29th December Stayed home all day, spent the day tiding the lower part of the house. Packed away all the christmas items, tree back inits box and all ready to go back into the loft with the other christmas box. Had a very good clean, pulled the sofas out and hoovered behind them, also pulled all the cushions off and hoovered them and the sofas they came from. did the high dusting and low dusting and now the rooms look like a showhouse. Tomorrow before Great Auntie comes shall clean the downstairs bathroom and clean the window outside where the cat puts all his muddy footprints. Have had bath and am now relaxing on mylot before its time to go to bed. How would your diary read for today? Or what ever day you get to read this discussion, just date your response so we know which day you are talking about

My beaded cell phone pouch - the strap is what I'm totally rebeading
I woke up about 3 a.m. Dec 29th, messed around on the computer, threw Gabby out to shut her up and went back to bed about 5 a.m. Got up about 10 a.m., turned the heater on in the bathroom. Took the laundry basket to the laundry room and loaded the washer, but didn't start it. Took my shower and then went and started the load. Ate a piece of apple pie for breakfast. Messed around on the computer and promised to sew a button on the other roommate's work shirt. Fixed two hard boiled eggs into an egg salad for lunch and then took off to the Old Bakery for my 2 hours of volunteering. While there, I worked on my beading repair project on my beaded pouch, the strap had been damaged and I'm making a new one. I returned home, went out to my craft shed and repaired the pocket, a side seam and the under arm seam of the other roomie's work shirt and sewed the button on. Came in just as the roomie finished her work at 5, and have been goofing around on the computer since. I'd LIKE to go to bed early, but that would again mean I'd be up in the middle of the night, tho last night it was because I was hot.

30th December 2011. The first thing in the morning, next to brushing my teeth was to turn my laptop on to finish a small part of updating of my blog which I couldn't do overnight. I was greeted with a screen message 'This Account has been suspended'.. Second time in five days. I tried calling the host even as I raised a ticket online. The guys probably had read the ticket and sent a response, so didn't bother to answer me. Some malaware in one of directories; was advised to clean up by running scan, change password etc. Finally, the ISP staff turned up at 10:30am offering to relocate the router connection so I could work with better speed. Was feeling the pressure as I had to finish the rest of online schedule before attending the farewell a business associate had arranged for me. Accomplished quite a bit on the web the afternoon until 4:00pm. Was there just past a few minutes of scheduled program time. It turned out to be an elaborate two hour event. Was flattered with speeches & mementos. It was mild shower all through, until I came back home. There was more to do online. I had to re-claim all the inbound links from old domain to new domain. Figured out it all and set it up quite well. Now have to sit back & watch. It was getting late and wife started sounding about ill effects of late sleep. Decided to turn it off after completing this & retire to bed! On the whole, eventful!!

My day for December 29th would read that I took my daughter to the homeschool class at the library, visited with friends over lunch, and then came home. Once I was home, I took down a few of the Christmas decorations, then went to the flea market to rearrange my booth a little, went to the grocery store. Finally, cooked dinner and relaxed with my husband and daughter and her friend while watching "Zoo Keeper" and then spent some time on here chatting with friends.

Today december 29th would read. Woke up at 7:30 got myself ready, my daughter daughter ready to brin my husband to work. Make husband lunch, go out the door drive 30 minutes down the road to hubby's office drop him off. Head back home to then remember I have to bring my daughter to the doctor for 9 and not 10. So then get back into the car pull out of the complex back down the road to doctor. Make to the doctors office on time for appointment. We wait to see the nurse togibe my daughter her second round of flue shot for the year. My daughter gets her shot she cries I get her redressed again and leave to come home. Get home remember I need to email my mom about a bill. Get a text from my husband in the middle of the email to tell me his work put money in the bank and that he made $650 this pay check. Need to write a check for rent that is due by the 5th. Née to start planin my daughter birthday party we are having. Have to put my sugar down for her name at 11 and might take a nap with her because I'm sleep. Thinking about when in going to have my period an pounder about what if in pregnant again should I get some home test to day and wait another week and then test or Katy wait till tuesday when I go to the doctor to check on my cyst. Then this makes me sit and think about the baby I lost and how I miss the little person an still wish I was pregnant. Should I go back to use protection or not. Tell myself im not going to clean today it's Friday I spend the week cleaning I should rest for today and just have fun with my sugar and laugh over what sue does. Then around 4pm have to go pick up husband might go ou for a bit and then come home and cook some BBQ chicken for dinner and hope my husband cousin will stay for the night and join us and not go out with friends since we have seen much of her yet.

We are doing okay. Getting ready to go to my ultrasound this week on the 8th to check in on a little baby and hope to see a baby this time moving around and stuff. Its been a month since the last time I saw the doctor for an ultrasound and lets just say morning sickness and I are not getting alone right now. We have other things to now worry about.

30th of December - I woke up early and thanked God for another year He has given me. Today is my special day I went to church as well to pray and again silently express my gratitude to God for the wonderful years and hopefully many more wonderful years to come. I also went to the market afterwards with my mom to buy some stuff we needed for tomorrow, New Year's Eve. We have prepared macaroni salad for tomorrow and have made the ingredients ready for cooking the next day.

apple pie is HIGH on my breakfast list! and actually not too bad for ya either Because I used to get sick on breakfast every morning for years, my mom did her best to put something in me that wouldn't make me sick but could be considered half-way healthy... I don't care for oatmeal cookies with raisins or chocolate chips any more for that reason! But apple pie was also on the list, its fruit after all...

December 30th Dear Diary (Anne) Today was a busy day. I have been taking physical inventory at work which has resulted in 10-12 hour days. Today had been no different. We thought we could get out of work early but a software issue has held us up. I have eat like a pig because the ladies at work are in fierce competition as to who makes the best what and I am surrounded with food and anxious faces to see what I think of it. The thought crossed my mind that I might have dimples on my hiney after this holiday season is over. I had to run out at lunch and pay my land taxes before the end of the year. I would like to kick Uncle Sam in the knee sometimes. I got off around six and had to run by the house to pick up the youngest. I wonder what Kimber, my oldest is doing? I am looking forward to tomorrow night. First New Year's Eve in three or four years that I will celebrate. I grabbed up my little dog around 8pm and settled in to a little mylotting before bed. My b/f is being selfish with the Xbox but I am too tired to play now anyway. Around 10pm I head to bed with visions of a long weekend dancing in my head. Jenny

Hope you had a wonderful weekend dancing.... think about all those calories you lost while dancing

Hi Anne! My diary for 29 December 2011... is quite THE emotional day of 2011. When i woke up i said my prayers... watered the plants while boiling my bath water, went to office... here comes office... i got a text message from my sister who just had a excision biopsy 2 weeks ago... It is confirmed... my sister has br*ast cancer stage1... i was talking to a business partner on the phone when her text came through and my mind was all a-fluttering... and i kept saying on the phone... "oh what was that you were saying again?" and again, i would say "oops sorry my mind is wandering, please bear with me." hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy after the phone call, i dropped an instant message via outlook to my friend officemate and she was shocked and immediately went to my station where my face is all red up with bottling tears. When she came up and gave me a hug, i exploded like "waaaaaaaaaaaaah! i never thought that the big C would hit our family!" I took the half day off because my sister and i planned to hit the grocery to buy prizes for our christmas party on Jan1. Since my sister has been bleeding from the removal of the stitches earlier, she decided not to tag along. So... i went to the grocery with my other siblings and bought the prizes as planned. Dang! it was also my first time yesterday to use a credit card in the grocery. Then, i got hungry and lined up to buy a burger. Sheesh... lining up for the burger was a wayyyyyy lot longer than my 2-minute devouring burger time. Then, we had dinner... family prayers... then mylot, then ebay, then sleep... hayyyyyyyyyy. what a day...

That was indeed an emotional day for you and your family. When there is something that bothers us especially if it's about our family, it's really difficult to put our concentration on the things we're doing.

I write in my daily diary each day, but I sometimes get behind on what I have to record in my diary that day. My diary would usual start out the same such as getting up late in the morning to watch television in my bedroom, turn off bedroom television, take a bath, ice my right knee, put on clothes, clean bathroom, turn on my computer, change shoes to go to my mailbox, wash, dry, iron and put up clothes, turn on living room television, cook dinner, get telephone calls from my mother, my mother arrives to call her cousin and friends, she goes to sleep, I go back to my bedroom to watch the bedroom television, work online, take a bath, change clothes, turn off television and computer and go to sleep. My diary tends to have multiples of chores to do when I am staying in my apartment every day, and I usually do not go out places like I used to because of my injured right knee that I received from being assaulted since that early summer of 2008. I just spend most of time indoors and being at my computer online.

30th December Got up early to do mylot. Husband is bringing my brother to work. Getting the garbage out. Doing dishes and a load of wash. Writing lots on mylot. Going to call friends and family. Visions of what I might look like in my knew wig dance in my head. Responding to my wig discussion. Creating more discussions about stories. Responding to a good discussion about prayer and one about alt healing. Deciding which clothes to wash,so many are dirty. Responding to a hair art discussion. Hearing the rural route postal carrier drive up and leave us some mail. Hearing the garbage truck come up and get garbage. Freezing because it's 9 degrees F and my husband opened the door and even though he moved quickly, he froze the house. So the heater is going like crazy trying to catch up. He left before the carrier finished,so I will have to bundle up and get the mail. Reminising about how I had to fight for everything I've gotten in this life. The fun times. The not so fun times. Deciding on whether to meditate, pray, or read a book next. Wishing I could find my needles so I could do some mending. Need to find my plastic gloves so I can continue weaving. I seem to be allergic to something in one of the yarns. Will probably work on the hat I'm making for myself. I made a bunch and gave them away, now I need one! Thinking about which alt healing stuff I want to do today. Crystal healing, herbal, or food grade hydrogen peroxide.

hi anne oh my I am a piker as today last day of the old year I slept all morning then mylotted til dinner time. and am now mylotting til bedtime. I am a tad disappointed as my son was going to share new years eve with me but hes down with a bad cold and tomorrow he has to move from his old apt in his complex to a new apt and he was feeling bum,as I am still recovering from the flu we both decided it would not be a good idea for him to be around me tonight with all his virus. we plan on getting together Monday night if his cold is better.It is not of course the end of the world as I can enjoy mylotting here and do some reading i wanted to catch up on.There will be other times for sure and i am hoping I did not give him my virus.oh my so all I did today was fool around on the computer. I have no work to do here, we are pampered and its really boring to me.tonight dec31 and the time is 6;47 pm. I am wishing I could find something new years eveish on the computer. lol

It's the 30th today. And although we go home from work at noon (it's about 11:20), I actually have somebody looking after the kids until 4pm. So, I have half a day all to myself. Of course half of this free time would be spent running around doing chores and getting ready for new year. Hopefully I get at least 10 minutes just for myself doing nothing!

Although I am a man, I like also to take care of the household being made, even if nothing else in cleaning and tidying the house. It is true I like to live in cleanliness and order. I do not care if it means having to spend entire days at home, you should know that I have a few friends who I don't meet them often. My day is common to get up in the morning, after breakfast to ask my mother what can I do to be of help. She gives me some task I carry out willingly. And at evening I am satisfied, I did however instill something good!

Sorry for being late with response. Today 30th of December I did some on line work. But it seams that all world is still lazy after Christmas so I worked only 3 hours. I hope it will back to my routine again ( 10 hours a day). After that I watched Black swan and I was really impressed by Natalie Portman's creation. She is really talented. I think this film is really twisted.But very very good. So as you see my day was rather boring. Greetings... And Happy New Year in advance.
