Shortest day, longest night. Daylight will now start to get longer. I wrapped five presents, got delay of game from the friendly neighbourhood flu bug. My car is all nestled in the garage waiting for me to hit the ground running. I didn’t want it to go this route, it is what it is. I’ve done it before, seven kids, university classes, storms galore, crossing the finish line at Christmas Eve. I remember my oldest girls doing all the Christmas baking without being asked. Our family is a team in the crunches of life.
I got 15 hours sleep in the last 24 hours. I would say it is a waste, but the body knows. I knew that power outage was going to get my immunities out of whack. However, I will do this! Body says sit, brain says go. I need a clone. I need time. I need a nap.
My star keeps falling off the top of the tree. I used to have an Angel but she was always bungee jumping off the top. I can’t reach up there properly! Who needs a tree topper anyways? I am pretty lucky the kitty has left the tree alone, if anything the dog wants the tree skirt for a bed. It does look comfy. Christmas is a comfortable season. When you get to take a minute and look at it. Something very comforting in the silence and in the decorated spaces. We create the stress really. Be sure to take a minute, put everything aside and just look at it. I think I will grab a pillow and lay under the tree with the dog.
