SherryeB's Journal, 08 Dec 23

Back to the Gym today. We took Wednesday & Thursday off. I was busy, though continuing the decorating. Yesterday, I also did several loads of laundry.

We stopped after the Gym & I bought 3 strands of white LED lights. I think that should be enough for the pine garland I want to hang on the back deck rail. It is supposed to rain over the weekend, so I hope I get a chance to finish that.

I hung the lighted garland around the front door & the front porch yesterday & finished arranging the decor on the front porch. I've been puttering....adding a bauble here & there to finish off each room. I did the center piece on the dining room table. I also did table settings, but Hubby reminded me we'll set up the appetizer buffet on the table for our Christmas party. As our family has grown, we started doing appetizers for the past few years instead of a sit-down meal. We realized after eating the usual appetizers, we were full anyway & didn't need a meal. And we don't have to come up with seating at a table for 20ish people.

I started putting empty boxes back in the attic. Since we're having a house full, I want them all out of the way.

Well, I need to turn all the Christmas lights off & get to bed. Teddy woke me up at 6 again this morning & I took him out. I didn't fall back asleep til around 8 & was up by 9. Yesterday I was up before 8....early for me. Maybe tomorrow morning he won't wake upbtil his normal time.
