It seems like a year has gone by since my last post. Time is certainly flying by.
Highlights from this week - Ellie's basketball team was in playoffs. They won one and lost one on Monday...and lost the final game on Wednesday by one point.
I have been busy with ebay. Between trying to get a couple more listings up, to shipping and packaging items up, to trying to organize to get our house in good shape for Christmas. Then all the thrift stores tempt me with Christmas being 50% off. I did some shopping this week, too.
I did kick butt and cleaned up the house. I have all but 3 boxes downstairs and massively cleaned the first floor.
I made a couple batches of applesauce for gifts and we started making cookies today. We are about halfway finished.
Merry Christmas to all, hope your week is filled with love and laughter.

Holiday Whirlwind
I am having difficulty remembering what I did this morning, much less this last week.
Ellie had her last couple basketball games. They won the Monday game but lost the Tuesday game by 2 points. It was an amazing game to watch...it was the 1st and 2nd place teams and it was intense. She has her tournament this week. 2 games played back to back on Monday and Wednesday.
Nick had his concert on Wednesday night. Mom and Dad joined us and it was a packed gym. Nick and the 2nd graders sung a couple Beatles songs and Walking in a Winter Wonderland. He looked handsome in his blazer.
Friday I coerced Mom and Teo to do some road warrior fun with me. We went out to the chocolate outlet and hit all the thrift stores near by. Found some great things that I already listed and they sold instantly.
December is keeping me busy...no complaints here because I would rather have 10 sales a day than nothing. I listed the remainder of my watches today and sold 3 within hours.
We had a social weekend, a party, visiting with friends, and church tableaux service.

I Think We Need To Disinfect
This has been one mammoth week. It seems like months ago that I last blogged.
We have all had various forms of this virus/cold/really crappy sickness. Nick is finally better but is cranky and still not himself. I am no longer leaking gallons on snot from my nose but still have an occasional cough. Ellie is still in the zone. Poor girl has not been sick like this in years. She probably started last weekend but is still coughing, sneezing, blowing and miserable. Rob is doing okay - I think he is gone so much that he avoided getting the full illness.
I really worked my tail off listing last week. I had free listings. Cyber Monday started out real slow...not one sale until 6PM but it has been strong since. I am more than double my daily sales goal. I have sold some funky stuff.
Ellie had 3 basketball games last week. They won 2 out of the 3. Whatever Ellie has, so does her team. It is okay because they are still in 1st place. They have 2 games this week and then the tournament.
Nick got to see his story acted out in "That's My Story" last week at school. His story was My Loose Tooth. We went to see it Friday night and it was so neat. The way the drama team put these kids stories to life was great.
Saturday afternoon, Ellie and I had Mom's annual Luncheon. We got there just a bit early to help out. The company was great, the food was excellent and a great time was had. I was supposed to drop Ellie off at the high school after and pick Nick up but Rob needs our help. The AV club was on for concessions and all of his volunteers had resigned. Ellie, Nick, and I helped out and ran the concession stand for the evening. It was the cross town classic and was busy. We ran out of most everything.
We were all tried and slept in today. I got a bunch of laundry done. Nick read some books, Ellie did some homework. This afternoon we went with Mom, Dad, Jo, Ole, and the boys to Skokie Theater to see Willy Wonka. It was an experience. Afterward we went for dinner at Great Bejing. It was also and experience.
I medicated Ellie up...I am a bit worried because she hasn't been this sick in a long time. I am giving her nebulizer treatments and busted out the steroids tonight. Visualizing my healthy and continually healing body and the new normal, Tree
