I had a very fruitful Sunday. We skipped church, which is abnormal, but Abby wasn’t well on Saturday and Jessica and I decided laying low was best for her, and I had no commitments. I’m relatively sure I’m not going to hell for it, but its not a practice I intend to make a habit of for other reasons 🙂 But I accomplished a whole lot: I fixed an electrical outlet that’s been broken since we moved in, I hung Christmas lights on the front gutter. I purchased a Christmas tree, mounted it on the stand, which we later decorated. I also fixed my gas grill which had had an obstruction in the gas tube. Abby and I snuck out and spread Christmas cheer while we bought Jessica a Christmas present or three. I bought the presents, Abby said Merry Christmas to nearly every passer-by. Only a few people actually said ‘Merry Christmas’ back to her. I think I did other things, too, but I can’t remember. It was a busy day, but I’m stoked to have gotten so much done. I know that working on a honey-do list doesn’t sound like fun, but checking things off on that list feels really, really good.
And best of all you spent that time with Abby…what precious memories you are building!
