Merry Christmas to all from us!

A great stress reliever would be NOT putting things off until the last minute. Procrastination has been one oft least favorite character traits all my life!

Today is the deadline for getting our Christmas lights set up for this Christmas Season. We started yesterday and literally ran out of daylight before we could get the task complete.

Appointments in addition to an unexpected computer glitch requiring a trip to the genius bar at the Apple store have successfully robbed us of the morning and early afternoon.

We still need to get a timer and some more yard supplies so time is becoming an issue.

How embarrassing it will be to be scrambling after the sun goes down and people are out enmass to view the lights. Perhaps they will just think we have achieved a new level of animation?

The good news is that we are not being graded on this, and there are no penalties for an incomplete project. Wonder if the extra stress will give us the incentive to start the next project with more time to spare. Based upon our previous performances in the personal projects department, it seems highly doubtful. Wonder when we will consider ourselves as a priority.
