Good Afternoon!
I just did NOT want to get up this morning! We've had weeks upon weeks of early mornings and late nights with Jean working almost every day*, and even though I'm not going into a job and doing physical labor like he is, even I'm feeling the effects! He's been working so hard and so long to finish these two jobs that I decided to surprise him with a little treat. I had bought all of his Christmas gifts already, but on a whim (yikes!) I decided to buy him the Kindle Fire that he had on his Amazon Wish List. They are on special for only $50 right now, and it will be so handy for him to have a tablet that he can take to work that isn't our pricey iPad. I also bought him a gift certificate for a 45-minute massage from the fitness and wellness center where I work out, so I will wrap those up and give them to him tomorrow night after he finishes his last day on the big jobs.
So far today I did manage to get up (woohoo!), get to the gym, and go to a hair appointment. I've just gotten home, let the pups out, and made myself something to eat. I need to do a couple of loads of laundry and a little bit of NSA work. Mom and I are headed to Costco tomorrow for a few last-minute Christmas Eve brunch items, including a cake. I'm sure it will be a zoo, but it's all in good holiday fun.
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the day!

*Helpful tip: If you hire someone to do a full gut/renovation job on your kitchen, tell them that you need it to be done in time to host Christmas dinner
before they start the work. He started this job and everything was going great, then the lady sprang the news on him that he had a super-short time frame, so he's been working literally 6-7 days a week, leaving at 5AM and getting home around 8PM.
