For some reason I thought there was one more NFL game on tonight. Last night's game was the final NFL regular season game. Shit.
Four wild card playoff games next Saturday and Sunday.
Wow. Christmas is over, football season is over (except for the playoffs). Yipes. Not good.
Drank too much wine last night and turned off the lopsided football game and went to lie down. Thought there was one more pro game tonight for some reason. That doesn't make sense now that I think about it. There are three college bowl games on today.
I need to take down the last few Christmas decorations. And the lights on the front of the house. Can I just pull those down and throw the lights away? I do not want to climb that ladder again. This was the final year for lights on the front of the house, it's just too scary and dangerous. I'll put some lights around the garage door this Christmas.
I bought that 16-foot ladder to hang and remove the Christmas lights. I think that I've met my obligation and that I don't have to climb that ladder any more. I do not like climbing that ladder.
Wow, 2007. Another year. Everything dries up after Christmas. I removed the Christmas tree on Saturday while the kids were with Diane. Filled up the trash can with the branches, saving the trunk for a year or so. Didn't burn last year's trunk yet. I like saving the tree trunk for some reason.
So Christmas is over again. I loved having the kids home for two weeks. I am not looking forward to getting them up and to school on time tomorrow morning.
I wish I had any good memories after about 1987. Certainly the failed ten-year marriage to Diane is not a high point in my life. I love the kids dearly but they're endless work. Raising the kids is all that I'm doing. I was happy to finally get the cats. I like the cats a lot.
Oh well. Press on. See what this year holds.
