Today was a wasteful day. I woke up this morning with a strange dream, I was a teenager again and I was out in the backyard. I was messing around with my bicycle when I happened to look up and see an outline of a man in our hedge. When he realized I could see him, he quickly left. At that moment I knew he had been watching me and knew how to get into our house by my secret way. About this time, evil squirrels came into the picture, we were hunting evil squirrels. From inside a van. I wrote all this in my morning pages.
I finished my book and I worked on my shawl for a bit but got bored with it. I took a nap and then didn't do much else except wait for my hubby to come home. He took our daughters' presents to his office to wrap and pack the boxes for shipping. They won't go out until Monday and will be a little late but we did our best. The only thing I did today was cook some chicken leg quarters so I can make chicken pot pie on Monday. I have to bone the chicken, simmer down the skin and bones and add veggies and stock. I saved the chicken fat that cooked off to add to it for body. After I get the stock to a good taste, I will add the chicken and veggies. Then I thicken the pot pie innards. After it has cooked for a while, I will measure it out into individual bean pots and put a Grand's Biscuit on top. See, my hubby doesn't like pot pie crust so I use a biscuit. He really likes my chicken pot pies.
I have had a feeling of desolation today. Not sure why. Now that I am not working on Christmas presents, I am at a loss of what to do during the day the last couple of days. I need to start crocheting more cowl scarves to put on my hubby's Etsy shop. I make the stuff and he sells it. I do it for therapy and he makes sure we don't get inundated with stuff, again. This also applies to vintage stuff that I find and store in the garage. We can list that stuff in his store also. I have to go through stuff in the garage and get him stuff to list in the store. Have to see what I am not using and get rid of a lot of stuff, mostly during the spring and summer.
Tomorrow we are taking a drive up to Broomfield to go see my daughter, Cassie, and her fiance, Drew and take them their Christmas presents. They are making an early dinner for us and we will visit. His parents, who they live with, are in Italy right now, looking at real estate to rent for when they move there in a month or two. When Drew and Cass get married next year, his parents are going to come back for the wedding and then, as their wedding gift, will fly Cass and Drew to Italy to stay with them for two weeks. Neato!
