OK. Other than stocking stuffers, I have finished my Christmas shopping. WHAT. Tomorrow I need to wrap the set I'm sending to my niece + boyfriend and sister + wife (they are going to niece's in GA now) and send them off, and then that's that. Everything else I sent went directly to the recipients. And I didn't go overboard, which sometimes can happen with my last minute gifting.
As soon as I get my holiday stamps, I can send my holiday cards... or, if they don't come in the next couple of days it will a very Batman and old time baseball players holiday card extravaganza. Which is just fine.
This makes me happy. I don't think I've been this relaxed about the holiday season like this in... ever. Huh.
All I could get was flag stamps :-(. But I figured better to go with that and get them out than hold off for better.
I really need to get cards started tonight. I got the 3 packages mailed yesterday.
My Uncle Paul died of Covid today. His wife is still sick with it, but she seems to be doing better. He was the nicest man with 5 kids and lots of grandchildren who adored him.
I'm so sorry, sj. Love to you and your family.
My Mom's father absolutely hated his middle name, to the point I don't know what it actually was. He declared his middle name was just a Y, and began pitting "Y (only)" on forms that asked for a middle name.
Naturally this resulted in people thinking he was [firstname] Yonly [lastname].
I'm so sorry for your and your family's loss, sj.
