This week finds us mid November and Christmas just weeks away. I have completed the major things on my to do list. Gift shopping is done with the exception of picking up a few last minute items. Gifts are wrapped and stored in the spare room for now. I am glad that I am in a little ahead as I have been asked to work 3 days a week until at least the end of November. The HGP is still on track, 2 rooms to go and fingers crossed that I will completed those rooms well before Christmas week. That's the plan anyway.
