Current Mood : Weary
Spent on eBay dolls yesterday : $13.50
Back to the ole grind. Did some laundry and tidy work, and goofed around some. This evening - since Melody drained my PayPal account, no more eBay trawling ! - I set out to store all that gorgeous lace I bought Saturday. Took every last recycled ziplock-type bag we had, but it's all sorted and stored, and believe me when I say it took hours. I donated several pieces, too. Stuff I know I won't ever use. But it was still kind of a wrench to see those old-time piece-goods tickets, knowing that lace - ten yards at 79c a yard - was purchased over twenty years ago. It didn't change anything, there was no way I'd find a use for it, no matter what its history was. But it was an odd sort of nostalgia.
With just ten days to go ‘til Christmas, I find myself sort of on edge. I want it over with, truthfully, so parking lots aren't dangerous to pedestrians, and aren't jammed with traffic at 8am. I'm very lucky in that Dearest Son is the only person we buy for - the rest of the family decided years ago to just visit, and not exchange gifts. It makes things much easier and less worrisome, but it also makes things a lot less exciting.
I'm also a bit disappointed in m'self that I haven't done anything for the folks at Dearest's school this year. Never even attempted the felt star project. Beloved Hubby said I don't have to do anything I don't want to, and I'm seriously not much in a holiday mood... but I kinda wish I'd planned things a bit better this year, ya know ?
