So the first of our Christmas lights are up!  Not on a tree or anything, but draped on the counter by the kitchen sink. They look great!    And yesterday, when I was with Mom, we listened to Christmas music through my laptop for a long time.   I like Thanksgiving and everything, but I'm always glad when it's over because then that means it's time for all things Christmas!  Which to me is the best time of the year!

Guillermo and I were looking forward to going out today to order a few items for our new house.  We knew the stores we were going to go to and what we were going to buy.  We got dressed to go out, even went out the door and locked it.  But the air was cold and Guillermo started coughing so I said, "Nope, we are going back in.  We're not going anywhere."  And it's a good thing we didn't.  He spent a lot of time resting on the couch.  It was exactly where he needed to be, and not going from store to store.  He has two more antibiotic pills left to take, and then we'll probably go to the doctor again on Monday because at this point, it doesn't look like those antibiotics have knocked out whatever it is he has.
