[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 322342, member: 1991"] G'day for Friday. Sharon/WO, good luck with the exercise. I know I ask this every year, but why "Black" Friday? In Australia, we tend to reserve adjectives such as "black" when applied to days, as referring to horrendously bad bushfires, usually associated with loss of life. maril, congrats on being so organised with your Christmas list. You're doing better than me. Today was hot, tomorrow will be hotter. Again I had a busier day than I intended. I dropped in on easy child 2/difficult child 2 and again found her paralysed by anxiety and indecision. So instead of heading home as I had intended, I stayed for a couple of hours and helped her over some hurdles. We've got some more phone calls to make for her on Monday and Tuesday but we got a lot done today. At the expense of me getting back home and getting my things done, but that's how it is... I have a party to go to tomorrow, the first Christmas party of the season for me. That's when I start to panic about how fast the year has flown. I have a lot to do before tomorrow's party, and it begins at midday. Somewhere in there I HAVE to get to the beach! The hot weather won't last, it will cool off tomorrow afternoon. I also have a concert to book tickets for, on Sunday. Meanwhile - mother in law's phone is out of order (again - that's the third time in three days) and she's got medications she desperately needs which seem to be unavailable in the entire country. The drug company only had a message on their answering machine today so I have emailed the US company (counting on it being a working day today, maybe someone there can put on some steel-capped boots and so some kicking for me). John Lennon was right - "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." Enjoy your Friday. Marg [/QUOTE]
