Puck pounding on the treadmill for 1.7 miles after eight o’clock… the rest of us lazily lounging, asleep or with tablets…

Oxbear still in a stupor of head cold… tries to shower it off after a hot apple cider vinegar… which seems to help some… before he drives Patience to her appointment

Before Puck leaves for work, he hits the gym, texts Elmer about another vehicle opportunity, and introduces Yali to about two hours of “WhistlinDiesel” with lots of laughs

It’s already a two ibuprofen day for Mama… after writing a final letter to Y, calling about the new sponsor child, printing the remainder of the kids’ 2024 photo album, and depositing Christmas cash at the ATM for Puck

Oxbear is gone again in the late afternoon to meet with D.S. and his art books

Kids bussed over to Malcolm Terrace Park to run around for half an hour before dusk and dinner and the rain…
