Christmas Eve 2008 (Wednesday)

Sunday I drove to see the girls in the morning. I left gifts for them. I had a eggnog coffee and a doughnut. The girls were looking at the gifts under the tree. We were listening to Christmas music from youtube.

On Saturday, I spent most of the day at the malls looking for boots for them. I got some at Sketchers, and then I returned them. I also mailed the information to the lawyer. At the airport I send to text's to the girls telling them that I had a blue Christmas, and they replied that they always have me their hearts. I really loved that.

I was very afraid of flying on Sunday. My flight was at 11:35 AM, but it got delayed by 45 minutes. I came very close to moving the flight to another day. The flight was 3 hours and 45 minutes. I had a couple of wine glasses and it helpedme on the approach to Philadelphia. Last time it was very bumpy, and it was this time. I brought my J Crew winter jacket, so it was not that cold waiting for Cindy.

On Monday, we found out that Cindy's defenses are very low, and that she is fighting some kind of virus that makes her very tired. Cindy went to work and I slept most of the day. She was sent home early, and we ended up having lunch/dinner very late. The girls were spending the day at the grandparents with their dad packing gifts. We had a very, very late breakfast at a dinner in Midia.

On Tuesday, we dropped Kate off at a friend on 202 hwy past on the border of Delaware. We then went to TGI Fridays and then went to. We then went to the Mall in Delaware. On Tuesday, we went to Macy's and bought a juicer. We prepared the first immunity booster juice last night. Cindy was very tired and went to bed early. Hopefully the juicer will help her fight that virus.

Today it was very slow. Cindy dropped the girls off so they spend the day with their dad. Since we wanted to make sure we would remember our Christmas Eve, we decided to go to the Moshulu.

We had to run around a little bit before that. We got Cindy's Mom her Christmas gift. At the Moshulu we had a wonderful time. I had duck and Cindy fish. I had a sashimi for appetizer, and Cindy a salad that also looked like a sashimi. We had a riesling wine that was excellent. I had rice pudding for dessert, and Cindy apple pie. We came back home, and watched a little tv. It was a wonderful time.

Much later we went to Christmas Eve Mass. It was raining a little bit. Cindy's mom took her Irish friends. It was very hot at the church. I met the father and Sister Kate. I liked the church. It had a very small town feel to it. I love the time I spend with Cindy, even at church. I heard her sing, and she has a beautiful voice. The father told a joke about some parrots saying the rosary, and a foul-mouthed female parrot. His anecdotes is about how in these hard times people find God.
