Oh, Christmas Tree

Ok, finally feeling better, yay!

I talked to my boss this morning before she left for the airport, so that was good. I made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for my cousin who is going back to Taiwan early on Saturday. I made sure to wash my hands thoroughly, but I figured whatever germs were left would be nuked in the oven. Today was National Cookie Day...which really should be every day!

Finally not looking and feeling sick. Bring on the winged liner!

Sorry, buddy. No cookies for you.

I was so happy to be out of the house once the work day was over. I went over to my parents' house with the intention of setting up the Christmas tree. Julie sat in the kitchen and mumbled that she didn't feel like doing anything tonight. Ok, fine. I went downstairs and brought up all the pieces myself. I finished putting in the branches and reached for the bags of ornaments. "Aren't you going to wait for everyone to show up?" Oh, hm, ok, I guess so. My cousins (and cousin's girlfriend) showed up soon after and they helped hang the ornaments and lights. Hugo is much taller than I am, which came in handy because all I had to do was direct him when usually, I have to drag a chair across the floor to hang up the ones from the ceiling.
