 Today was spent puttering. I didn’t feel super great so I did little bits at a time. I ended up napping for a little bit. 

Ethan’s friends spent the night last night. I didn’t know they were going to, so I went down stairs and woke one of them up a little after 6. I went back to bed to give them time to sleep in.

They spent the morning at our house. They left to go work on one of their trucks. Ethan stayed behind. They were supposed to come back but they didn’t ever make it.

Paul hung up Christmas lights. He was so excited because he bought new lights and they are controlled by an app. He is beside himself with joy. 

He was cracking me up because last weekend a neighbor started putting up their lights. Paul started to get Christmas light anxiety. He called this neighbor “direct competition” however, when probed, Paul admitted that the neighbor has no idea it is a competition. MEN!

Paul has been standing in the front window gazing at the property kitty corner from us. He is taking inventory and critiquing the house. I can see his mind churning with ideas to try to outshine (literally) the neighbors. I had to put a rule that we are NOT purchasing any more blowups.

I am glad he enjoys putting up Christmas lights. He has far more ambition than I do. I did bring up a few Christmas decorations.

Avery spent the afternoon at her friend’s house. She was gone for a bit but came back home to make her “Friendsgiving” dish to pass at a party she is going to tomorrow. 

She was making a dish with Brie, carmelized onions and cranberry sauce.  She was carving the cranberriy sauce into shapes that they use in physics. The onions started to smell a little like someone with BO on a hot summer day.

I ended up taking a nap in the middle of the afternoon which was glorious.

I think my seasonal depression is kicking in. I am in a bit of a funk. It has to be all the darkness. I have upped my dose of vitamin D to see if that helps.
