“Remoted” Day 256 (Friday)

Day two of the new mystery question came and went without an answer. “How can a day with minimal activity and no plans pass so quickly?” There really was as close to nothing done today as possible. Couch. Hallmark Movie channel. Microwaved non-turkey dinner leftovers were lunch and veggie straws, cashews, and dried apricots were supper. Baking a pie was considered, recipes were sourced, and ingredients assessed. The initial research was exhausting enough that the whole idea was abandoned once it was determined it would require expending additional energy to peel the apples and pears.

A day's work.

At 5:00 pm there was a random flurry of activity. Three nails were banged into walls and items were hung – two in the living room and one in the dining room. The carpeted stairs were vacuumed and a plant stand placed for the red tinsel tree on the stair landing. A silver glitter wreath was hung on a wreath hanger on the living room coat closet door. Despite the use of a coaster, one drop of red wine was spilled onto a tan formica topped mid-century end table, causing a stain. 

The evening’s entertainment is a new musical extravaganza on Netflix, “Christmas on the Square,” with Saint Dolly Parton, clever songs and dance, and Christine Baranski as “the wickedest witch of the middle.” Oh, yes, please. If only I had made that Chess Pie I was too lazy to make the other night I could be having dessert in Southern style. Having no pie is the penalty of laziness.
