Louis Dean and I are in recovery mode from all the excitement of the last few days.
We have literally been sitting by the fireplace all.day.long.
It's only 6:35 and we're already talking about going to bed.
We still have our jammies on!
We have sipped hot coffee, hot tea, rubbed Vick's on our chest (it is such a comforting smell!), drank lots of water, ate leftovers with little clean up. I have read my books, taken a nap, cleaned out a drawer or two in the den looking for my 2014 Country Diary that I have put SOMEWHERE but can't find.
My hands are so dry I have kept this Lavender Body Butter my niece made on them all day.
Normally I work with my hands a lot so today was a good opportunity to let them rest.
We have watched more TV today than we usually watch in a WEEK!
Right now we are finishing up a Christmas Movie we taped earlier in the season.
I think every once in awhile we simply have to STOP and just BE!
Today was that day for us.
Linda, that sounds like a perfect ending to the wonderful craziness of Christmas. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI agree there are days we just have to stop. Today was yours. Hope you get the rest you need tonight.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had a fire tonight. I was just telling my husband that we haven't burned a fire in a while. The temps have dropped so it would be nice to have one. Sounds like a great day to sit in your pj's and read and nap. Maybe we'll get to do that tomorrow. It's Saturday and we don't have to do anything!
ReplyDeleteI think today is that day for us. We are exhausted. Oh that the bod would keep up with the brain. Glad that you enjoyed a day of rest.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great day for you both:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I should sit by the fire too, but it's 78F here, SO NO FIRE...just sitting by it, lol! Yes, it's always lots of work, I usually have to do my C'mas, help my mom with her C'mas Eve luncheon party and yesterday was her 84th. b'day and I had another small lunch for us! I love C'mas, but happy it's over, lol...Big hugs sweet friend.

Sounds like your day is from "A Wonderful Life"....What a perfect day. I just purchased a large 2014 calendar for the top door of the refrigerator. I live by that calendar.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! We are enjoying the holidays with our extended family, but I will definitely be ready to get home and take a few days to recover!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Linda! I think our bodies and minds tell us when we have had ENOUGH! And if you need to do it again tomorrow, go for it!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
I haven't accomplished anything today. After all the hub bub of shopping, wrapping, prepping, cooking, party, cleaning and more cooking, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and then collapse.
ReplyDeleteWe all deserve a day of doing nothing and staying in our jammies and watching TV. You two give and share so much.
