On Friday morning I wasn’t up until 5:45AM after well over 8 hours sleep. I got the cat fed and worked on getting my post up. Then I sat and rested. My helper called and said he’d not be coming in the morning.
Later in the morning I worked on getting Christmas gifts ordered. I am nearly done with that.
My brother had brought home lots of these pints of the eggnog he developed. I had some of that, some zucchini bread, some stuffing with gravy and cranberry relish, turkey with cranberry sauce, and cream cheese stuffed dates and celery. And then there was still pumpkin pudding with whipped cream…
Mid afternoon the wind came up and there was a good deal of horizontal snow. But nothing was sticking. My brother got home and said the hilltown where he works had squalls all day long and a couple inches of snow.
I just sat and rested except for one brief foray to try to empty the dishwasher. But the counters hadn’t been wiped down so there was no place to put the clean dishes. So I started wiping counters and got to the cook stove. It was a mess and grease had been spilled inside the oven. By the time I got that cleaned up, I was finished off.
So I sat and watched some TikTok videos, played solitaire and tried to read a new Christmas book. I had the Christmas music going all day.
It was rapidly getting colder so at 4PM I lit the window candles and got the stoves going. Someone thought this was a good idea.
At 8PM I turned off the candles, pulled the shades, checked the stoves and went to bed.
On Saturday, I have to clean up the kitchen, start the bills/budget, and eat more good food! It’s to be sunny but cold.
