Re: “It has been a Blessed and wonderful day in our household today. I hope that everyone else has had a wonderful day as well.”Let's call this "The Christmas that wasn't." We didn't put out the Christmas decorations. We DID unpack our Charlie Brown 18-inch tree, but we left the 5' artificial tree in its box and didn't buy a real one. I put one present under our tiny tree and that was the only present it received.
I did get a nice jacket from my mother-in-law, and a few other gifts from friends and family. My wife gave me a beautiful red "amberina" dish containing cadmium and gold. Like uranium glass, amberina fluoresces under a black light - but it glows RED. I gave her a new set of headphones since she needed them.
So, it was a very, very simple day. I did some reading about cancer and took a nap.
We skipped making a Christmas dinner this year. In fact, it's a little after 9 p.m. and I'm a bit hungry so I may nuke a potato and dig some leftovers out of the 'fridge.
BUT, my wife tested negative for Covid-19 today! If I go another two days without getting sick, it means that I dodged that bullet, or the ivermectin I've been taking turned Covid-19 into such a wimp that I didn't even notice that I had it.
It was sunny and 41° here today. There's no snow, but there are many tire ruts out back where water has pooled. They're full of ice. I read that there was a blizzard in Nebraska yesterday but that the nation is otherwise snow-free. Wild.
Our plan now is to make ourselves a really nice meal in a week. Assuming that the house is still Covid-free, and we're feeling more festive, that is. That'll be New Years Day.
In future years, I'm sure we'll have more of the Christmas spirit than we did this year. But with no visitors, Covid-19, lots of construction hassles still going on, and my recent medical issues, we just never felt it.
