tonight I spent another hour searching through the Christmas boxes trying to find the Advent calendar that Cyndi sent to me two years ago…

it is made of two muffin baking pans and twenty-four magnetic covers… I saw them in July when I was gathering items for the Champagne Bubble Party…

Advent Calendar 2012…

now I’ve been through everything twice and still can’t find it… last year she sent a package to the office and my colleagues filled all the spots and put on the covers… it was fun for them as well as for me…

I’ve now decided that I can use some small paper bags that she had used and were left from her business because apparently I am not going to find it, sigh…

did find some other Advent things and set them aside… have organized a few gifts but need to deal with quite a few more…

technology is also being a bit difficult as my desktop computer has died and I have to take the time to figure out how to print on the printer that was hooked up to the desktop…

a big job I have is to get the computer room tidied and organized… this will also help with being able to sort out the printer problem, lol…

trying hard not to let myself wallow in the sad place… a friend had told me that often year two is worse than year one, and that is what I seem to be experiencing…
