Why, Hello There!

So it's been a quiet day, more or less. I slept delightfully late, til nearly 8:00, and then got around to my missions. My head wasn't foggy, and really wasn't all day, so I guess I'm more or less better. I went to Lowe's, where every tree was seven feet or more, and then stopped at KMart because it was on the way, where I saw The Perfect Tree, but of course, it was out of stock. I ended up getting a six foot tree that really has a much smaller profile than our old tree, without lights built in. (The perfect tree was nicely shaped and had colored lights, but all they had in stock was that tree with clear lights, a definite no-no here.) And the tree I got was very reasonably priced. It's still in the car, but I may set it up tomorrow morning, even though we won't be decorating it for a couple of weeks, because R is going away next weekend.

Of course Barnes and Noble had calendars, just not the calendars I was looking for. I get each of the girls a calendar each year with their current favorite TV show or movie, so this year I was looking for a Torchwood for R (filmed in Cardiff, where she lived for a year) and a Dr. Who for K, but it seems I will need to go to a store in the United Kingdom for these, so, no luck. But R tells me there's a good calendar kiosk in one of the close malls, so I can go there and pick up a Futurama and a Simpsons, both old stand-bys. Or maybe two Futuramas this year. I'll see what they have.

And I got my other errands done, and then when R came for the afternoon we went out to IHOP for lunch, and other than that, I've been in, reading and whatnot. I re-created my Christmas list, and I swear something's missing, but I went through the pile of gifts (which gets smaller in year, not in number, but in physical size) and everything's accounted for, so I don't know what I think is missing, but I know the total money spent for each of the girls is less now than it was. Which would be fine, but I think it just means that I'm not counting something.

Tomorrow morning, I have no intention of waking up until I'm absolutely interested in doing so. Nowhere to go, no errands to do. What a lovely luxury it is to sleep in.
