Glad We Rested Thursday Night Because Friday Was an Exhausting Day of Putting Up Christmas Decorations

Perhaps I'm at the age where I have too much, which is odd, because I usually head out of dodge for the holidays and have never hosted. Still, I accumulate more and more each year and need to move the furniture to get to what I need to get up. Tunga and Lys helped in the morning, but then made their way to Rhode Island for a little while. This game me the day to put up the tree, organize the crazy, and....well...grow frustrated with the lights. There's always one light that goes out and kills the whole strange, which turns into crazy frustration to find the right bulb. After a few hours I gave up. Likely just will buy a new strand. 

After the food festival, Karal, Lys, Chitunga, and I simply watched football. Actually, I wrote for a while and joined them about 9:30, but then we all collapsed around 10:30 and went to bed.

It was way to windy to put the outdoors lights out, and I'm glad that we're not more east, because Syracuse and the northern states are getting hammered with a pre-holiday snow-show. Ugh. I would not want that, especially after the Denver trip followed by a holiday. I wouldn't want to do snow removal, too. 

Today, I plan to get more writing done, as I really have put off big projects for a week and I'm needing to be a big boy and simply get them done. 

My tree, which was Pam's tree about five trees ago (Tunga has one, too, but I think he finally put it to the curb), also needs to see a curb. It's not like I'm going to buy a new one unless it is super clearance, so I keep putting up with the fallen fake needles. I just vacuum a lot. I do have a few ornaments that bring back memories and there seem to be more each year. 

Karal is looking for her friends and not happy that they departed. She likes company because I'm just boring. She never knows which person she wants to drive nuts first. She simply loves attention.

Okay, Saturday...I need to get things done. Ir really did work on the holiday stuff for about 12 hours yesterday and haven't finished. Of course, I also cleaned and organized, too...so there's that. I still need to do more.

Onwards.
