Debby, Not so much as a strand of tinsel in this house yet, and I usually go all out. It’s making me pretty sad. The Charlie Brown Tree is still sitting all alone in his box in the storage until, and I can feel Ma and the rest of the family shooting accusatory looks at me. The Village has no home here, and my Moosie Nativity Shopping scene hasn’t seen daylight since last December. Shopping is done, has been for a while, but nothing is wrapped. And it just feels almost too late to get it all out now.... I’ve been a little depressed about it. I think we have several days off....just a visitation next week but it’s only an overnighter, and a Christmas party at the Lodge in Lovell. Then nothing until the 29th. So there’s time - but somehow it all feels like an afterthought instead of a celebration. Christmas Eve is spent at Tammy’s, and we always have Pie Day here Christmas Day. So I dunno....I keep telling Ken I can’t shake the feeling that this is my last Christmas. No lectures, please.....I know, I know.
On that cheerful note, you are really getting to the bones of that house! Just be careful....no construction accidents, please! We were in Casper all day yesterday for a combined DeMolay/Job’s Daughter’s installation, but we got there a half hour before it kicked off and it went on until late. We wanted to crash in a hotel for the night, but there was no room at the inn for Fiona so she was home alone. Kids came over and took care of her, but they couldn’t stay here and we wouldn’t have asked. So we got home about midnight - it’s a four hour drive dodging deer and skunks. And I wasn’t sure you were even there because I hadn’t read back that far.
Cap, I’m just so sorry you’ve had such a hard time of it! I suppose you’ve tried saline nasal rinses before the infection....not supposed to do it with an active infection but I do one nightly and it sure helps me. Not for everyone, though, I get that. Is 5he lack of reflexes in that arm concerning the doctors? Between you and Sean you’re keeping us on our toes...or knees, as the case may be.
