The scale read 241 this morning. Not 241.5. 241. I'm so grateful. Today was peaceful, cleaning house and catching up on projects, paid bills, laundry, everything but scrub the bathroom. The bathroom will get its due tomorrow.

Tonight I prepared one of my favorites... chicken fingers coated in eggs with a little cream and rolled in parmesan. My DH darned near didn't let me have my share of the meal. LOL Laundry continues as he's now out on a sales appointment. St. Joseph, pray for us! There is a gift for each family member under the tree, not one over $20. I haven't purchased one for my DH yet. I know we're wealthy by world standards, just not quite used to being so broke at Christmas. Still our needs are met, we're healthy. We attended Mass yesterday evening in the light of four candles of Advent and held hands. If we can all be together Friday it'll be a perfect Christmas.
