The week between Christmas and New Year is always so quiet here at work. Usually I just take it off, but I have to save up vacation time for my two weeks in Europe plus I want to have a few days to spare in February or early March in case my sister wants to have some time so .... I am taking Thursday off and Friday is a holiday, but these three days are going to be brutally boring.
My Christmas holiday was pretty nice. I ended up working from home Wednesday since I got stranded because of a vehicle issue. I had a few things to take care of, so it wasn't a total waste. On Thursday we spent the day tidying up and I cooked my very first prime rib for Christmas Eve dinner. It ended up perfect! I was nervous.
Christmas was low key. No football. We had a nice morning at home, then off to Bob and Josie's for a big family white elephant gift exchange and dinner. We were home early, watched a movie and into bed early as well. Then I woke up around midnight and I couldn't get back to sleep. And then Tinkerbell got had a gurgling stomach and I was up with her three times. The day after Christmas we had two football games - bowl games that both UW and WSU won. And I cooked a small turkey. That was nice to finally get my turkey dinner.
I was quite antsy with nothing to knit on so Sunday I wound the camel I had gotten from the Luxe box and knit on the stole pattern that came with it all day Sunday while I watched football. And watched the Seahawks get their butts handed to them by the Rams AT HOME! Oh it was a terrible and disappointing game. Yes, they're still in the playoffs but it was still not a fun game to watch.
The weather is cold and it's going to be getting colder this coming week. We got a bit of sleet yesterday but no snow. Snow in the mountains. No snow down here. I am disappointed.
