I sent Perry a text yesterday morning letting him I know I was taking down the Christmas trees and packing away every reminder of the holiday. (Yes, being so late doing so is out of character for me… but I’ve been sick.) His reply text was to ask me if it made me sad.
Well, now that you mention it…
I’ve said here before I love Christmas lights and the build up before the festive holiday — but honestly, I love the feeling of having everything back to normal too. Just like I love the change of seasons, I love the change inside my home. Both trees are stored, and the places they shone brightly are now like Christmas never even happened.
I didn’t do it on New Year’s Day — none of it, actually.
Yesterday I did 100 loads of laundry. By waiting until after 1/1/25, I saved everyone’s life that I might’ve had to do laundry for upon their death. Matter of fact, I refrained from doing ANYTHING on New Year’s Day. Yesterday was make-up day! In addition to Christmas cleanup, I also had dinner in the crockpot ready, the trash out, the house cleaned, swept and mopped. TADA!
Now that I’m finished with all that, the main thing on the agenda for today is delivery of my pre-winter storm grocery order. I’m nervously waiting to see if I get any of the eggs, milk and bread that are on my list.
Happy Friday, y’all! 🙂
Now you know: Masabumi Hosono was the only Japanese passenger on the Titanic. While he survived, he was severely condemned in the United States and Japan. His account of the sinking of Titanic remains the only document to be written on Titanic stationery.
