Can't bear to put it away

This morning, the dogs patiently "watched their favorite show" while waiting for me to wake up and feed them. I managed to snag this picture, then Dahlia saw me and well. The jig was up. 

Today we didn't do much except that which was necessary. Doug went to target for dog food and other necessities. Geoff took the dogs on walks, separately, one at a time. I watered the plants, did the dishes, did an indoor walk. I contemplated going to the gym while Doug and the dogs napped. But I changed my mind and made dinner instead. 

Dogs had a busy day today. Doug bought a couple cheap but allegedly indestructible toys at target, which were a big hit. One was instantly destroyed (by Toffee). The other is a ball that lights up and squeaks, which is delightful. When they run around with it flashing in their mouths, I love it. 

After the target trip and new ball chaos, I boxed up the angels, put the tree away, took some lights down but not all of them. 

I always put the angels facing out of the little windows in the box. I want them to be able to see.

God, I'm a weirdo.

While I was putting things away I thought of an old colleague who passed away years ago. At her memorial service, someone told the story of how she kept her Christmas tree up one year until March. When someone asked her why it was still up, she said "it's so pretty I just can't bear to put it away." 

So as I put the angels in their boxes, I thought of Sandy. Putting the things away does make me a little sad but ... it's February, Chris. Put the things away. It's okay. It gives you something to look forward to.

Goodbye for now, little angels. See you in November. 

That's about all the excitement here.
