Christmas shopping

I’ve been going for about three hours, in and around folding clothes and bathing boys.  I really wanted to get done tonight, but getting to sleep has become more important.  I do have most of it figured out, and should be able to finish tomorrow without a problem.

I haven’t done any significant bricks-and-mortar Christmas shopping since 2000, such is my affection for online shopping.  But I’m getting in a bad habit of forgetting that while it is easier, it’s not nothing.  I do have to sit and do it, and it takes time.

Finish shopping tomorrow.  Cards Wednesday.
