The maid is invading my space today. The stairs to the attic where the Christmas decorations are is in my room (a converted garage). Mom is having her drag down Christmas ornaments from the past 50+ years. Annoying. Mom can be stubborn. She gets an idea in her head and is like a dog with a bone. What we are going to do with 50+ years of ornaments is beyond me. I have things to do and I can’t do them right now.

Yesterday was slow and quiet. I got my labs done. I watched Elf with mom while eating taco soup and sipping hot chocolate. I don’t usually like Will Ferrell but Elf was good. I talked to my daughter for 45 minutes. It was a nice day.

There’s a route listed in the paper to see the best Christmas lights in our town. I’m going to take mom in the next few days. I’m looking forward to that. I’ve got the Christmas spirit.

I hope everybody has a peaceful day.
