The tree is all but done. I have moved most of the ornament boxes back up to the Christmas closet. There are still a handful of ornaments that I may or may not use. I will make a walk around the tree and see if there are any glaring empty spots. Doubt that there will be many...it is pretty chock full! So many memories hanging on this tree. It is hard to leave some off. There are ornaments dating back to our first Christmas all the way to the present. Some remind me of the family members and friends who gave them to me. Others remind me of events in our lives. I've definitely thought a lot about Woody as I hung ones that we bought together on some of our trips. I have hopes that tomorrow I will be able to get empty boxes all upstairs and out of the living and dining rooms. That would mean emptying a few...so I need to decide what other nooks and crannies I "need" to decorate before all the boxes are out of sight and thus out of mind! If I can manage to finish decorating tomorrow, that will mean that I have a week to get ready for Thanksgiving and do other things that have been neglected due to all the decorating mess. We'll see if that happens. It will largely depend on whether my back allows me to finish. This afternoon, I just had to stop and head to a recliner and a heating pad. I probably should have done some stitching while resting, but I just didn't even pick up a needle...instead I watched a Christmas movie and relaxed. When it was time to head to church for Bible study, my back was feeling much better. I am okay as long as I give in once in a while and just make myself stop for a while and take at least a little short rest. I don't think that I have napped today...just sat and vegged when I rested. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
