24 hours since our company left, and it seems like another lifetime...except the cats are still jumpy...make a sudden noise and they head for the tall timber.

I de-decorated the tree this afternoon (just as soon have it up December 1, but I want it out of sight the day after Christmas--who knows why)

Leftovers for lunch for a couple days is nice, no cooking to speak of. I've got about as much energy as a sloth with mono.

This is the day I jot down my notes, what worked and what didn't, menu tweaks, etc. It'll be fun to see if I can find my notes next year.
