I wanted to watch Christmas Day NFL, but of course those games were on a subscription service (Netflix). So now I say “Fuck the NFL. You can’t keep your commercial-laden broadcasts!”. Bah! Humbug!
Wordle: four, my starter was GRUMP
Connections: perfect, Green > Purple > Blue > Yellow
We were out & about for the 1st game, 2nd game was boring, so we quit watching.
I did enjoy the Beyonce half time show. Her Cowboy Carter album must need some sales, I actually listened to it out on a walk one day -(apple music has it) I enjoyed it.
Wordle in 5.
The Starlink antenna is mounted on the roof. I figure if that mount ever fails, the roof is not far behind. Now to run the cable into and back out of the crawlspace.
Debbie made a pork Wellington for Christmas dinner. It was quite tasty, but not sure it was worth all that extra work. One of her other specialties is a pork tenderloin with dijon sauce and it’s at least all that. The apple pie was one of her better efforts- my request.
“Working” today, interspersed with hunt activities. It should certainly be quiet.
A half hour on the trainer last night.

we’ve done beef wellington a few times, it’s a fun idea, it’s very labor intensive – but is it worth all that effort, probably not. Its something to do………..
We had a very regular 2 days –
Ramen then to a K-pop restaurant for a drink after on Christmas Eve.
Waffle House and then Red’s Beer Garden in the afternoon.
Allan decided we needed Skyline for dinner.
google needed for Wordle today –
Connections has been Conniptions for the past few days -but today – I really wasn’t sure, but guessed anyway, because I don’t really care when I get them wrong.
And then – it was a PERFECT day.
And – I matched Paulie’s order – Green > Purple > Blue > Yellow
Connections- Purple, green, yellow, blue.
Christmas on Wednesday has screwed up my week. I keep thinking today is Friday.
I kept thinking yesterday was Saturday – I almost forgot to set my alarm last night. (although, I almost always wake up before it does off, so it doesn’t really matter if I set it or not)
Wordle in 5 using Paulie’s word. No mistakes in Connections: P, G, B, Y
7 mile run on Christmas Eve. Spent the afternoon with mom and my brother.
Spent Christmas morning at a friend’s watching her kids (all grown) open up an insanely amount of gifts while doing fireball shots. Breakfast was awesome. Didn’t feel like driving down to Red’s is I started a puzzle instead. Might finish it this morning. I can’t let puzzle just sit. hahaha
Working this afternoon to try and get inventory done while the store is closed. It’ll be just two of us.
I’m just glad to get through another Christmas. It has lost its meaning on me over the years. Mostly just makes me sad.
I guess I have no feelings, as most holidays are just days to me anymore.
I don’t let it get to me one way or the other.
I’ve never been a good gift giving person, I don’t like to buy something, just to buy something. If I see something I think would be perfect for someone, I’ll buy it & give it to them whenever – not for their birthday, not for Christmas, just when I see them.
Now – regifting parties are fun. But – trying to remember to not take certain things because someone might be there & see its being regifted – that is hard.
I think those of us who are childless have a tougher time getting excited by the holiday. And not being particularly religious…
Yep. As I went to bed I realized that it was just another Wednesday…
I made a delicious beef (Irish) stew in the crockpot yesterday. My vegetarian tendencies are waning along with the memories of the good times I shared with the person who made it easier to eat that way. My cardiac health may swing me back in that direction, but until then there are leftovers to eat!
I am now staring at a legion of cookbooks. I can’t live long enough to cook half of the recipes within them, so in 2025 I might start paring them down by donating some to little libraries around the neighborhood.
I have so many cookbooks too – but I tend to just look up the recipes on the internet
Yeah, I am trying to break myself of that habit. And if I can’t, it will make it a lot easier to donate books.
Finished my jigsaw puzzle. I want to walk it to a neighborhood little library for jigsaw puzzles, but it’s nastier out than I’d like it to be in order to walk.
I went out to the mailbox, to test the weather – I don’t think I feel like walking – its not nice out.
I just returned from a hit of a hate walk. I took my puzzle to the little library, then walked enough to get three miles. I’m still filled with hate and fat, but at least i accomplished something.
I went over to the Senior Center & did some weight training, I bet I over did it – since I haven’t done any weights in forever.
And a little cardio on a bike & elliptical – I feel so uncoordinated on the elliptical – I can’t do it very long.
