Becky and Talia did a wonderful job of putting up the Christmas tree and all the decorations. We have so many dog, cat, and animal ornaments and it looks very good. We have collected lots of ornaments over the years and all the dogs and cats have their own ornament. I know, we are crazy. That's part of life with animals.
The new tile is down and it looks great. I spent about an hour today getting the TV and all it's components back together. The amazing thing is they are all worked! The labeling paid off after all. Got a few more Christmas gifts to get and I will be done. Some of my family is hard to buy for, so I think they will get gift cards or something like that. These are my last few days of night shift and I will be a day worker. I have worked shift work most of my life and look forward to getting back to a "normal" life. I look forward to being able to bike to work and getting some exercise time back into my schedule. Of course I have never been normal so why start now!
