A Day To Relax

Ahh The big day is all done and dusted ! Yesterday I stripped the turkey and made broth, skipped the fat off the made gravy and in the jar with the turkey juices and combined them. The delicious is now delicious . I somehow rearranged the fridge and got everything in ! LOL  Gifts have been put away and the decorations gathered up. And the filthy kitchen floor was washed ! I certainly spilled a fair number of things making Christmas Dinner !!

This morning I made turkey soup and then beef soup with the leftover roast beef and gravy. I managed to freeze  two servings of roast beef and gravy for later use. I'll package up some soup to make its way to the kids house.

ED came over  in the late evening to sit in the hot tub. Her back is in bad shape. Hopefully she had a good sleep last night and is on the mend. ES and YGS. Weren't able to go over to W's house as she went into emergency with her back. He'll phone later today to see how she is. I suspect, as she had a new kitchen put in, that the 4 days she spent organizing and putting things away, did her in. ED cleaned her fridge and that is what did her back ! Lesson-- don't clean and organize !!

Hubby had to go out and sweep the snow off the hot tub and clean the steps and  deck. He opened the top for her as that would have been too much of a strain on her back. Lots of pain there.

The  maternal grandparents loved the stockings that Liam gave them. I'm sure they would have been thrilled just to see Grandma and Grandpa  written on them. They will be off to China in the new year.
This was the first year that ho mention was made of the egg donor at all. It is as if she no longer exists.

Today I'll dust the floors upstairs and tidy up the closet.  Then it will time to relax !! Joining the rows of blocks is going to be a long task. It is taking me forever to join the first two !! Maybe it is because I  have been working on it for so long  and I'm getting tired ! But as all there is on tv is hockey [ everything else is a repeat ! ] So I'll soldier on.

YS should be home later this night. He only had to house and pet sit for two days.
The sun is shining brightly and the temps have warmed up. Hubby has just gone to check his lottery tickets and gingerbread houses. They certainly have not come down enough in price for us ! We'll have to keep an eye on them.

Another pyjama day I am thinking ! :)
