Another great weekend! I decorated the tree, and I must say, it is the prettiest I've ever had. The gifts are wrapped and under the tree. Christmas cards are out. The house is decorated and stockings are hung. The table is set with my Christmas China, in anticipation of a lovely holiday feast. Putting together the menu now. Also, I planned out my holiday events, and coordinated them with family members. After all that excitement, I went to my mother's home and helped her. We put together her outdoor snowman, and dug out several of her Christmas decorations. She has a beautiful Lenox China coffee set. Then, we went out to dinner and watched the city fireworks. As nice as the 4th of July. Lastly, I drove her to some huge, grand homes that I hoped were decorated. They were breath-taking. So, that was Saturday. Sunday, I went to work. The psychiatrist I work with never made it in. He had too many people from his private practice who were in distress. Ours is a burn out profession, and it was easier to see in someone else, than in myself. Retirement can't come too soon. I have a good week planned. Will take Thursday off from work to celebrate my son's defense, to attend a friend's tea, and get some work done on my car.
