Christmas Day was a good day all around. Tommy liked the puzzle I gave him. He smiled at it a lot. It is a gaggle of puppies and a pony. Two other gifts are on the way. He is getting a Dirt Shirt, and fancy clippers for his toenails. I am too when Amazon gets them here. He gave me two gift cards to Barnes and Nobles. Books are always great for me.
We cooked everything in much less time than usual. Chicken breast cooked with ground sage made the breast more like turkey. ...lol. Sweet potatoes (plain), StoveTop, green bean casserole, two brown and serve rolls were on my plate. Tommy had leftover potatoes and carrots because we had some of the stuffing before Christmas.
My gravy was lovely and he did not complain about making it. It was beautiful on top of the Stove Top, green bean casserole, and the chicken. I think I put five boiled eggs in about two cups of gravy! Since I only used two Tbsp of flour and broth, the gravy was not a bad choice. I did forget to make one of my boiled eggs into two deviled eggs. I can still do that.
We did eat too much candy On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I do love Kisses Hershey's Miniatures. On Christmas Day I opened the Cella Chocolate Covered Cherries, the only brand I can stand because it has no white stuff in the center.
I wonder if I have gained back the four pounds I lost a few days ago.
Today, I had another ot appointment. The bike pedals she put together fell apart after she left. I am so annoyed. I pedaled eight minutes last night and can already tell a difference in left leg mobility.
We gathered the three store ads.
Tommy gets frustrated. He kept asking me why buy more black-eyed peas. I said, "Just do." I was not about to get into an endless debate. He kept asking what we were going to do with the others, why, what, and I just gave vague answer. He came back and was pleased they were bogo. No drama...lol. I will put on some of the older peas for next weekend.
Result of no drama--very low blood pressure, something like 112/68 when ot came.
Next project--putting away Christmas. I never do this until New Year's Day.
The days are getting longer. Yay! And, it is still not cold. We won't ever complain about warm.
How was your Christmas?
