What with all his health stuff going on, I just realized what
day it is today . A wonderful old friend was here cleaning and helping to clear
out the dining room so we could use it for Xmas dinner. I was resting while she
talked w this plumber she brought by, about what day it is and when Xmas was.
It was then I realized Christmas was next Thursday, I think. Then I was sad and he was sad because there had been ideas and plans that suddenly, we realized, wouldn't happen.
We went out to buy a cheap little live tree that could be planted the day after , but there were all sold.
So we came home, sat, and talked about our sadnesses. Our disappointments . Then we talked about what matters. Really.
Then we decided to pull out the stockings and give the kids and their partners stockings.
Simple simple sweet cheap.
I decided that if I got the juice, I'd pull out some lights and wrap them round a conical metal plant stand. We decided to make a Christmas ham ( eww) and have a nice dinner and relish every single thing.
Then we laughed and smiled and took a very nice long nap.
