and 3 more boxes packed and in garage.
now shower and bed. tomorrow is month-end close which should only be a minor cluster since we were up-to-date on things through 11-26 and did not ship anything Thursday. Still, am hoping to get in early just in case.
So, have a friend who is going through an emotionally trying time right now. I want to get her something to pamper herself. I would ordinarily get a gift cert to a spa, but she is not comfortable being touched by strangers, so she doesn't really enjoy massages or facials. She's okay with a mani/pedi, but I feel like that isn't indulgent enough. Any thoughts on what I can get her?
Is there a Korean spa anywhere near her? Those usually have lots of hot tubs and various mineral-infused rooms and don't need to have touching, though may need nakedness?
House cleaner or handyman time to help her take care of things she can't get to? Chef made meals for her freezer? Add hair and make up to mani/pedi? Personal trainer time?
Car detailing, if she has a car?
Would she like one of those relaxation/immersion things? If she is like me, the real gift would be setting the darn appointment up for me.
Nigel sent me a nice note, and thus the end, for now, of my theatre career. But now I have more time, and I might get to start working on standardized patient scenarios at work
Food delivery gift cards are always nice.
ltc is already cranky about no school. It's going to be a long day.

I bet she's not as cranky as I am.
(It's very slushy/icy here and I completely agree with the decision to close, but WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WITH THESE STIR CRAZY KIDS ALL DAY WHEN I'M TRYING TO WORK)
Jessica, I'm sorry you have to work. I don't know what I'm going to do with this kiddo, but it may involve teaching her to do laundry.
I said something to a coworker this morning about how four days is just enough time for me to get really into the groove of not working, and she was basically like, "FOUR DAYS IN THE HOUSE WITH KIDS THANK GOD SCHOOL WAS OPEN TODAY I'M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE!"
Stay strong, parents.
