LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD WEEKEND
This should be a better weekend. There is nothing spectacular that has to be done. The past several weekends have been brutal with so many activities in which to be involved. Beside morning church service, several weekends there were things that stretched into the afternoons on Sunday. It was mentally and physically exhausting. I looked forward to Mondays to be able to go back to work and I dreaded each weekend because of the energy-draining required activities
But this one should be different. Karon and I took Wednesday off and got some things accomplished. We don't have any definite commitments except Church Sunday morning. We're sort of "on top of" our gift giving plans. We just have to get out our Christmas letter. That is the goal for this weekend. We've "downsized" as far as home decorating goes. I just couldn't get the boxes down from the attic and Karon is physically unable to help me with the Christmas Tree lights and decorations, etc. At first I thought we'd just skip decorating all together because of our physical constraints. But then I decided Karon needed some semblance of "normalcy" as far as our Christmas is concerned. So we went to K-Mart and bought a small Martha Stewart pre-decorated tree--lights and all! Then we bought a couple of cute little decorations to set around the house to sort of make it look like Christmas. I was able to find our nativity scenes and get them down. With those up in the house and a few other decorations and a few small balls on the tree, the atmosphere isn't too bad. It works for us this year.
I hope the weather isn't too nasty. Just so we can get out to church and attend to any errands need to be accomplished.
