Nice productive day today. After hanging the Christmas lights yesterday, Lauren helped me out today with some cleaning up around the house, after a great breakfast at LGCafe, of course. The cinnamon roll is a gut-bomb, I need to avoid 'em. After breakfast we returned to Matson and I cleared out the patio, bedroom clutter, cleaned the kitchen fully, dropped off donations, vaccummed the house and Lauren helped w/the carpet spot-cleaning too. We also took Scottie for a full service haircut, wash, nails, and such. I had requested they leave his face hair long but that seems to have been lost in translation and they just did a routine and aggressive cut. Well, it'll grow back and I'm gonna do a little research on DIY options again. Tommy's at dinner with Eric and Carl tonight, so I've had the evening to myself. It's been pleasant and feels rewarding. I've resisted having a scotch as it's something I've committed to taking a break from. The only booze I've had was wine on Thanksgiving and I'm remaining focused on healthier habits. Cinnamon roll aside.
