OK so I kind of recapped on Friday; here are a couple photos from running the Turkey Trot on Thursday morning then when we sat to eat.

As mentioned in my Friday post, I got sick. I NEVER get sick! Around 11 on Friday I put myself in bed because I was just so tired! Like, body tired. It was a nice little nap, to be honest. When I woke up, I heated up leftovers for the family and I went to Publix for soup. When I got home, my middle and husband were watching Planes, Trains, and Automobiles so I caught that about halfway through.

Ash was determined to build the crown; we made brew club more interesting this year by keeping a tally of who brought the most homebrew to meetings and then we promised a crown for the winner. He’s been thinking about it for months now but finally enacted his plan. It’s silly and we already know who the winner is, i.e. whose head it will sit atop, but it’s done.

We also got down all the Christmas stuff on Friday and the younger two began setting up.

Decor is up with the exception of my party stuff, which includes a lot of dollar store garlands hanging from beams and around door frames. I will work on that throughout the week, since brew club party is this Saturday then our annual party, the following Saturday.

Anyway, the weekend proper was pretty laid back; more Christmas decorating, etc. On Saturday we went out for Mexican and took naps and watched movies (Blow Out and Ghost World). Elliot had to work both days and the other two hung out with friends. I slowly began feeling better, though everything is draining now and I have this annoying cough.

I made burgers on Sunday and we watched football. The temps have been consistently low 30s/mid 60s, which means I just don’t feel like doing anything! Fair to say, I did many little things I meant to do: go to the outdoor store we have that does Christmas up big and get a new pickle for the tree (ours broke last year), and also, to Beall’s for a new Xmas soap dispenser. I took photos in my coastal bathroom for a Facebook group I joined.

Alas, what you don’t see is the ceiling that is stained and now, has a worse leak coming from somewhere on the second floor. If anyone takes a bath, a bubble of water slowly forms. It goes away as people don’t use one of those upstairs bathrooms but ugh. Now we have to call a plumber today. Not looking forward to seeing what the problem is.

It’s still freezing today and you know, we Floridians don’t do too well with this. I have on two pairs of socks! The heat is running but the room I use my computer in is pretty cool. I will be working diligently throughout the day and we’ll plan our outings around whenever the plumber can get here.

OK, that’s about it; see y’all tomorrow.
