OK. I’m back. Some days
that’s about as far as I go. Many mornings I wake up and just lay there praying
for the mental wherewithal to fling back those covers. Doing better, though.
Christmas was nice with Sarah
and Lia (and Diva) here. Did some crafts with Lia that were fun. Just wish I
had more time with her.
Since Tuesday was Epiphany,
we dismantled the tree. The tree is now in the attic, but until yesterday
afternoon the ornaments were still all over the kitchen table waiting for me to
box them up. This year I didn’t put many ornaments at all on the tree, and was
amazed at how nice it still looked. My first priority was getting the ornaments
that used to belong to Marv’s mom and put them on the tree. I still miss her so
much. Marv and I had debated about getting a smaller tree next year and giving
this one to Sarah. As were getting ready to pack it up, though, we realized
this is really a NICE tree. And the fact that I hadn’t put many ornaments on
did not take away from it. So we might end up keeping it. Sorry, Sarah…
Marv FINALLY got his CPAP
machine right after Christmas, and I was amazed at how quiet it is! The oxygen
concentrator was pretty darn loud, but I got used to it. This thing is
wonderful, though. I have to admit it creeps me out a bit to see him lying
there with the mask on, but I will probably be ending up with one as well.
Since getting our Smart TV
with the ability to watch youtube on it, we’ve been having a great time
watching old TV shows. Marv really likes the Combat episodes. My brother and I
watched that show growing up. Also The Rebel was another good old show. For New
Year’s Eve, we watched Alfred Hitchcock Hour episodes until midnight. Tons of
fun! Discovered some new authors as well, as most of those episodes were based
on books or stories by mystery writers.
So the New Year has begun.
And we carry on.
