It stayed cool and breezy all day Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>I was outside in the cool and breeze, in shorts, long sleeve t shirt, and a zippered jacket.  I like the freedom of movement when climbing ladders and moving around that I get from shorts.   I added a knit hat and was comfortable all afternoon.  Without it, my nose was cold and I wasn&#8217;t comfortable.  If you don&#8217;t normally wear hats, and it could be cold where you are, add some to your preps.  One of the things I like about getting older and giving fewer *cough* <em>flocks<\/em>&#8230; is wearing hats for fashion, and &#8216;cuz I like them.  They also keep my head warm and the sun out of my eyes, but really it&#8217;s about looking cool&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I got enough lighting up that I&#8217;m happy with the result.  There are a couple of things I could add, but I&#8217;m out of time.  The tree is up, lit, and decorated.  It even has some presents under it!  Since we&#8217;re only a  couple of days away from Christmas, that is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Plan for today is to take some stuff to storage, buy some groceries, and head out to my client&#8217;s later in the day, or possibly delay that until tomorrow.  My wife is working at the office today, leaving the kids with me.  I can park them in my client&#8217;s home theatre, but it would all be easier if I can wait for my wife to be at home on Tuesday.  <\/p>\n<p>Sometime soon, I need to sort and wrap my own presents too.  Most of them were purchased so long ago I&#8217;ve kinda forgotten what I have.  Some preppers make lists, I make piles.  <\/p>\n<p>I should also get a plan together for Christmas dinner.  I&#8217;d like to have friends over, as we haven&#8217;t seen them in a while.  I&#8217;ve got a nice ham, and some beef ribeye roasts in the freezer.  And maybe, I could take the time to cook the elk that has been taking up space for these last few years&#8230;last time I tried to cook it in a hurry and it wasn&#8217;t the greatest.  Hmm.   Cookies need baking too.  And maybe I should pick up some fresh veg.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s my next few days sorted!  Plans are easy, aren&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p>Stack some stuff.  Give yourself some choices.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Cool and clear, but of course there is a chance of rain.
