Woke up early and went to the gym with Mrs. Walker. Sent off all my Christmas cards (except for the ones that require photos, which I haven't developed yet).
Tried with little success to make Christmas cookies with Catherine, to the tune of her mother's traditional favorite John Denver Christmas album, featuring the lovely song "Please, Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas." We've clearly been watching too many episodes of QI, as our attempts were peppered with phrases such as "Bugger!" and "Will you hand me that one snowflake that looks like it's made of penises?"
Rode the Dad and Debra Express home. Frantically put all of Buzzy's family's presents in a box, sealed and addressed it, realized I hadn't put Robyn's package in, tore it all up and sealed and addressed it again, and immediately went back to town to mail it off.
Saw my grandfather, who is in an elder care facility because he fell and hurt his knee recently and needs physical therapy. He was great today, though. We had a good conversation about the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Picked up a Christmas tree with Dad and Ian.
Crashed and burned at some point. This always happens right after a stressful experience, like ten days on the road.
Talked to B on the phone for the first time in a long time. Yay. I am really excited to open her packages and those of her family... They are so sweet, in so many ways.
