Handed over the just-finished kitty-quilt to my coworker who'd requested it for her granddaughter. She was very pleased with it. I feel highly virtuous.
I've got an Advent calendar stashed in my drawer at work, full of truffles. The coworkers I'm sharing it with (who sit at the same desk island with me -- it's two truffles a day, so we won't be going particularly short) are both looking forward to the start of December.
Wait. December starts in three days. Panic! Panic!

"Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Smite flat the thick rotundity o' the world!"
-- Lear, King Lear, Act III, Scene 1
