He took the day off.  I think this is the first time in 18 years that he has not gone to work the day after Thanksgiving.  Since it was raining, it was a wise choice.  He was spending a lazy day until I came back from my errands.<br \/>\n&#8220;Sweetie, could you give me a hand bringing up the Christmas decorations?&#8221;<br \/>\nI bet he made a dozen trips.  I&#8217;d go through a box or two, and hand him what needed to be taken up the stairs, and he&#8217;d make the trip.  I need to spend a morning downstairs repacking the Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations for the year, so that when the Christmas stuff goes back down, it won&#8217;t be so difficult to reorganize it.<br \/>\nDear Husband has been muttering that he shouldn&#8217;t sit and watch TV after dinner.  My solution to that is to have him join me in the basement, organizing what needs to be saved, and collecting what needs to be thrown away.  I think he&#8217;s delayed that chore because he knows that he will get to carry the trash upstairs.<br \/>\nWait until he discovers that I have five or six boxes of mismatched mugs downstairs.  I&#8217;ve been saving them incase we should ever open a coffee house.  Maybe it&#8217;s time to learn to make coffee.<br \/>\nWe need a conveyor belt!   I think I&#8217;ll go browse on e-Bay&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Husband earned his halo today. He took the day off.
