The service was very nice and my husband did a great eulogy. It was nice having everyone together and we had great fun going through old pictures. The cats are mortally offended that we left them for such a long time. We aren't breathing a word about Christmas travels lest they act out more.
Since we won't be able to spend Christmas all together this year, Guitar Guy and I are having a celebration with Nicole and Patrick next week and then with the Iowa clan for the actual holiday. We had planned to do a brunch but Nicole will be coming off 3 days of 12 hour shifts and probably won't be moving until the afternoon. We determined the quiche and pumpkin pancakes can certainly be served in the evening so all is good.
Christmas shopping is mostly done and shouldn't take long to wrap. Christmas letter isn't even started but I do have envelopes. Baking probably won't happen, for which my spreading waistline is grateful. Unfortunately with my trip to Florida, Rowan's stocking won't be done for this year. But I've got next year covered! I may try to get his dinosaur sweater done. It uses intarsia on the sleeves to make the steggie plates. Since I've never done that, we'll see if I can figure it out.
Off to take more decongestant for the lousy cold I came home with :-(

Bless your dear heart. What a hard time this is for you, and how bravely you are going at it. You have full permission to spend a whole day in bed if you need to. I promise,the world will not come to an end if you do.
Thanks Roxie. I'm going to tell everyone who asks that you gave me permission :-)
Hope you feel better soon, it's rough being sick this time of year.
