Sam is still sick and still will not go to the ER or a walk in clinic. He is better today I guess but still not good. I'm making some Quinao and black bean stuff lol . I made this beef and broccoli last night and it is easy and good !!!! I really hope I find my holiday spirit soon because right now I'm just not feeling it.  I have absolutely no interest in decorating the house or getting a tree up. I hope my mood changes soon so I don't Scrooge out the holiday for the rest of my family. Feeling very bah humbug right now.
