It started out cold, but I went to that pool anyway. Walking down the ramp into the water, oh dear, it was warm! I think it was just the contrast, from the outside air. The locker room is always freezing afterward, then the showers nice and hot. Then, back out into the cold. By the time I get home, the car is toasty, and I have to go back through the cold into the house. I love love love it though.
This fine morning, I vacuumed and puttered around, and wrapped a few presents. Sonja came over because her car needed to be inspected by the garage down the road, and I was going to drive her home after. It didn't take long at all, so we decided to go finish our Christmas shopping. We went to Kohl's, where I was just overwhelmed. I had one item to pick up, a Yankee Candle I got for $4.99 because I had $15 Kohl's cash. Their prices are kind of high, and I didn't buy anything. The people there were above and beyond nice though, as were the people I was in line with.
Target, just for a few things. I found myself two black skirts for $9 and $8.40, not sure if they fit yet, didn't try them on in the store. I got one thing for one person, one thing for another, and a package of shaved steak marked half off, which I made for dinner: I put tons of coarse ground pepper, salt, and minced onions on the steak, chopped up an onion, sauteed it in avocado oil, added the meat, fried it up for a bit, and voila, dinner. Sonja, Camille, and I had stopped at Chipotle. I ate all the chicken and some of the rice and chopped tomatoes, cilantro, corn salsa, ect., but saved the rest. I gave a huge portion of it to Paul to eat with his steak, I had a few bites of the steak and the rest of it.
Oh, the details that make up our days. I was going to finish wrapping presents, but only wrapped two, when Paul came home from hunting...I was talking to my sister on the phone, and Paul was holding his hands out for the dogs to smell...Did you get one? Did you get a deer?! Yes, he did!
I am nice, so I said goodbye to my sister, and went outside to see the deer. On a scale of really wanting to see it, from one to ten, I would give it a one, but, I am nice. He wanted to get it hung in the tree, so I stayed out there while he climbed the ladder. He ended up tying it to a rope, then putting the rope over a tree branch, tying the other end to his truck hitch, and driving down the driveway. It worked. He then got up there on top of the ladder and secured it.
It's lovely, nothing like a deer in your front yard tree to scream we are rednecks! Hey, I grew up in the suburbs, and we did not hang deer in our trees.
I hope he takes it to a place to have it butchered and wrapped. I am not helping. I'm nice, but not that nice.
Ah well, tomorrow is Achilles' birthday party, and I am excited about it....have a really nice night, and I hope I didn't bore you to tears with the boring details...

Oh dear (😂)
That’s a lovely addition to your front yard! I was hooting when I read that!! You could put some twinkly lights on it!! 😂😂😂😂 Oh my…..
You are such a busy person. I’m going to do some baking in the next couple of days. I really don’t need a lot so will freeze it and bring out as needed.
Just to let you know I had a heart attack last Friday and spent 5 days in hospital. I had 2 stents put in and I’m going well. I had my nurse daughter with me every day. What an angel she is 💗 This was a wake up call. I have to exercise more and change my diet a bit…….less salt for sure. I will be going to cardio rehab. We have a gym right in this facility so no excuse. So that’s been me for over a week. I hadn’t been feeling great for a while. But good now and healing well.
You have a wonderful weekend! 🥰

Oh my goodness, Marilyn, I don't know what to say! I am super glad you are okay, and bless your dear daughter for being with you, those nurse daughters are wonderful. I am glad you're feeling better now, God bless you, Marilyn. Hugs. And the deer, maybe a red nose? nah, that would distress the children, ha...
