Progress report
Dec. 21st, 2007 10:49 pmOutgoing mail: CDs for
one_if_by_land and
two_if_by_sea in the post. They'll probably arrive after Christmas though. Three to go, and those will definitely arrive after Christmas, so I may as well relax a little. XD
Feedback indicates strong approval ratings for: handwriting, excessive glitter. I think the only people who didn't say something about my handwriting have gotten multiple mailings from me before and the novelty presumably wore off. XD; Even the clerk at the post office mentioned it. It's very odd to be complimented repeatedly on a personal feature I have basically no control over and that requires no effort on my part. Like being told all the time that one has a nice nose, maybe?
Incoming mail: got the tea and chocolates,
bladderwrack! ^___^
Remnants of project work: successfully navigated. Was up til 5 working on one thing and back up by 9 to make a meeting for something else. So I got this giant gingerbread spice latte that actually kept me fully alert and energized all day (until about an hour ago when I started drinking valerian tea to wind it down). That and all the brisk walking due to--
Christmas shopping: done. NO RLY. Though I am not really getting anything for friends this year, and for that matter I don't think anyone's getting anything for me - we're all sort of broke. XD It was more of a slog than usual due to there being a foot of snow covering everything.
Wrapping: not done.
Shovelling snow: not done.
Cranberry sauce: not done. I have all the ingredients though, it's going to be literally awesomesauce. XDD
SSBB: uh... totally not going to be done by tomorrow. XD;; Working on it, though.
