calimacThursday was the end of the holiday season in our house. I dug out the last congealed fragments of wax from the Hanukkah menorah and put it away. B. took down the ornaments from our artificial Christmas tree, and I took the tree apart and packed it away. Then I moved the old rocking chair back into its position in the living room, and spread out the sheepskin and other pieces of fabric that Maia likes to sit on to their accustomed places, which should make for a slightly less disgruntled cat.
The first business day of the year is also when I traditionally take my car in for its annual servicing, which costs much money and takes several hours (spent reading and checking email on my ipad) but revealed nothing urgently bad. It also made it easy to stop in on the way home at the supermarket nearby which has the best fresh crab cakes, so that was dinner along with some sauteed asparagus.
