    Hi all,

    Playing Skyrim, Fallout76 and Diablo 2 at different times. Got a $100 gift card coming today for my SIL's birthday on the 24th. He wants gift cards to Bass Pro so that's what he got. :)
    Hi, DL :) I got $100 Amazon card from oldest son and his wife.

    I feel left out. I didn't get any gift cards.:( Work is going pretty well so far. My goal is to finish the week with as little stress as possible.
    That’s a good goal. You don’t need stress.

    Is everyone done with Christmas shopping? I thought I was done when I saw a cute gift for Dd on Amazon. I will get that today in the mail and be really done.
    I have to pick up one more gift for my Dad this evening after work only because Mom has one more gift than him. :laugh: My last Fedex package is out for delivery today so they managed to redeem themselves as all packages made it, albeit quite late but I'll take it. I know it has been rough on the delivery companies. I have three more gifts to wrap tonight and I'm done. I have to do all the shopping for me and my Mom and I pulled off another year! Thank goodness it's done as I've been very busy. It's a lot of gifts between us and I do all the wrapping so I wrapped for two days straight. I work tomorrow and then I have 11 days straight off. :) Needless to say I can't WAIT!

    MORNIN' . . . Or better said - Afternoon . . .

    Okay plan for the day, is the usual same old ritual everyday begining with . . .Wakeing-up - coffee first & vape - Wake-up -coffee (usually last of the day), and even more vaping . . . Read through ECF (which doesn't take to long anymore) and listeen to News in the background . . . Take morning medications, test Glucose . . . Then wash up . . . And on a Monday & Friday it's meeting with the visiting Nurse and Physical Therapist . . . Then daily life really starts to perk up . . . . Meet a few aquaintances in the afternoon for ice tea, bust chops for an hour or two (just like we did when we meet in a Bar at night) . . . .Go Shopping for NEEDED supplies, including food or whatever else is needed . . . . So pretty much the same thing most of the time . . . . Well except every 3 months it's blood wook/labs, the following week Dr.'s visits (6 in total) . . . Maybe do a product Review every now and then . . . So in a nut shell - That's what I have plan for most days . . . Which is very exciting life ! ! ! Until one of those super special days comes along - which happened yesterday . . . :blink:

    The Secret Day:

    Funny who you get a chance to meet and have an excellent time connecting with . . . Took a long drive through the sugarcane fields and swamp lands of the Florida everglades to a small hidaway town almost in the middle of the state to meet up with a very popular and famous ECF member . . . After the exchanges of pleasantries, we sat down to eat at a very typical Florida on the water front (an intercoastal water way) sports bar . . . Yep - It was only Bar Food, however a vey enjoyable lunch, especillly given the company . . . . Although we talk quite often on ECF & RL and have meet in RL before, this was a special day to meet up, relax and have some fun before the holiday weekends . . . Matter of fact, just before lunch I was surprised with a beautiful Hand Crafted Breaded Necklace they made just for me :thumbs: . . . . We actually had a lot to share with each other and not just about vaping . . . Before you knew it, approximatley 3 hours had gone by and evn though we probably could had gone on for a few more hours we decided to call it a day (niether of us wanted to drive back to our respetive homes - one North one South - on the major back road highway at night with no lights to speak of) . . . We plan to get together again and maybe even have a couple more ECF Friends join us there for lunch too (hey maybe you want to join us next time ;) ) . . . So that was the "Secret" Plan for the Day . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I've been done with shopping for awhile now. I had some Mason jars hanging around that I haven't been using, so I bought tops to make foaming soap dispensers and glued burlap bows on them. I was going to fill them with soap, but they leaked. The tops don't screw on as tight as the jar lids do. My brother and SIL are getting a framed diamond painting of the Last Supper for their new house. I found a cherry blossom depression glass tray at an antique store for my mother. She collects that particular pattern and it is very rare. A bunch of stuff for my daughter that I've gotten over the last few months. I try to start on Christmas in the summer as I like to make the presents and also it doesn't put a financial strain at one time.

    My mother in law gave my wife money this year to buy presents for our family and then turned around and went out shopping several times and bought more stuff. Makes no sense to me. I can understand she is getting older and my wife can easily pick up a gift or two for the four of us from my mother in law but why give my wife the money then go out shopping anyway?

    Makes her happy I guess. Who knows.

    Yep, all wrapped, what needed to be sent has been sent. Wrapped stuff will be delivered via Santa car on Friday, weather permitting. If not, well, they'll just have to wait :)
