Up in the mountains or down by the ocean

Good morning my friends. I got up a little early today. I’ve been up on and off for a couple of hours. I’ve peed trice this morning. I was a little tossy turny, but it wasn’t too bad. And I was able to ignore the children playing in the bed room.

But yeah, I got out of bed a little early. I figured that it might be a little better if I did that, as the alarm will be set today, for a very early wake up call tomorrow.

Christmas Day went off without a hitch. We had Christmas dinner with my gramma for lunch yesterday. The old folks home does a really good job on the turkey lunch. Just a couple questionable items on the plate; including turnips.

After lunch Crystal and I split away from my mom, and came home while my mom went home, and took a nap. We went to The Flat, and wrapped the presents for my parents. We got to Shady Acres and I was the one tapped to pass out the presents. I got a robe, and a couple of pairs of jeans, which were desperately needed.

After Christmas dinner, we packed up the Hot Mess Express with our Christmas gifts, and a bag full of leftovers, and drove back to our place where we had a low-key evening, and eventually went to bed.

Happy Boxing Day everyone. Don’t forget to get your servants a present.

Guten morgen everyone. Welcome to Boxing Day. I have to work this morning, so mentally I’m already preparing for the day. It’s dark, as per normal for this time of the year.

It was a really good day yesterday. We got up at the normal time, and I bought White Christmas, so that’s what we watched whilst having our morning coffee. It’s a long movie, so we finished up watching as Crystal put on her makeup.

From there, we popped over to Grammas, where we opened some presents, and chit-chatted for a while. Then we went into the activity room, and had a gorgeous scrumptious lunch. So technically I had Christmas dinner twice yesterday. The cook at the home is really good. Everything was from scratch.

I wasn’t to fond of the Watergate salad, and the Christmas pudding, but everything else was really good. After lunch, we walked my gramma back to her room, grabbed all of our jackets and hats and stuff, and my gramma led the way to the entrance. We all gave her hugs and kisses and we went home, and my parents – back to Shady Acres.

Crystal bought me Cult of the Lamb on the switch, so that’s what I tried out for a few hours before we had to be at Shady Acres. It’s a really fun and neat game. I have 5 followers in my cult.

We went over around three, mom put on Eddie Murphy’s Amazon Christmas movie – Candy Cane Lane. It was a cute movie, mostly predicable, but not too bad. I went into the kitchen and helped my mom with dinner, where I got a kick ass burn on my right index finger. I was transferring a cast iron frying pan from the oven to the counter, and the pot holder I had wasn’t a good one, and the heat jumped through very quickly. I managed to get it to the counter without screaming or swearing! It was a Christmas miracle.

It was a really really good day. We went to bed sleepy, those damn sugarplums dancing in our heads. I was up around 6, but managed to mostly fall asleep again until the alarm went off. And now here we are. I think it’s Tuesday.

It’s Boxing Day. So make sure you give gifts to your downstairs staff, they appreciate it.

I left your house this morning about a quarter after nine

The alarm went off, and I was not ready for it. It’s chilly out, and we have snow warnings today. Hopefully as the snow starts to fall, will be warmer out so we can get some good pictures.

I’m really happy that Crystal figured out how to work the timer on the coffee pot, it’s amazingly nice to stumble out after the alarm has gone off, to see that the coffee is ready.

I think today we’ll work on some Warhammer, and then lots of snuggles on the couch.

But first, coffee and snuggles ❤️
