We went to bed at 12:30 after a hard day on Friday. I got up at 1:45 to get something from my table in the living room. Tommy was sound asleep, holding the remote and tv on. I spoke loudly twice and told him to turn off the tv. He acted confused, and rightly so. Then, he just closed his eyes. I hate to yell at him, so I just went back to the bedroom. Just now, he said he turned it off.
I got up once more in the night to go to bathroom. The next time I woke was 11:15 am. I felt bruised all over. It is 8 pm and I still feel bruised all over. I had a sandwich for lunch and ate peanuts a few minutes ago.
There are leftovers--baked chicken breast and vegetables to eat, but I made something else. Chicken in soup, rice, cheese, 12 ounce package of broccoli, and pimientos. There is still taco soup, so I will freeze the rest of that tonight. There is still the other package of chicken thawing. I will cook it and have many packages of frozen breasts for other meals.
Tommy had to help me with this dinner, heavy help. It was also too heavy for me to try to put it in the oven. Dinner is late because I didn't realize how long it would take me.
Today, I started decluttering by cleaning out a bin of paper. Tomorrow, Tommy will go through the paper and get my name and person information off. I usually just rip my name off and put it in something gooey and wet. He cuts it off and takes scissors and gives it a good shredding. He will do this for hours each time. I remembered the other thing I wanted to get him for his birthday--a shredder. His birthday is on Dec 9th. When I have mentioned this before, he has yelled mightily and objected. I see this paper as a detriment to decluttering paper. So, we need this. It will help with decluttering.
Saturday, I went to visit the Tupperware lady who told me she would be there on this date. She has a tent in a parking lot and brought things to my car.
I went into Publix to get one thing on bogo and they did not have it out. I bought $43 worth of stuff that looked good and they finally found the item in the back--$5 more. In my defense, the pork loins were a good price and delicious. I will only buy this one quart of eggnog.
The Christmas cards for the exchange finally got stamps. I forgot where I put the Christmas stamps, so these got winter flowers in the snow.
That's it. Nothing else was done. I am in my snuggly nightgown with pockets. Dinner will be done soon. A Christmas Story is on TV. I love this movie! I asked Tommy if he ever wanted a BB gun when he was a kid. No. However, his father did buy him a shotgun for Christmas when he was about twelve-years-old. !!! His eleven-year-old brother received a shotgun the same Christmas. They lived in the city of Birmingham!
Dinner had an off taste, not sure why.
When you were little did you want a BB gun or get a shotgun?
How about your husband?
Your brothers or sisters?
Children?
Do you love A Christmas Story, also?
