Heading Home

I bagged the party.  I follow a few science sources for COVID and numbers are climbing (I've been out of the loop for a little bit).  I looked at recommendations and I was fine as long as I was OUTSIDE.

I have a bird's eye view of the house and party setup and things were setting up heavily for inside too.  I realized it was very possible ladies would gather in the kitchen and men outside by the fire.  I texted the host and explained I got nervous right ahead of Christmas and needed to take a pass.  I apologized for the last minute change.

As I mentioned, even in daylight, I can see inside her house.  At dark, it's practically like I'm there lol.  The ENTIRE PARTY was inside all evening.

And, as it turns out, my mood, etc was my monthly -- coming 3 weeks late.  Or probably, more accurately, coming whenever it feels like it now.  December timing isn't horrible (although one more day would've been better).  Drive home in the rain and I'll need to make some pitstops.

I'm crazy happy I changed my mind on the party.  I was getting more and more nervous about being around people ahead of next week.  I'd rather not go then go and leave super fast because it was indoors.

Here are a few more decoration pictures.

Added a little star tree topper

It's POURING RAIN.  This isn't going to be my best drive today.  Dang and dang.  My only regret is not leaving yesterday.  Oh well.  I'm in no rush.  Slow driving and as many bathroom breaks as I need.

Happy Saturday -- have a great day.  Later gators.
