Whew! We've had a busy day. I started mine with a treadmill session and resistance exercises. Once I was ready for the day, we began decorating for Christmas. First, Mother and I took down the fall decorations and packed them away in plastic totes that Hubbie took out to the storage shed.
While we were taking down the decorations, Mother and I watched another TV channel's broadcast of the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade," which I'd recorded on DVR yesterday.
After lunch, Hubbie and I assembled the Christmas village on the mantel. This is usually a task that frazzles both our nerves, but today it went surprisingly well, and was accomplished in record time.
But by the time we were finished, it was lunchtime. Since I was feeling a little "off" today, I fixed myself a ham and egg substitute scramble with cheese, and had a slice of yeast bread with it. Hubbie opted for a ham sandwich with cranberry sauce, and Mother made herself a turkey sandwich, with cranberry sauce.
After lunch, we dealt with the Christmas tree in the living room. Before we started, Hubbie tested all the clear mini-lights, and found a couple of strands not working. So he decided to go to the WDCS to buy more, and also service the van, since we will be traveling to another town to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with his family. The dinner is being postponed til tomorrow, because one family member had to work yesterday.
When Hubbie got back home, we proceeded to string the lights, plus pearl garlands, on the tree. It took a couple of hours to hang the ornaments, most of which are clear or white.
We took a break to have a supper of, you guessed it, leftover Thanksgiving Day food. It was 6:30 p.m. before we finished trimming the tree. Mother went home after that, and Hubbie and I collapsed in front of the TV.
Tonight, we watched a couple of one-hour shows, as well our favorite college basketball team as they played to a disappointing loss. Phooey.
