It's Over

Yay, It’s over.

Christmas day with Paula was a total blast. We went for a morning walk, all three of us, and then we came home to Zoom.  We had a spectacularly fun and long call with David in London, then Dwight in Vancouver, and then Steve in LA, all of whom love Paula. And then we got busy with lunch.

The ham was four pounds. We put it in at 11:00, and that meant we’d be eating just before 2:00. We had broccoli, carrots and mashed potatoes to go with it, and lemon meringue pie for dessert. Yum. And then we snacked whenever we wanted to during the remainder of the day, and we watched a play (Present Laughter), chatted and laughed together until bedtime. We both went to bed early.

We had a great day together, and now Christmas is over and thank God. Now we must get through all the end-of-the-year lists and talk of resolutions. Then silly season is over, and we are delivered into a fresh start, a new year. I am so ready. My hope is that 2025 brings a solution to my energy and breathing issues, and I know it will bring another visit with David (from London, UK). He’s planning to come in June. 

Paula leaves mid-day to return home. I’ve to take her to the 1:30 ferry. I’m very grateful for her for coming to pass the holiday with me. I’ll pass the afternoon very, very gently reading. I have lots of leftovers.
