One of my holiday gifts from Dave was an appointment to get a new tattoo.
We got up, and ate and ventured out into the horrible wintry weather for my appointment, only to sit there and wait for a half hour and finally be told that the artist wasn't going to make it in because of the weather.
I really wanted 3 weeks before chemo starts again for it to heal. Oh well. I got it rescheduled for next Saturday.
The other big part of my gift was a massage appointment, though, and that did NOT get canceled because of the bad weather yesterday.
It was lovely to finally get a massage after a full year. The last time I went was right before I was diagnosed.
Hopefully, I can go again soon.
We had a very nice holiday week last week, with Solstice on Monday, and a nice fire in the fire pit. Some day, I will take time off for winter solstice.
Then, Christmas eve was great, with friends and Dave's son joining us. Dinner turned out perfectly, and we had a fun time playing Cards Against Humanity.
Christmas day, we went to a matinee showing of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Loved it. Went and visited Dave's dad briefly, then home to make Christmas dinner (sauerbraten that had been marinating for 2 days, spaetzle, and spinach souflee).
The huge storm started yesterday. Dave got groceries while I stayed home and put away all of the holiday decorations.
It was 64 when we got up in the morning, and it was dark and rainy all day The wind kept getting stronger, and colder, and there was flooding here and there.
Then, overnight, it went down into the 30s, and the rain has now turned to slush, sleet, and freezing rain. The wind is brutal.
It's supposed to stay cold today, and the precipitation is supposed to keep coming, and if it changes to snow, we could have 6 inches of snow by mid day tomorrow.
That probably means that I won't have to be at work until 10. I hope, anyway.
Meantime, we are home, and safe, and hoping the power stays on.
I am off to make some hot tea. Hope my readers are enjoying Sunday.
