After a day of shopping yesterday, I feel like I can give Mr. Giles a rest and do stuff around home. In fact, I'm hoping the sun will be out enough to take better pictures today. Oooh, and I got to give Stella a ride yesterday. I pulled into her driveway on my way home and honked the horn. She said her sister looked out the window and said, "Who do you know in a weird car?"

Today I could use some time to wrap Christmas gifts. I need to start studying Quicken so I can get our finances into a database kind of thing. I'd also love to have a date with Sara. It's been a while. But she's warned me that she's not in a really sexy headspace lately. I would love just some cuddling.

And, it's bacon day. Mmmmmm. Bacon.

I also picked up a tarp and some hooks at Home Depot yesterday with the idea that we could move our wood pile out of the garage shed and put it next to the girls' shed with a tarp to keep it dry. I've also still got bricks to move out of the driveway. A lot of work left to do before I can get a roof over the MINI's head. Car covers are on back order for probably another 3 weeks. He's already dirty from all the rain and leaves. If it warms up today, maybe he'll get a wash.

Deb is wiped out from her work week. She only gets Sundays off from now until January, so whatever she wants to do today, I'll do with her, or help her, or give her the space to do. She was up when Molly got me up, but she went back to bed. Good for her.

Time to look at the Quicken manual and feel my eyes glaze over. Wish me luck.

Post Script: Took a nap with Sara after breakfast. Absolutely amazing reconnection.
