I never even had a single thought that Alabama would win, but they did. Saturday: While the rest of you were busy doing seasonal events, TheHub and I spent our afternoon doing something really important. Between the handbells, dancing, and singing along with the play it was a most wonderful way to begin the holiday season. Just estimating, I think there were a couple of hundred folks at the 2 o'clock performance and they had a second one at 6 which, I imagine, had a higher attendance. They put on a couple of productions each year and it serves as part of their outreach program as well as a fundraiser.

Unless U is an educational/recreational program for adults with special needs. There are always good and joyous things out there if we just look for them.ДЇriday: Son2 and I went to a production of A Christmas Carol. So that sums up the joys (and slight trial) for the week. I am very lucky to have her as a sister in law and we made plans to meet in Tuscaloosa (halfway between us) next week for dinner so the brothers can see each other also. Her's has had the most change since she has two new grandson's added to the tribe this year. We had great conversations and caught up on what has been happening in our lives. Joy! It happened at the perfect time so I could meet my SIL who was in town for a doctor's appointment. Thursday: I woke and felt substantially better. One big joy was getting a Christmas card from a fellow blogger. I did chores that were pretty easy on my body and required little bending or twisting. Though I should have deep cleaned the den and the kitchen, I didn't. I woke in a little worse shape than I had been, and the bruising looked a bit worse than it did the day before. Bad move on my part, and lesson was learned. Wednesday: Tuesday night I went to bed and did not make a pillow tunnel to keep me from moving in my sleep. Additional joy is that C has padded dining room chairs which made sitting possible. My joy was sharing time with some of my most favorite people. We met once this summer at an outdoor restaurant and this is only our second time together in 2 years. C's house is a Christmas wonderland, and the perfect setting for us to get together. I am sorry she was unable to come but we still had fun. Tuesday: My book club ( there are 5 of us) met for our annual Christmas party with the exception of one member. Laughter did not hide the bruises and did not make me walk any straighter, but there is something therapeutic that comes with it. It was nice to have someone to be with me and make fun of me while I was hobbling down the hall. Monday: After the accident Sunday night I was not feeling great Monday, but My Beloved Sister and I had a mid morning meeting with the attorney that we had to keep.

When I was getting out I misstepped and fell from the top of it onto the concrete. We purchased a Jacuzzi and it felt wonderful while I was in it. Baking was finished and a huge mess was made!ДЄfter watching the show we decided to get into our newly installed all year present to each other. Wednesday: This was cookie baking and gift wrapping day. We met TheHubs brother and our SIL for delicious food and a lot of laughs! After I got home I had just enoughВ timeВ to change into clothes suitable for a dinner in Tuscaloosa.

Tuesday: I finished the Christmas shopping which is bleak this year, but no one needs or really wants anything and I refuse to buy simply to have presents o'plenty under the tree. But just when we think everything is in order the investment firm comes up with yet another thing that needs to be authorized and signed. Ugh! They are helping us navigate some investment issues and I appreciate it, and need them to translate the legalese to make sure our big fat fannies are covered. Monday: Back to the lawyers with my sister. After riding all through Pepper Tree (where we saw the most over the top display I have ever seen celebrating everything from the nativity, to Santas, to elves, to pac-man chasing binky) we had dinner with them at a new restaurant near their house. That evening we went to see the ultimate Christmas light display with Son2 and DIL2. Sunday: The day was beautiful and we got our yearly charities tended to and in the mail. I got some things done, but then we started watching Succession. Saturday: It was a rainy day so we stayed home all day Saturday, except for TheHub's recreational shopping trip. There were a good many people there but the space is large and there was plenty of room to spread out. These are some of my joys for this past week Friday: We had TheHub's office party at the Birmingham Museum of Art.
