I've gotten so used to having RQS around, that it always feels a little strange when she has to go home. Today was the last Sunday of 2025, and it was an early end of a weekend for us due to New Year coming on a Thursday this coming week. And it feels stranger today, as she will be back here in 2 days.

On Sundays, if I wake up early enough at my home, I have the option of going to church. It's partially a running joke with us that I will turn over and go back to sleep for another 2 hours or so, instead of going to church. Although I was up at 8 am, I decided to stay inside and watch videos while RQS slept.
Around 9:30 am, RQS got up, and we relaxed a little more before showering and getting dressed. This is when I started work on the co-op meeting minutes for December, so that they can be reviewed and corrected before the end of the year. (I usually try to keep myself occupied when RQS is showering and getting ready for the day.) We were both ready by 1 pm, and I dropped her off at the station 30 minutes later. What I didn't mention so far is that I decided to go out as Mario for one reason only: I had to return the watch I bought as a Christmas gift for RQS, and I expected to need to present as Mario for this trip. (If I put off the return for another day, I could have enjoyed a day out as Marian.
Once I was done with returning the watch, it was back home to rest a little. Sometime around 6 pm, I decided to replace my CPAP mask, and I fell asleep while trying it out. (I must have both needed sleep and to replace the mask.) By the time I woke up, it was late, and I'll bet that RQS wondered why I didn't call. So I shot her a message to tell her that she could call me - if she was still awake when she read the message.
Tomorrow (weather permitting), it will be a Marian day for the rest of the week. What better a way to spend New Year's Eve, than to be out as Marian....
