It's been a productive day, with tubs and trunks of Christmas coming in from the garage and their contents taking up residence for a month or so. The tree is stunning, with an elevated train half way up the trunk, and taller than any tree before in this house. Maybe surprising given the vaulted ceiling in the living room, but not so surprising given the finances of the past 35 years or so. It's a long time to basically live paycheck to paycheck, but I will not be whining just now.
We unpacked the dozen or so buildings in the Dickens Village and have decorated the mantle, the shelf above the TV, and the buffet, adding lots of trees, pinecones, and an assortment of characters and animals. It's all very fun, if exhausting, and tomorrow the paper trees go up to make our annual Christmas tree forest.
We didn't manage to get the outside lights up as so many others did in the neighborhood, but it felt more important to get the inside done first this year.
Today's Food:

Tomorrow's Food:
B: Oatmeal, blueberries, cream cheese
L: Vegetable (10oz) Turkey soup, apple

I'm thankful tonight that there is no pie in the house to tempt me, and that the fridge is in the garage so I don't have access to leftovers. That being said, I am hoping the repairman is coming tomorrow to fix the fridge. I'm looking forward to having room to do some batch cooking and having meals packed up in the fridge again.
Lord but I am tired.
