our first time sponsoring a family I am a little anxious since I want it to be perfect.we do have an idea what the want and will try our best to give them there wishes. As for the food not too much diet restrictions so that’s easy

I don't work in HR, but perhaps I should consider it?

I've wrapped pictures before. Not your fault the package doesn't arrive on time, right?
