A quiet, domestic,
normal day! We all got up late, thanks to Meg's easier pill schedule. The Christmas tree got yet more decorated. Meg navigated the stairs with greater and greater confidence, and sometimes even without hands!
In the afternoon we all walked the 5 blocks up the hill to 15th Avenue East, our local shopping area. This was Meg's first foot-only expedition since she got home: she went up to 15th by car a couple of days ago. She kept her head warm, and stopped alarming passers by, by using the Smartwool hat that Elspeth kindly brought for her.
She carried her hiking staff, but barely had to use it. She and Nick went shopping while Elspeth and I tried out a local espresso bar. Nick and Meg joined us and kindly posed for a picture in the giant mirror on the wall. The kids then went home with the groceries, while Meg and I scoured a few stores for stocking stuffers and other presents for the kids - our plans had been a little disrupted, as you might imagine.
Presents have been wrapped, Elspeth's Christmas bread is rising. We await a happy, unremarkable Christmas.
