It took all day, but I finally got caught up with all my notifications. It has been a relatively quiet if not warm day, as noted in another post. One thing about this warm day are the Christmas decorations. They're up on the light poles downtown and somehow with this warm weather they seem out of place, even though I know this is November. Well that's it for now. I'm going to get some writing done with the rest of my night. Thanks for reading.

@mom210 I changed my settings now I'm caught up and will stay that way until tomorrow when I'll be gone all day and will be playing catch-up again no doubt.

It's not always easy to keep up with everyone. You do the best that you can.

It is hard, but I get to meet a lot of great people and read a lot of great articles as I go through the notifications.

Our neighbour was out in shorts hanging his Christmas lights outside this afternoon. I think that he will regret that as we usually get windy weather in November and he might be rearranging them time and time again.

It's hard to believe he was in shorts even in Canada this time of year. I hope he won't need to rearrange them too much.

Isn't it a relief to get all those notifications over and done with?

I wasn't on yesterday and already have a pile of notifications to check.

It's always nice once they've cleared, but there's always more by morning when I get back here.

It can get harder and harder to keep up as more people read your articles.

Yes it can. But that means I get to read as many as well.

It's always nice to complete whatever we've set out to do. Feelings of accomplishment does give me a sense of relief that the task at hand had been brought to completion. So have a great time enjoying your rest and favorite beverage.

Yes it does. It puts a smile on my face and I know I accomplished something by the time I go to bed.

It feels really good when you have attended to all notifications. Christmas decorations in November is a common thing in our country, in fact there were already decors as early as October. Our country has the longest Christmas celebration.

Now that would make me happy since Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love seeing all the decorations.

notifications clearance can be quite slow with new ones coming in even as I do it - it literally can be one step forward three steps back - all good for our banks though

Yes it is. I log out as soon as the notifications clear, but then it's after midnight anyway and time to go to bed.

@just4him I clear mine and it fills again the next day - guess I'd be more concerned if it didn't

It is very warm for the season also here in Switzerland, it seems the bad weather is coming into about ten days.

They are pretty early with those Christmas decorations. Ours won't go up for weeks, the town tree goes up after THanksgiving. Good job on the notifications. I shall never be caught up.

We usually have the decorations up before Thanksgiving. It just feels odd because it's so warm, though today we had more fall-like weather.

I can't stand Christmas decorations being put up too early.

Our temps in Florida are 10 degrees above normal. We have been in the upper 80's but cooler temps are on the way.
