I am working today, but they're letting us leave at 3. It's dead quiet, and it looks like the Internet filters have been pulled.
We're going to cook at home tomorrow, and try to see Sherlock Holmes. I'm kind of glad that there aren't any family togetherness expectations.

So Happy Yule and Merry Christmas and best wishes of all the other holidays out there.

ita - not my best Christmas ever, but I am making do. I have Christmas music on and I am playing with him for 10-15 min at a time, then breaking to do something around the house. Right now I am listing books for re-sell on Amazon, might as well try to make some cash and decrease things in the house. After books comes two Duplo sets. If any b.org parents are interested in the duplo sets, I'll give you a great deal + shipping.
I wrapped five or six presents last night, and it was positively exhausting.
Scotch tape is my nemesis.
I'd gladly let the robots take over the world as long as they wrapped our Christmas presents for us.
Wait, do you suppose monkeys could be trained to do this?

Scotch tape is my nemesis.
I'm picturing Scola as a super hero and the villian as a giant roll of scotch tape.
