Plugging along

Yesterday was more of the same - working on taking Christmas stuff down. It's a lot! LOL. Every year I tell myself I'm not going to put out as much next year.....haha.

I got the sheets washed on the guest bed and remade that and took off the Christmas duvet, so that room is all back to normal. Some reindeer and trees got put back in their big boxes. I took the decor off the table in the entryway and the guest half bath and set it in a pile on the coffee table, since all the bins are still up in the closet. DH was too busy and tired after taking down all the outside lights and I'm in no hurry. I'll have him get those storage bins out of the upstairs closet today. I took the lights off the tree next to the staircase. Took the tree skirt from under the big tree. Amos was not happy about this. He likes to nap on it. I had a little Christmas "village" (it's just one house with accessories) that was my mom's and got that put back in it's box.

It pretty much rained all day yesterday, but dh came back inside and had remembered he now has a lightweight rain jacket I had gotten him for our Alaska cruise, so he put that on over his coat and kept dry. It was strange weather, it would get cloudy and rain and then the sun would come out for a bit and then cloudy and rain and then sun again. But, he got it all taken down and put away and didn't have to freeze doing it, since the temp was almost 40.

Before Christmas dd had asked for some gift ideas from me. I did get 2 of the things on my list (the canisters and some books). I was thinking yesterday I should just order the other 2 things (just small/not expensive items) but then I remembered I have a birthday next month and she might get me those for my birthday LOL, so I'll wait ;) Next month is my 61st birthday and our 40th wedding anniversary. 

Hard to believe in a few days it will be 2025.
