I was up in the middle of the night, wrapping presents. There was a big storm here, lots of rain and wind. When I woke up this morning, around 8, there was no power but only for about an hour. I was going to make lasagna but my daughter said she just wants cocktail franks in a blanket appetizer-type things, so I’ll make that. It’s kind of not a whole lot different than any other day off, but that’s ok. I like not being obliged to go visiting or anything stressful.
A friend still has no power so I called another friend and asked him to go over and get her generator started. Her husband is out of the house recuperating from surgery so she was kind of stuck, and it sucked because it’s Christmas and she was saying she can’t cook. She told me she was grateful to me and for my friend helping her.
On a morning show today on TV, the host was saying it’s nice this year to not have any distractions and stress, and just be able to enjoy being home and focusing on family and whatever you want to do.
