Day 3279

 I woke up a little after 8 and played games for quite a while.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  When that was done I went out to the garage.

The first order of business is to finally complete the RC sorting.  It didn't take long, but it felt really good to get it down.  Then I started to haul the Christmas tree stuff to the house.  Then new tree is too heavy to lift.  I had to get a hand cart from the back storage building.  It took two trips, one for the tree and one for the decorations (two large and one small plastic boxes).

We got the tree assembled after some difficulty.  The pieces are heavy and hard to connect.  Then I started unpacking decorations while Ellen test a light string for the Star Trek lights.  When she was done she started hanging decorations.  I started surfing.

It took Ellen a long time to finish the tree.  That's because she spent a lot of time in the can.  I saw that there was a package at the gate.  I went out to get it.  It contained the new drill battery holders.  I went to the garage, took the old ones down, and installed the new ones.  When I got back Ellen had the tree done and I took the boxes and handcart back to the garage.

After that I surfed while Ellen watched chick flicks.  The plan was to take the laxatives at 6.  At 5:30 I read the box.  I'd purchased the wrong stuff.  I made a quick trip to CVS to get the right stuff.  I still ingested the pills at 6.

The rest of the evening was surfing and waiting for the pills to take effect.  It's after 9 and they haven't.  The box says they take 8 to 12 hours.  I'll probably be getting up in the middle of the night.
