Wed 31 Dec

New Years' Eve! Busy day ahead. Need to give Bob a ride to drop off his van, Body Pump with Tom, massage at 3 pm and Mass for the Holy Day at 6:30 pm. Might squeeze in a NYE dinner at Chef's Kitchen at 5. Food: 7:35 am 103 g Costco cinnamon loaf, 105 g blackberries, coffee

Tues 30 Dec

Quiet day except for hair appointment this afternoon. It will then be about 8 weeks before the next one (at best), so I will get a tad shaggy and greyer while in Spain. Food: 7:55 am Pillsbury hot cocoa roll, 105 g blackberries, coffee

Mon 29 Dec

Didn't get hit with as much snow as predicted. Looks like about 3 inches down. At least enough to cover the old dirty, melted stuff with a pretty, white layer. Food: 7:55 am Pillsbury hot cocoa roll, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Sun 28 Dec

Last day of the long holiday weekend for some, though the big snow predicted for this evening and tonight may extend it an extra day. I strongly suspect we'll have to cancel OBT hours tomorrow. No school in session to use for our guide, but if we get 6 inches of snow, it shouldn't be a difficult call. Food: 8:00 am Pillsbury hot cocoa roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Sat 27 Dec

The year wanes. Will drive down to Madison today for some pre-Spain Costco and household needs. Daughter is fully occupied this weekend, so can't do our mini-Christmas with her as wished. Heard there's a big winter storm coming tomorrow night. Food: 8:05 am Blueberry cheesecake caramelized pastry, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Fri 26 Dec

A very nice Christmas, celebrating in the morning with Michael and Taylor over their homemade apple fritter bread and peach mimosas and gifts. I made a turkey dinner with fixings for Bob and I. Couldn't visit Leone as Mick said she was having a rough day, so that is yet to happen. Food: 8:00 am Apple fritter bread, 102 g blackberries, coffee

Thurs 25 Dec

Merry Christmas! Michael and Taylor are stopping by around 9 am to do stockings with us, then Taylor has to go to work. I am planning to cook Bob and I a turkey breast with stuffing and TJ's sweet potatoes, possibly also carrots and cranberries if I'm feeling ambitious. Choir Mass sounded good last night as much as I could tell from up front. Food: 7:55 am 92 g pecan sticky bun, 101 g blackberries, coffee
