What an interesting day. I was relatively pleased with my progress this morning getting dressed for breakfast. It still was somewhat slow going for a while but I was able to get everything on and fastened by the time I need to leave for the restaurant which was just a little bit before 8:00 a.m.. my legs are giving me more and more issues as far as Crossing them so I can get my shorts on over my feet and my shoes on my feet secured and somewhat presentable. The breakfast was usual just mark Anthony and Jasmine the boyfriend was home with the dog doing dog sitting. As usual we broke up around 10:00 or a little before Mark had to go and work on his sound stuff and Jasmine was meeting me at the apartment so she could carry through with her promise to decorate my door the annual Christmas door decoration. I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleased to have the company. I was even more pleased when she jumped in and started cleaning the apartment and putting things away so she could have room to work on the door decorations as well as fetching down the Christmas tree- - fake but beautiful - - and setting things up. Seems like it took quite a while to decorate the tree she really wouldn't to town on putting the bulbs on the tree and finding a suitable place to place the tree. We also did the front door oh I just supervised Jasmine did all the work. We did the front door front and back wreaths on both side quite a bit of fun actually. It was great having this time to visit with the granddaughter. She has a lot going on in their life as I guess kids do everywhere she seems to juggle it pretty well. She's got the end of the semester exams coming up and she should finish this semester with her associate's degree. I know it's cliche especially for a grandparent to say but I'm proud of her and her focus and her work to get this basic degree. I just hope I can encourage her to continue her academic pursuit of the other degrees she would like to have to do what she wants to do.
As I wander into the second week of December I realize that I have a meeting on Wednesday. It's a quarterly meeting so it's not like I was shocked or anything, better yet it's also going to be zoomed so I won't have to be heading out somewhere for an in-person meeting. This Wednesday meeting should take most of the afternoon starting at 1:00 and ending about 3:30. I have other meetings I think towards the middle of the month but even and in retirement things slow down at Christmas almost to a standstill. Usually I don't I don't mind particularly if it's bad weather but what I'm seeing right now is that global warming continues to show its warm face. Temperatures are above normal as is the moisture, very little snow or rain has blessed us this season yet. Like I said this works for me but it's not for everybody else. I'm contemplating now that we'll probably get very little moisture the rest of this month in particularly nothing in the valley over Christmas but that's not a shocker. My door is done and my apartment decorated for the holiday I'm pretty excited and I even getting into a little bit of the Christmas spirit whether it lasts or not that is the question..
