I got up at 3, fed Tom, had my Perk and protein bar, two Tramadol and laid down on the recliner. I finished watching a 2018 Christmas movie, "Romance at Reindeer Lodge." It's a classic.

James and I had our devotional and I watched "A Couples Christmas" while working on my computer.

I made a salad for lunch. I worked on my journal while James and Tom took a nap. I made a list of what I need for the brine for the turkey. Kim and I talked about our Thanksgiving meal and who is doing what. I'm feeling a little better. 

James had a phone meeting with Ravi Gupta. They are supposed to actually start work on his house tomorrow while we are down there. 

James also worked on the railings. It was cold outside so he was all bundled up with his heavy jacket and fur lined hat with the ear flaps like Ralphie's in "A Christmas Story." I know, I should have gotten a picture. 

I blogged and wrapped two Texas Christmas gifts. 

This evening I watched the semi-finals of "Dancing with the Stars." 

There are six couples left: 1) Robert Irwin & Whitney Carson, 2) Dylan Efron & Daniella, 3) Alix Earle & Val, 4) Whitney Leavitt & Mark Ballas, 5) Elaine Hendrix & Allen, 6) Jordon Chiles & Ezra Sousa. 

I like Robert, Dylan, and Aliz. I did like Whitney but recently I like Alix better. During Wendy's last interview with Julianne she said something that had to be bleeped. She was eliminated tonight and I don't think it was because of her dancing. Kim is probably going to be upset. She loves Mark's choreography and likes Whitney too.

It was after 9 when James went to bed. Tom and I were already in bed.

"In our daily lives, we can choose to do the things that invite the Lord's Spirit to come into and dwell in our hearts."

For since the beginning of the world have not men heard nor perceived by the ear, neither hath any eye seen, O God, besides thee, how great things thou hast prepared for him that waiteth for thee.
