It's been a few days. I put up the loveliest little Christmas tree! Just the purtiest, most fragrant Douglas Spruce you ever did see. A birthday (not mine) came and went and was sadder than usual. I went to Seattle and tried to accomplish a little Christmas shopping and failed miserably. I did however, get a really nice pair of knee-socks for myself. I have holiday parties to attend. However, I would really like to watch Christmas cartoons and sleep.
