* Did the annual review of subscriptions, donations, and bonuses. (Jeanie, I did not forget WKAR!) And I quadrupled what we gave our sanitation worker last year. Not only were they so upright about things, they parked our trash bin inside our gates every single week!
* [Sorry this is whiny.] I thought my back was sore, and that it would get better. I thought this three days ago. It has NOT been getting better. Much worse, actually. I'd say pain scale of 6-7? It was so bad I took an ibuprofen today. I'm going to have to ask people to help me do so many things tomorrow.
* I'm all done with cards, decorating, baking, presents, holiday bonuses, and food prepping. It's Christmas Eve Eve. Deep breath! It's like putting on a show, no?
* Pic: I sat on the stairs for a few minutes in stillness taking in the tree. (I like knowing that two green clothespins hold the star upright and that I made the tree collar this year from an old lampshade I found at the thrift store.)

I'm so sorry about your back. What does your resident medical professional think? I hope you are able to rest it over the next few days.
Your tree is gorgeous! I am glad you took some time to admire it!
We made it to the finish line! I am so sorry to hear about your back, though. I bet the kids will be happy to help their mama, though! They adore you and want to help you! So don’t feel bad asking for help.
lol about your uncle’s comment about arguing with your aunt. Now he can say he’s a professional arguer!!
I had a dream recently that you took me to India…maybe it’s to see your uncle get his honors!
I’m so sorry about your back. What does the good doctor think? I’m always convinced it’s an internal organ going bad on me if it’s my lower back. It never has been though. Take it as easy as you can.
I love your tree. We don’t have a star on ours. We used to have an angel but I guess she went to heaven. We have a beanie baby sized Elmo instead. LOL.
This photo is stunning. It's so serene, yet joyful. It's very much like you.
I love the comment from your uncle. He must be a delight.
Give yourself the gift of rest this Christmas, and take care of your back. XO
I have to second what Nance said. Your home decorating skills are top notch. Way to create a lovely place everyone wants to be!
Take care of that back and get some rest!
Thank you, Steph. J's comment made me run for advice. It doesn't seem to be super serious, and I *think* it's getting better?
We made it to the finish line! lol, Lisa This really is a such a production, right?! You were so right about my kids <3
This comment was a rollercoaster! I would lovelovelove to go to India with you.
And I LOVE your Elmo tree!!!!
I panic checked with A and it seems likely not to be an internal organ issue. Because TMI here.........................
the pee is ok.
Thank you, Nance! I hope your Christmas was joyful with special surprises and delights!
Thanks, Engie! Hope you had a peaceful and meaningful holiday too. <3
Of course your uncle would be happy. I would be too! I love your tree and brilliant on the lampshade. And on behalf of WKAR, thank you. Donations are on my list for today, too. I hope you can get some relief for your back very soon. 6-7 is intense. Please don't hesitate, though I know you have good resident medical help right at home!
Thank you, Jeanie! XOXO
