Some days are days of no accomplishments, but simply maintaining the normal flow of things. Today was such a day. Rest and then, more rest. I still tend to walk around with tense shoulders, but here in bed now, all is well.
Tomorrow, oldest daughter and I are going out to lunch and then to putter around at the shops. I make that sound maybe more quaint than the reality, but we are determined to find some out-of-the-way spots to browse. No heavy-duty shopping, but lighthearted fun. Hoping.

*Next week promises to be a tad busy, with a call from my mom yesterday asking me to make some spaghetti for my out-of-town brother's visit to her from Tuesday through Thursday. We'll shop for her Monday morning, make food, then take it over and clean her house in a company-coming fashion.
*Then Tuesday, we'll go over to the antique shop where Woodboy has his shop and clean for his landlady. Her life is overwhelming difficult now (husband with Alzheimer's & a recent robbery at her home) so a clean antique shop might brighten up her day.
*Then....wait for it.....more to do. This will be fun, though. Church dinner on Wednesday, ornament (Chrismon) making---lots of glitter, singing caroles, and my very favorite past-time will be the Christmas pageant. I love it.

But this weekend, hopefully we'll find a tree. Simple meals. The calm before the so-called storm of Christmas. Not a big fuss at our house, but we tend to make it sort of quiet. And the kids are agreeable to that.
You take care.
You take care.
