If you were happy doing that, then I say good.

We celebrate big on Christmas eve, and kind of enjoy the day on Christmas. I mostly watched great christmas movies in between cleaning up one room at a time, and putting presents away.
I was TIRED! Still am this morning, but still some more dishes and laundry putting away to do. Had leftovers from Christmas eve to eat.

Spoke with my children, and fed the grandpuppies. Saw a deer eating near the road,on the way to feed the grandpups, and flocks of Canadian Geese flying to settle down for the night, a beautiful sunset and no SNOW~

Today I hope to finish up the dishes (putting them away)
having lunch with my friend/neighbor, and hope to run the vaccum over the house.

Hoping you all had a special holiday with family and friends.
Perfect!

Mary: Perhaps, next time, you can turn off the ringer on your phone, so you can sleep undisturbed.

Diana: Hope you can get some rest today. We don't want you to feel too tired.

I spent a relaxed morning, yesterday, sewing and reading. Later, went to my friend's house for a Christmas get-together and came home late. Did 2 loads of laundry, but that was all.

Today, I need to make up for being so unproductive, yesterday! LOTS to do, before guests arrive this evening!

JDIs for today:

- More laundry
- Quick tidy of the living room
- Quick tidy of the dining room
- LOTS of tidying up in the family room
- Ditto in the kitchen
- And the bedrooms!
- Clean both bathrooms
- NAG DD to get going on assembling her furniture!
- Clean out the fridge
- Grocery shop
- Cook dinner
- Pick up cousins at 6:00 p.m.

Send me the energy bottle, please!
