December 1 - 6 (Tuesday - Sunday)
This month starts the month of buying presents! I ordered some things from Amazon yesterday to get started. On Tuesday, I attended my WW Zoom meeting first thing. After lunch we worked on limbs in the front yard. We loaded the limbs in the back of the pickup and went to the dump to get rid of them. We also had three bags for the trash guys to pick up. Steve and I went to La Macarena for supper without Hazel or Linda. Wednesday was a slow day, I read a book in the morning. In the afternoon - Steve had a bad asthma episode. I thought I was going to have to call 911. But he finally was able to breathe normally. It kind of scared me. Also we watched the Steelers play the Ravens on Wednesday. The Corona virus has these football schedules all messed up. Thursday was gloomy and overcast with a high of 36 degrees. We did walk outside, even though it was chilly. We have been trying to walk outside most every day. It's a short route about a mile total. It only takes us about 20 minutes, but the dogs LOVE it! So we do it to keep our dogs happy. Friday we went to Stillwater for some more Christmas shopping and pick up supplies at Walmart. Saturday we tried to work on putting up our outside lights, but we needed bulbs. So we went back to Stillwater after checking all the stores in Perry (Dollar Store, Ace Hardware, and Tractor Supply) with no luck. We ended up getting some new strings of lights at Walmart because we could not find bulbs to match the lights we had. We also watched OSU beat TCU in football today! Yea! After we got around on Sunday, we got our outside lights and decorations put up. Also we watched football again! Imagine that!

December 7 - 13 (Monday - Sunday)
The week started with Steve's annual appointment at the VA SCI clinic. They do a thorough checkup of his MS and he is doing good. We were out by noon and so we went to Kohl's to do some Christmas shopping ( with our mask on of course). We drove through McDonald's on our way home and that was about it for the day. Tuesday I tuned in to the WW Zoom meeting - and new changes are coming for the virtual meetings. I did some other computer stuff then we had lunch and took a walk. We started to put up our Christmas tree but many of the branches would not light up. Steve couldn't trace down the problem - so we decided to buy a new tree. We went to supper with Hazel. Linda didn't join us because she went to a basketball game. So after supper we headed out to Stillwater and bought a new tree at Lowe's. We watched the Dallas Cowboys get beat after we got home. Wednesday started out with a bad phone call from Hazel - Her husband, Wayne died of Cardiac arrest at rehab. He was supposed to get to come home this week. This hit me like a ton of bricks. I lost all my desire to put up the tree. I felt sad all day for Hazel and it also made me sad to remember all the family members and friends I have lost. So sad. We did finally get the tree up and put out some Christmas decorations. Thursday, we went back to Stillwater to get Steve fitted for orthotics. He also got a new pair of shoes at Brown's Shoe store. Also we stopped at Lowe's to check on the kitchen remodel plan - but the girl who is in charge of that area was not there. That will be followed up on in the new year. We took a poinsettia to Hazel and gave her a hug. Later the dogs convinced us to take them for a walk and I started getting out my Christmas Cards. Friday we mailed some of our Christmas Cards and bought some more - because I didn't have enough. Later we met Kristi in OKC for lunch and some shopping. Steve bought another pair of shoes at REI - Oboz. That is the brand I bought for myself last summer. We also went to Penn Square Mall and back to Kohl's. By the time we got done and back home - we were pooped. Saturday we wrapped presents, did some errands in Perry and watched OK State beat Baylor in football. Sunday morning we woke up to snow! We took some pictures of the snow while it was pretty. Also Steve had to get the snow off the satellite dish so we could watch TV. Dallas won their football game and we didn't do much today.
