Weird Weekend

All I can say it was a weird weekend. We had planned to visit our family in central Virginia like we always do for Christmas. But with the pandemic resurgence we thought it best not to worry ourselves and our family. So the appropriate grinch wrapping paper gifts will remain undone until another time. We decided to take a ride on Christmas Eve to find some lights. It was a rather disappointing event except for one house that was over the top. It was also rush hour and we got stuck in traffic. That evening the tv stopped working and we both had a heart attack. Our lifeline to normality was snatched away - even more so when the internet quit and I couldn’t even use the version app to troubleshoot. We couldn’t even find a number to call. Luckily after plugging and unplugging everything a few times it finally came back. What a lousy weekend it would have been to buy a tv when everything is shut down. We had leftovers for dinner both on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Last evening we thought we would try to visit Alexandria to see the Christmas lights one last time. It was a bust except for the canopy of lights on King Street. The only thing good about going there was to find a gas station with gas for $3.17. When we came home we watched a really awful movie, but it made us forget about the pandemic and our cares. Sometimes I dread the holidays. This was one of those times. And I’m glad it’s over.
