Tree decorating

[silver_chipmunk]

After being up so late last night I slept very late today. Then I got up and ate breakfast and had coffee, and then I cleaned the turtle tank. I did a pretty good job, and I finally put in the new filter.

Then I cleaned the cat pan, too. And then I got the Christmas tree out from behind the TV where I store it, and the three boxes of Christmas decorations, and I set up the tree ready to decorate.

At 3:00 mashfanficchick came over and we decorated the tree. It looks really nice. We also put up the star lights and the lights over the living room arch. I put up a few of my other Christmas decorations., but I don't think I'll bother with everything. Only Middle Brother will be here for Christmas as we're having Christmas Eve with the Kid.

Then I took a shower and dressed, and at 6:30, Elissa picked us up and we went out to Roosevelt Field. We did a goodly amount of stuff, then went and ate at Noodles and Co. I called Middle Brother from Roosevelt Field.

Then we went to Target, where I got a few things.

And then back here.

There is no new news about Oldest Brother. The social worker at the hospital called me, that's all.
