Xmas day! (and night) Rains on the way. Deluge, maybe. Been a shaky day. Not sure why. Went to L's for lunch. Was there for about 4+ hours, but was shaking a lot of the time. Maybe was a bit chilly--seem to be OK now that I'm back and have the heat cranked up. Was not a good feeling. Felt fuzzy and like I was at the bottom of a well.

She got some gadgets--an induction heating surface, an espresso machine, cookware, and more. She shopped online for many of the items--as did millions of others. The e-way rules!

Will be getting up early in the morrow to help L shuttle cars around in the rain. So doing an early horizontal tonight. Egad! It's only 6pm, but really dark out already. Where's the longer days? Coming soon, to a planet near you.

L's lunch was a feast of traditional Finnish dishes that included a carrot casserole, a rutabaga casserole, roasted finger potatoes, roasted pork loin, rossolli (a dish made with beets, apples, pears, carrots, onions, pickles and chopped egg) and a pastry rice-filled item with egg butter. Was delicious. I stopped shaking long enough to eat. Desserts were a date cake, walnut-filled pumpkin cookies, ginger snaps, all topped off with glogg. Was wonderful! She is a great cook!

We watched the last 3/4ths of an Xmas movie, starring our governor, about finding a hard-to-get robot toy. It was cute and had a few laugh spots. First movie I've seen in quite some time. Was a treat, except for the shaking. Sitting for that length of time was difficult. When I'm stuck here in the apartment, I guess I move about quite a bit and that short-circuits the tremor to some degree. Always something new! And it is so!
