Merry Christmas, folks!
I'm sorry about your friend's husband's passing, Debbie. We can employ any amount of logic about the march of time, but it hits hard when they just kind of go.
I never fell asleep last night, which made getting up early pretty easy this morning. Flight leaves in 2 hours.

Good morning, folks.
I got in TWO naps yesterday and I still slept last night. I was pretty exhausted. The allergic trigger from all the dust in the basement continues to linger and I'm rapidly going through my pocket full of fast food napkins as a result.
Cecilia has confirmed that she's coming back on Friday as planned. Her purpose for going to Brazil - getting her mom back on track - has been fulfilled, so she's ready.

Happy Tuesday, Lori - enjoy your time in Florida. Brenda. - happy holidays Louis - filling up dumpsters is hard work. You earned the naps. Yay, Cecilia will return soon. No more bachelor parties.
Today was a lovely beach day, 5 ladies walking off Christmas treats.

Good morning.
5 is a pretty sizable group, Debbie. I presume the weather was nice.
Yesterday was pretty much all estate work. Finally got the bank account opened, sent executor paperwork to the IRS, paid some bills and got a tally of how much I've spent already pending reimbursement ($30k and counting).
I rewarded that hard work with an afternoon nap and an early bedtime.

Happy Wednesday, Louis - clearing out the house has been really expensive so far. I haven’t seen a cloud in so long I had DD show me some during a phone call.
Today I went to the mummy exhibit with friends and Ted met us at the Christmas market for bratwurst. Winter weather is really nice.

Good morning.
Spanish bratwurst. 🤔
I think the allergies have decided to become a light cold. The head doesn't feel like a basketball, but the nose is always full of something and I'm just not 100%.
Cecilia will be back stateside this time tomorrow!

Happy Thursday, Louis - travel and stress, I hope you feel better soon. Yay on Cecilia’s return.
Today I did body balance and took a nice walk. We have clouds today, it’s been so long since we has clouds.

Good morning.
Heading to the airport in a bit to pick up Cecilia. House has been man-cleaned for her arrival and I presume she'll want to shower and sleep when she gets here.
Any NYE plans?

Happy Friday, Louis - good job cleaning. Happy home coming to Cecilia. We don’t have have any New Year Eve plans. We were going to have a January 2nd birthday celebration but plans changed.
Valencia is having NYE fireworks of course. Today I did body pump then we went downtown for a walk. It is really cold and cloudy today.

Good morning.
Yup. I've got some sort of sickness. I napped for 3 hours yesterday, went to bed early and slept about 11 hours last night. Head feels heavy, etc.
Austin does some sort of countdown/fireworks thing, but we won't be doing that. We have a dinner reservation at Lonesome Dove - a place I walk past regularly on my lunch hour wanderings. We'll be in and out before the party people head downtown.
And of course, area jerks like shooting off their own fireworks at midnight here, so there will be lots of terrified dogs.
The kitchen is bare, so I imagine that we'll have to go grocery shopping at some point today.

Happy New Year’s Eve, Brenda - hi Louis - I hope you feel better and Cecilia doesn’t catch it. Enjoy your dinner out. Lori and Lisa - love seeing your Facebook posts.
Tonight there will be fireworks at 4 locations, none super close to me. They will shake the whole city, all animals will be scared and I hope I’m woken to see some from the terrace. We went to a Titanic exhibit and lunch with friends yesterday, lovely time. This morning started with yoga. Ted is heading out to play paddle. It will be a quiet day with a glass of cava later.
I wish everyone a safe and joyful year.
