Merry Christmas!  We had a nice day, but it was a bit off.  I began having foot problems last night, and wasn’t able to fall asleep until after 5am.  Then we got up, David laid out in the sun for a while, and yes, as the intro to the song says, the sun is shining, the grass is green and the orange and palm trees sway.  It was quite a day!  Then, a little after noon we walked next door to have dinner at Donovan’s.  Very nice to meet his family.  We have met his sister before, but now we know the rest of the family.  Very nice time, and a great dinner.  I was only slightly out of it from the lack of sleep and drugs.

We wandered back home and I fell asleep immediately.  Between the turkey and no sleep, I was ready for a long afternoon nap.  Then some dinner, and we watched some TV.  David is sleeping now.  Tomorrow we have an aide coming at 1pm, which will be great.  Hopefully he will like her.

Yesterday, I ran out to do some shopping and wanted to get something for David for Christmas.  I picked up some of his favorite smelly stuff – verbena from L’Occitane.  I also tried to find something for David to give me, and picked up some stuff I needed for Marcaron making at William Sonoma, but David still wants me to get something.  While we were in NYC he was able to arrange with someone to have a surprise for me for my Birthday last year, and I have to say, it was quite a surprise.  He kept telling me that he had something for me, but I couldn’t understand how he had arranged it without my knowing.

Anyway, tomorrow we will look for something for me.
