Today wasn't much like a normal Christmas. Neither Tom nor I spent the day with any of our family (except each other, of course). We talked to everyone by phone (Dad even called), but that just isn't the same. Not that I was feeling festive, so it wasn't like I felt lonely. Tom and I worked on the house - he finished demolishing the old bathroom. And we discovered just how lucky I've been - the floor under the bathtub was totally rotting out. There's a big hole at one end. If I had tried to labor in the tub, I could have ended up having the baby in the basement. It would have made a good story, but not so much fun to actually experience. Now we know that particle board doesn't make a good under the bath floor material.

I did much less dirty, moldy work. I packed up some of our extra dishes so we can get rid of some furniture while we're working on the kitchen, and then started removing old floor tile from the kitchen. Not a pretty job, but not physically taxing.

We were bummed to discover that our neighborhood Chinese restaurant was closed tonight. Fortunately we found one that was open, so we didn't have to cook. Now we're relaxing with a viewing of 'Spiderman 3'. It's a bit formulaic, but not too horrible. Though... I'm going to be in trouble if I go evil - I don't have bangs. How will anyone know? I'm getting a sore throat - and hoping not to be getting sick. Otherwise it's going to be a bit of a wasted holiday season. Merry merry, and all that.
