That's super clever, Matt, tho my nephew would be into the cartography macguffin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, that makes me happy, Jesse!
Yay!

Today's Xmas effort went into clearing up the living room and cleaning some of the filth off the back porch. Fun fun fun. Bestest time of year, amirite? In addition to a broken dryer, we've discovered that the pipes are backing up again even though we called the plumber in on Thursday. So tomorrow's Xmas effort will involve more housecleaning PLUS more repairmen. Joy.

Gah, they were sold out of Christmas trees at Whole Foods (our usual) and the other place near there was $95. (WF is $50.) It's only the 17th! So now I have to Google all around and find an affordable decent tree.

Even better, I found out Hobby Lobby has an extremely frou-frou version that looks like a bird-watching scrapbook and I can get 40% off with a coupon. Now I know where my first stop after work is tomorrow!

I thought I didn't have too many presents to fit in my luggage. I even shipped larger items to my parents' house, but even so, I'm playing luggage tetris.

Waiting for the bus, I realize I have forgotten my water bottle. I do have a tire pressure gauge in my pocket, though. So I have that going for me.

I have boarded my flight to Detroit. I got to go through the metal detector this time, but TSA did a secondary screening on my carry-on so they could swab my chocolate. I don't even know.
Props to everyone working at the airport today. That was a special hell.

Oh, airports. My nephew was one of the lucky ones to spend 4-5 hours stuck on a plane on the tarmac at Atlanta last night. His mother was quick out of the gate to reserve him a hotel room, so he did have a good bed to go to once he was actually allowed off the plane, and he has enough status on Delta to have a 1st class seat to his destination today.
I just spent nearly 3 hours wrapping presents, so I'm in quite the holiday mood. A bad one, that is.
