Sounds like you may need some antibiotics, Consuela.

I've mostly finished my xmas shopping. Dropped a ton of money at BestBuy, Target and ToysRUs. Basically fills a suitcase. I guess I'll put my toiletries in that one and use my carryon for my clothes.
My parents aren't getting much of anything, will probably do another donation to Heifer this year.
Shit, I think I need to get more catfood. And I was just up there. Sigh.
Once my stomach acknowledges I've eaten lunch, off to swim. Then laundry and cookie baking, then hopefully clean the house, then manicure. Tomorrow, finish anything not done, pack, trip downtown to replace a shirt, swim, then cookie swap. Fall down, get on plane.
Oh and I've got to send a reminder to petsitters.

Because books.
We're getting our tree tomorrow. And since our Christmas stuff wound getting left behind up north (oops), I just scavenged my parents' forty-five years' worth of decorations and came away with four bags of stuff. Whoo.
I'm now trying not to eat All the Food. I'm starved today.

I sent a box to liese (should be there soon, I SWEAR) and we went to see Santa. We went to the outdoor mall, got there 15 minutes early. It was raining and I was getting damp, but it wasn't too bad. Then they opened Santa's house and we could stand under the porch roof, but Santa was 20 minutes late.
Anyhow, it turned out fine: [link] We went to the bookstore and then the farmer's market when it started a huge downpour. We were waiting for Kiehl's to open, but at 10:05, the person working said, "We'll open in 20 minutes." Fuck no am I waiting in the pissing down rain for overpriced (though I do like it) eye cream.
Sigh.
Home now. I have to pack up boxes to ship stuff.

Done:
Basement floor swept
Dishes washed
Fallen Xmas lights put back up
Gifts and some clothes packed.
The gifts are taking up 95% of the space in my suitcase.

Okay, I have done my beta.
Now I have to decide if I want to go to the museum. I mean, I do want to go, but I would really rather sit here.
Plus there's the business of making dinner for my folks.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
but then I had to stop to have a discussion with Dita about whether or not she could eat the tree.
Nathaniel is telling Dita to go for it

I have cancelled the visit with my folks, my brother is going to fill in for me, yay. Thank god I have family around, I don't know how only children do this.
I might go to the museum anyway because it's the Pixar exhibit and it closes in a couple of weeks. And it's only a few minutes from my house: I could stumble through it for an hour and then go home...
