Normally, I try to take the Christmas decorations down on New Years Day. It's always been a tradition to watch the Rose Parade and take things down. But, due to a misunderstanding, I showed up at work instead. When the owners got there, they sent me home. I had only put in about three hours. But, when I got home, I just watched the parts of the parade I missed and just lazed around the house. Then, I was busy on my other days off. So, today, I was able to start tackling taking down the decorations. I managed to get all the ornaments off of the tree, and put away. And the lights are stowed away now too. Some of the decorations, that are on the shelves are taken down. Tomorrow, I will try to finish. But, that will involve hauling down boxes from the attic. And, I'm not sure how I'm going to feel after I get home from work. And, to add to things, I am coming down with something. My throat has been scratchy and sore all day. It may be Valentine's Day before I get all the decorations down, at this rate.
