Advent 2023 - Day 22

Good Lord, only two days left until Christmas! Which, over here, means Christmas Eve, BTW. That's the day when the Christmas tree is decorated and the presents are opened. Therefore I'll have to dig out the artificial monstrosity tomorrow and put it together in advance, so that I'll only have to do the decoration on the 24th.

( Boring domestic stuff under the cut )

So, between cooking and laundry it isn't surprising that my precious creative time, which is usually between 9.30 and 10.30 in the morning, was cut short and I didn't manage to finish the new front page of the Christmas quiet book. No, I don't get more me-time. When everything is done and the usual crap telly watched, it's 4pm or later, and by that time I'm too wrung out to even think of doing anything creative. Today, I happened to play some Solitaire on Methuselah the geriatric laptop and by the third time I fell asleep on my keypad I decided to take a nap. After which it was duty supper time again, and there we are.

On a more positive note, my friend Elise called with the promise to drop by tomorrow afternoon, and a lovely Christmas card from aeris444 came with today's post.
