i wrote a little, read a little, watched all the frasier Christmas episodes that were available on netflix, watched die hard (yippie-ki-yay!), prayed the phone wouldn’t ring, took winston for a long walk since the weather was so nice (high 50s), played with kentucky, talked to no one (i did respond to a couple of texts), treated myself to a peppermint mocha from mcdonald’s, took a 45 minute nap (!), drank a little wine, ate a little brie, spoke to a father and his little girl on her new bike (complete with training wheels, streamers and a bell!) on my walk, missed my aunt jenny, skipped the family function (natch!) and watched winston devour a pigs' ear (a Christmas gift from my mom!) i don’t buy them, of course, since i’m a vegetarian!
i ate too much even though i didn't go anywhere and i have been maudlin and anxious all day. i'm glad it's over and all i have to do is go see my niece and nephew later this week and see what santa got them. they are used to my anti-Christmas stance and no longer question it, they just lump it in with my vegetarianism and my bookishness and write it off...bless their hearts!
i wish i could have made it to church this morning but i settled for watching it on-line. it was a beautiful service; i sang along, right out loud, just like i were there. i hope to be able to get past my anxiety and make it there in person next week.
grace and peace
It sounds like your day was relaxing and peaceful anyway. Love you and miss you bunches.
