I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The flowers to my parents today were a HIT.

Yay!

It seems most of their facility is locked down.

Boo.

she is the Harriet the Spy of that place, I swear

Hee!

I know food is my answer to everything, but what about sending them either some treat kind of thing or a restaurant dinner?

We'll meet up with Emmett on xmas eve (in the early afternoon) in the same parking lot in Marin (midway between us) and hand off presents. I'll give him a tray of lasagna too and some cinnamon rolls to make on xmas morning that that's how we're going to roll.

Aw, that's nice.

Way ahead of you Jesse, I am ordering them breakfast treats from Porto's tomorrow morning. I have 7 more days of this.

Then I'm out of ideas!

You're a good daughter, msbelle. I love that your mom is on top of everything.

Hec, shouldn't you spoiler-font JZ's stocking stuffer?

I plan on a small grocery delivery also. Then maybe a pound of coffee.

Spoke to soon. When IT asks for a quick favor I feel it is in my best interests to help them troubleshoot...

I love the little treat deliveries, msbelle! Those are all good ones.

It's like an advent calendar, but for quarantine.

Aw, my Williams-Sonoma package turned out to be assorted fancy olive oils from my parents. What a great Hanukkah present! Not coals to Newcastle at all, I happen to be pretty much out of olive oil as well.

After SNL shamed me for not doing a better job filling JZ's stocking I went to the ... she's got a Fancy Stocking ... That's very full.

I, apparently, discussed the full stocking concept seriously enough with my DP that he went out today and bought more things. And now I have two filled stockings hanging on the doorknob and several, wrapped overflow presents under the tree. I may have overemphasized the "full" part. I also failed to mention that we typically don't stuff the stockings until late Christmas eve, but that is 100% OK!

I'm having spiked eggnog, and there's a casserole in the oven. We also had a stupid tiff about an hour ago. People are so hard, man. I mean, I know I'm people, too, and all. Ah, well. We've discussed. Dinner should be pleasant when it's time, I think.
