Golly where to begin:

Moving into a hastily vacated apartment that definitely lacked a woman’s touch.

I had to clean everything. I also had to pack up the remainder of the last tenants belongings to make room for my own things. Not cool. But I’ll have money taken off my rent.

I bought one last stocking stuffer - no, I didn't need it, but I think it will be fun. It is 10 tiny cans of Play-Doh. It will give us something to play with while we sit and watch Christmas movies.

I made a big pot of soup that will keep us fed until Christmas Day.

I looked up "Stollen" so I will know what it is when my friend brings me one she made. I hope it's good; her creations are sometimes hit or miss. No matter what, I will offer her a slice while we drink cafecitos and I will act like it's the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. Hopefully not much acting will be required.

I had a wee bit too much Jim Beam and ended up spilling some family secrets to the boy. He met more of them at the Christmas dinner a few days ago, so he had context. We laughed and laughed.

So far: I slept in and got up after I felt completely rested. I’ve also made a light breakfast of scrambled egg and veggie hash, and sipped on a cup of coffee. I’m getting ready to go to the gym and hope to swim to my hearts delight, then soak in the jacuzzi for a bit. I also plan to go for a bike ride if the rain lets up this afternoon.

- I cleaned the kitchen.

- I visited with a dear friend who came over for coffee, snacks and gifts.

- I baked some cookies for tomorrow.

- I absconded with the boy's Christmas stocking to make sure all the stocking stuffers would fit into it, and found the best packing arrangement.

- I selected a movie for this evening, A Christmas Wedding Tail. (It's about dogs.)

Is to be …. Amazing!

I got up super early to call AAA to have my car towed to the mechanic’s garage…. And then came home by bus.

I don’t plan to do much today except try to figure out what happened to my sleeping mask. If I’m lucky to find it, I might just take a nap this afternoon.

Feels good to do nothing.
