Today is the first Christmas we’ve spent alone. \u00c2\u00a0Unless you count Christmas ’07, whenBerck got the last flight from O’Hare to Colorado Springs, getting in late at night. \u00c2\u00a0Berck has a bad cold, possibly the flu, and has been pitiful all day. \u00c2\u00a0I made myself some cheese eggs and bacon for breakfast, making lots, fully expecting Berck to steal about half of it. \u00c2\u00a0But he must really feel bad, because he only had one piece of bacon and a forkful of eggs. \u00c2\u00a0For Christmas dinner we warmed up some breakfast burritos Berck got from a New Zealender who comes by his work and sells them. \u00c2\u00a0Berck did brew a double batch of beer but then apparently \u00c2\u00a0expected me to clean up from it.<\/p>\n

It was nice to have a relaxing day at home, though. \u00c2\u00a0We opened up presents in the morning, and I video chatted with Ben in Mobile and Mom and Dad who are visiting the Baileys in Seattle. \u00c2\u00a0Berck and I went through a few plastic tubs of his dad’s that have been in storage in the garage, tossing a lot of it in the trash, keeping some of it, and putting some in a box to take to Goodwill. \u00c2\u00a0The sort of things we found ranged from a dusty quarter of a roll of Tums (trash) to a set of surgical tools engraved with Dr. Kelsey’s initials (keep).<\/p>\n

With as crazy as life has been lately, it was really nice to not have to do anything all day on a Wednesday. \u00c2\u00a0And we get to have the same schedule next week.<\/p>\n

Maybe Berck will be feeling better by then and we’ll even cook the duck I bought at the store yesterday.<\/p>\n

Here’s one of the neighborhood deer watching Berck brew out on our deck today. \u00c2\u00a0I think he may have won an argument with a hammock.<\/p>\n
