Speaking of run ... Duke and I took our pre-Christmas run a little early. Someone put more Christmas decor around the trail. So fun. I'm going to remember this for next year and maybe add a few around our neighborhood trail. It was like a little treasure hunt.
I bought this book for a holiday read with my grandson (eventually). It's a sweet story from the 1960s. Someone recommended it as their favorite childhood Christmas story. Mine is Santa Mouse (I have my original copy), but this one is good too.
I finished The Wind in the Willows. A classic - beautiful book with illustrations. It's a keeper.
One final crayon wrapping ...
If I have myself together next year, it would be fun to do an entire wrapping like this for next year. A little crafting project for December that looks pretty under the tree.
The yarn never came from Amazon (I ended up canceling the order) and I have plenty of little hats, but I'm bummed to be finished. I like the kind of mindless (low skill level) crafting while I'm sitting at my desk. I have my eyes out for more projects like this to use for little package accessories.
I'm giving out wildflower seeds again this year in lieu of Christmas cards. They came in the mail -- I have to package for my neighbors and local friends. Toss and grow. Couldn't be easier. Most of my friends used them and enjoyed the summer flowers (so did the bees).
I'm up early and heading to Whole Foods as it opens. Final grocery store run for the salad fixings and veggies. I have to double back this afternoon to pick up the pot pies and quiches, but it's worth a double drive to avoid the shit-show that will be Whole Foods by this afternoon.
Hanging on for 3 more days. Goal is to also enjoy the days. I'm already planning how to ease my December for next year. #1 is NO BIG TRAVEL during the month.
Best to all of us living in the kitchen right now. Relief is around the corner. Later gators.
