Holiday Review
Jan. 4th, 2021 11:52 amBack to my routine today, getting up wasn't bad, I managed to go to bed at a reasonable hour and didn't have my usual pre return anxiety. We really really need to get that underfloor heating fixed because it's damn cold upstairs, fine to sleep in, I actually prefer it quite cold, but getting out of bed and into a shower is hard at around 12C.
We took it easy this Yule, the tree went up a couple of days before the solstice but we didn't decorate right away which I think contributed to Toaster's not climbing all over it when the ornaments were on. Our butcher got his dates wrong so we had chicken instead of duck for Yule but damn it was an excellent chicken, just perfectly cooked juicy on the inside with crisp flavoursome skin on the outside. Despite financial constraints, we all got amazing presents and everyone was happy, I can't say how much I appreciate the new Garmin, it gives me a freedom to go where I want without the anxiety of getting lost. Kate loves her new stompy boots and Mom's books are over half read already.
I was vaguely planning to get some stuff done in the house but I'm happy to have just rested and played WoW, Shadowlands is amazing, the stuff that's pending will get done soon enough.
Tomorrow is the twelfth day of Christmas so decorations are going to come down. We sorted and passed on stuff we didn't need and we've resolved to fix any of the birds that are broken so that everything is ready to go again next year.
Good riddance to 2020, time to keep our connections strong and build new ones because 2021 isn't going to be easy but we can do it.
