A nice day off!

Vacuumed the bedroom. Put away winter holiday ornaments & tree. Wrapped the last gift. (need to mail those before 3 Kings Day!)

Tent room is cleanish...next year I will try to get the tree up AND have the tent room clean. This year I just got the tree up and then the room was a chaos of wrapping paper and gifts to be wrapped and mess. Oh well. First year I've had my own tree, ever...we had a tree when fractallia lived with us, but it was her idea, her tree and mostly her ornaments and I was cranky and unpleasant about it (cuz I'm a jerk). This year was actually fun and happy-making to have a tree up and decorate it. Even taking the decorations down was pleasant and fun. Listening to/watching Invader Zim and a documentary on beer-making, Thax keeping me company and working on craft projects while I put ornaments away in boxes. The house smells like our new Scentsy warmer thingies that my sister and her husband sent. Yumyum.

I've been online on and off today; emailed some thank-you notes to family for so many wonderful, thoughtful, fun gifts.

Still need to make Peanut Butter Fudge & Rum Balls.

Thax and I had been talking about hitting Spec's for some Pimm's. We enjoyed a few Pimm's drinks at New Years Eve so we want a bottle of it for the house. I was surprised to find that it's based on Gin...I thought I didn't like gin and turns out I kinda do. But maybe just in distilled Pimms form :P

I just now got around to making lunch; red beans and rice out of a box, plus some Elgin sausage.

Life is good. I am happy not to be at work today. Home, getting stuff done. In my PJs with my sweetheart. Much more fun :)
