Dec. 27: Ahhh, December in Texas. It’s a nice day out today. Temperature in the mid-sixties, a little breeze, the air smells green and sweet. I can smell the breeze because I have the windows open.
Unlike my husband and son, who have been outdoors a lot this week, I have surprised myself by only venturing out a couple times. “How ridiculous!” I think. Why would I, who love a beautiful day, plant myself on a sofa for days at a time. Who knows, but I have certainly enjoying “slugging it.” I’ve knitting a bunch, ripped out everything I knitted because I forgot to reduce a few stitches for the armholes of Andrew’s sweater, and tried with only mild success to get my newly upgraded website gallery working fully.
It’s been a very relaxing and quite restorative vacation, despite my lack of motivation to enjoy the out-of-doors. We head back home tomorrow morning, and I’m then looking forward to four days of vacation at home before returning to work on Jan. 2. Maretta has a wedding shower on Saturday, and I’m looking forward to getting together with my family for a “Christmas” get-together on Dec. 30. The fun just keeps on coming!
