I spent most of yesterday in bed. I had a fever, and I wasn’t feeling up to much.
Today my temperature is still elevated, but it doesn’t classify as a fever anymore. So I guess I’m cured and had better get to all the Christmas prep that I dropped when I got sick.
Yeah, that’s not going to happen. What is going to happen is that I’m going to do a couple of necessary loads of laundry, and I’m going to do a bit of necessary cleaning, and I’m going to wrap the presents, and that is probably all that I’m going to do.
I don’t feel very Christmassy, but I am feeling grateful, because there’s a lot of bright side today. I didn’t finish my Christmas shopping, but the kids will each have several presents to unwrap tomorrow. And even though we hadn’t planned to spend Christmas here, we decorated the tree last week, so we have a place to put the presents. The storm knocked out our power twice, but it came back fairly quickly both times. The storm also took down a tree and assorted limbs around the property, but did no real damage otherwise. We have plenty of food and drink. If we can just get a little more Christmas spirit going, maybe it will turn out to be a good holiday after all.
