Holiday at the day care


Santa came to Ellie's day care today, and the kids exchanged inexpensive gifts. Happily, Linda's therapy was earlier than usual today because the schools got out early and her therapist was free. So we just meandered over to the day care when therapy finished.

I thought that Linda shouldn't have to miss everything, including Christmas parties at her daughter's day care, so I dragged her along. She would rather have gone home. Linda did a bit of Christmas shopping yesterday and over-did it. So she was still tired today, and, after her therapies, she didn't really want to go to a party.

Has anyone noticed that it is really cold out? It was hell getting Linda into the day care. It's much harder for her to walk when she is cold. I'm going to have to get her a pair of gloves with leather palms because she can't wear her mittens and grip her canes both.

She endured the party, which lasted about an hour. Santa brought Ellie a movie, so we came home and watched it and Linda didn't have to move. Hopefully that will help her recover her energy.
