THERE WILL BE NO ALL SEASON TREE.

Sunday morning that feels like it should be Monday morning because yesterday felt like Sunday not Saturday. Does that make sense? Anyway Sunday January the 2nd. Two days into the New year and I haven't messed up yet. Yah, yah. Of course I've not been out of the house either. Give me time, I'll be starting the goofing up soon enough.

There will be no All Season Tree. When I told The Emperor my plans for an All Season Tree he got just a tad bit upset. Words like "Chopping it up" and "throwing it out the door," were bandied about. So yesterday morning I decided I would take it down. Now when the tree went up I sat in a chair and watched as Billie and Richard efficiently assembled it. This will be a snap I thought. "Not." After two hours or more of climbing, cussing, unwinding, falling, staggering the tree was finally down. As I worked to unwind the lights I recalled someone saying, "Wrap that around the tree topper so it won't fall off. Believe me if hundred mile an hour wind hit that living room the tree topper would not have toppled.

As I climbed on a chair and reached to unwind the lights at the top, I raised my head up and hit the top of the doorway. Dazed I fell forward catching myself on the tree. The tree started moving I grabbed for the doorway to steady myself. The chair started going over, I grabbed the tree again to right myself. It was one of those slap stick comedy moments but at least I stayed upright for the most part. My heart beating wildly I finished the job out of breath.

What made things more difficult was that the tree was green. The light cords were green. I could not distinguish one from the other. I patted the tree, felt of the tree until I believe the tree was smiling from all the attention. But thank goodness the living room is back to normal. I personally liked it better with the tree. It feels vacant in there now. I still am walking sideways through the door.

The Emperor got up about ten. The job all done and everything put away. "Its all done," I said with satisfaction. "I about killed myself but its finished. The Emperor smiled. "If you would have asked I would have helped." I looked at him and answered. "Sure you would have after the drama, tenseness and fight." He smiled, "You're probably right," he answered. I know I was.

So now its wait a year until the beautiful tree is back up once again. Hey Billie and Richard, would you please put me on your tree list, right up there at the top.

I stop here at the corner. I swear I saw the taillight's of a car. I have never seen a car here in Blogland before. I wonder what goes on when I'm not here? I need to try a different time. Its hard to tell what I'm missing. But its too cold this morning to hang around and see. I'm heading home to get up close to the stove. I'm outta here.
