Daughter and her co-worker/friend came by and made short work of cutting the tree to the correct height and getting it into the tree stand. It will need a few hours to hydrate and loosen up. Perhaps the branches will relax and widen. But if not, I don't mind. Co-worker said- no tree topper??? No star????? No.
I guess I could make one.
My word for today- heal.
I had one hell of a morning. Reminded of friends who have died- many years and years ago. Lots of tears. I am really very very sad today. Heal. Tears can heal. Breakfast was good. I have branches from the tree shortening and will make a few swags. And the Goddess needs a fresh Crown.
I wrote something else on my calendar- "I'm not arguing....I'm just explaining why I am right"
Daughter's coworker/friend is a therapist (psych) and suggested husband and I would benefit from a dog- an older one. I'm thinking- instead of saying something to husband I could say it to the dog???? I miss having a dog. I miss talking to the dog. I miss looking into a dog's eyes.
Daughter's bank in town (Bank of America) is closed. Not even drive up window. Someone has tested positive for COVID and everyone was sent home. I'm guessing that happened. These are new to us but more than likely are pretty standard everyday crap fests for most of America and the World these days.
My coffee and oatmeal were excellent this morning. My tree is in the house. I will wait a bit to go up and look for the light box and the ornament box. I love doing the lights but if you recall last year- was difficult getting strings to stay ON. But once we got them going. No troubles.

OOh, that tree is gorgeous, going to be magnificent with its decorations and lights! I don't have a tree, no interest, not a Christmas person. I cancelled my little get together with daughter and brother because of Covid. It will be just another day here, trying to stay well.I'm very concerned about the spreading virus, sure hope the coming vaccine is the answer to that "light at the end of the tunnel"
That tree is glorious! If you picked it out, you did really good. I have a feeling that your house smells wonderful.
Now I'm inspired to find one. We all need the cheer. An older dog who needs a family, what a great idea.
Today was such a GIFT. The two of them doing the tree, the collie dog herding us all into a small space.
The tree was chosen by a former co-worker. I called to reserve one and that is the one he saved for me.
tomorrow the Attic and finding the lights. And A tree topper. The guy who came with his dog to help with the tree said
it will look amazing with the tree topper- I shook my head- no- he said star?--another no. He looked sad for me.
There might be something up in the Attic. Has to be- It's Magic.
