 Last day of 2022. Got about 8. Fixed breakfast.  Chores. Stitched. My life is very boring these days.  Valdez's asked us out for Pizza but Steve worked til 6 and he would be too tired to go.  Guess he will be too tired to go to Golden Corral.   While he was gone I stitched of course. Then I worked on January calendar mug and dusted. Yippee.  Dog park run.  Steve was home about 6 for leftovers. Finally it was time for TV cuddles and stitching.

 Well 2022 is almost over.  We went to storage taking what we already packed and picking up empty containers for the last of the Christmas stuff. We packed up the rest and took those back.  We cleaned up the mess and we are done with Christmas.  We BBQ'ed brats about three. I stitched the rest of the dat till Steve came home at 8:30 ish.  His hours are disrupting my routines.  David called and we had a really good talk.  Finally it was time for bed.

 We got up about 8 and had breakfast.  We sputtered around the house. The weather turned cold. Rain last night. I stitched this morning.  We had a late lunch. We went to get our toenails done. Then picked up a few things . Trip to the dog park.  Dinner, cleanup. Then TV cuddles and switching.

 Quiet day at home. I worked in the craft room with the dreaded glue gun.  We survived.  Steve worked outside.  Rain coming. Couple of trips to the dog park.  Steve put all his tools away.  I stitched the rest of the day . Leftovers for dinner.  Steve was happy with mash potatoes and gravy.   Finally it was time for TV  and cuddles with lots of stitching.

 Say after Christmas.   Got up about 8. Hazel still not feeling tip top.  Breakfast Laundry.  Went to Ace hardware and Safeway.   Then home. Steve worked 2 to 8.  I watched Hazel while I switched and watched TV.   Got pot pies ready for when Steve came home. Then it was time for night time routine.  My routine is definitely upset.

 Our first Christmas in the house.  Very low key.   Fords came over for a quick breakfast.  They were scheduled for 9 but came at 8:30.  Thank goodness I set the alarm for 7.  Then we hung out watching football and stitching.  Steve did some intarsia.  At 4 we went to Wendy and Ralph's for a wonderful turkey dinner.  We were back by 6 for TV cuddles and stitching.
