Holy shmoly, what a day! Up in time for the Monthly ABC Zoom. There were technical difficulties to begin but once we were on the conversation flows easily and it is great to catch up. I sure appreciate the Woodman’s hosting from Santa Barbara. The poor Hearndens and Yau’s couldn’t stay long as they are 6 hours ahead and lockdown was a going into the next level at midnight. Linda had to get her gifts delivered or it would be too late. They are fortunate as a family to have their adult children and a spouse living with them although I suspect the house could feel small at times. I cut out a bit early as I needed to get my kitchen functioning again. I planned out everything I may need and went to Home Depot. Got all the ABS bits and then stopped at the Dollar Store to see if they had containers to give away treats in. I couldn’t believe I had to stand outside in line… at the Dollar Store! It was very Peoply out there today! I did find some cool flip top items to use. Will take a pic when I use them. Grabbed some beer and Sean came over with his tote of plumbing supplies to help. I just couldn’t get under the sink with my vertigo. We got it hooked up and I will even have bits to take back. It was very satisfying and I love the sink very much. Can’t believe I am excited about doing dishes! no I am very grateful to the rent a husband.
Missy shot out the door around noon and didn’t return in time for me to go to the Campbells for dinner etc. I had to trust she would return eventually. At least I had put her collar on her and it has a bell so I will know if she is around. I had, some time ago bought a large side of Steelhead Trout and thrown it in the freezer. That is what we had for dinner tonight with mushroom rice and brussel sprouts. So good! I don’t mind bringing the food when Sean or Diane turn it into a delicious meal to share together. While waiting for it to be ready, Zoë and I began the gingerbread train I had bought the other day. Once we had all eaten, the 5 of us jumped in their vehicle and headed out on the Reverse Christmas Parade. It was the first year and all in all the resulting money and donations made it a huge success. The App was a bit challenging but we spent an hour out enjoying the lights. We stopped at my place and I called Missy again and she came running nearly 9 hours out exploring! Thank goodness, I guess I can stop worrying about her now. She knows where home is.
Upon our return it was decided we needed to watch another Christmas movie so Die Hard 2 it was! I am not sure why my right hop is acting up but thankfully the cool floor was a good place to stretch out and calm the happy legs.
