Running hot again

Hot water is flowing normally from my faucets again. I got some sputtering water at first on Monday. That cleared up after running all the faucets for several minutes.

My Christmas gifts this year were a water flosser, a foot spa/massage, a new briefcase, a pair of shirts, an Amazon Echo Dot, two gifts cards, and a panda bear plush with website information on naming a star through the International Star Registry. (The website isn't coming up for me, though.) UPDATE: The Shining Stars company actually went out of business years ago.

I had Christmas dinner this year at Ruth's Chris Steak House on the south end of the Denver area. I had a cheese-stuffed chicken breast and sweet potato casserole, plus bread, a glass of Moscato wine and two rum-and-cokes. It was expensive, but definitely worth it. Thankfully, I had enough available credit on my Visa card to pay for everything.

I will become a great uncle in a few months. My niece is expecting her first child sometime in March.
