So, I didn’t do much at all today. Eric and I never did much on Christmas Day even when we were back in NY. Before his sisters all got dogs and cats, we would spend Christmas Day with his family – especially when the kids were young and we could enjoy them opening all their gifts.
In later years, they all adopted dogs and cats, which made it impossible for me to spend time in their homes, so we just stayed home on Christmas Day, which suited us just fine, because we were usually out at our friend’s house until 2:00am on Christmas Eve!
I woke up pretty early, spoke to Eric, and then just did pretty much the same thing as yesterday – cleaning (Conrad’s cage), organizing, typing (I got a lot done on my typing project – I’m about ¼ through the book I’m typing!).
My nose is STILL running whenever I’m not on DAYQUIL or NYQUIL which is really annoying. I don’t like to take the Dayquil at night, because I won’t sleep, but I don’t want to take the Nyquil too early either, because it makes me sleepy. So, sometimes I just suffer and blow my nose a lot!
There wasn’t much on TV today except Christmas fare. Even the decorating shows were all about Christmas decorating! I looked at the movies on PAY PER VIEW, but there wasn’t anything I really wanted to see, so I just did a lot of channel-surfing, between having my vegetable soup and typing! It was not a thrilling day, to say the least!
I spoke to Eric a few times and it turned out that he wasn’t feeling well and didn’t go to his sister’s house for Christmas Day. I think he was feeling a little down, because he’s missing me, and didn’t feel like socializing. It made me sad, because I was hoping he’d have a fun day with all the nieces and nephews and feel bad that he missed out on all that. I’m glad he still has a 3-day weekend to enjoy!
It was raining on and off again all day today. Even when it stopped raining the sun never really came fully out – it was pretty overcast. I had the door open for a while, while it wasn’t raining, and it felt great. I DO appreciate being here on Christmas Day and enjoying the warmer weather, although I was thrilled to hear that it was very nice today in NY – sunny and warm and beautiful! That was good news!
I’m looking forward to going out to dinner and the movies tomorrow night with Rosemary and Michelle. Should be a lot of fun. I haven’t seen them since the office party, so it will be great to catch up on all that’s going on in the office!
