A Bunch of "Have To's"

This past week has been filled with many small things that had to be done, like:

have the oil changed in the van and have tires rotated,

go to the bank to exchange Christmas Jar coins for currency,

blood work for Jon and Jessie,

wait in a long line at the post office to get our mail that didn't fit in the box,

Christmas shopping,

get gas in the vehicles,

watch Darla poop, pick it up, and take it in for worm testing, (she's clear!)

set up a training interview for Darla,

more Christmas shopping,

paperwork,

food shopping and getting extra in case we're stuck for a few days,

(big snow storm supposed to be coming tomorrow night)

complete Christmas decorations in the house,

continue to prepare for our SM Christmas Dinner, 

get my hair colored and cut, and

finished emptying the garage so the van can be cozy at night.

Actually, that's about all I can remember tonight that I've done this past week. Right now I'm ready to go upstairs and rest, but I have bills that need to be paid and in the mail tomorrow before the snow falls. I'm sure we're going to get something, as both Jon and I have had achy joints all day. 

Jon began a new medication for his joint pain about 3 months ago and it has worked very well. Unfortunately, because he has responded so well to it, the doctor believes he has rheumatoid arthritis.
That's really not good, but at least there's an answer to his pain.
