shannon_aYesterday evening I had folks over for my review-gaming night. (We played Sobek and Water Lily by newcomer Game Works and I was very pleasantly surprised by both.) Afterward, I looked around and realized that I could do whatever I wanted for the next ten days. Whew!
So I went back to working on a variety of writing projects and did some reading, pretty much like any other night.
But more relaxed, because anything I didn't finish I could work on the next day or the next or the next.
Those of you read this journal won't be too surprised by our Christmas Eve. We biked to the dog park, watched dogs, catsat Caruso a bit, went up to Nations for dinner (and pie, though the latter we saved for snack just now), then came home. There was some K. sleeping along the way and a bit of light watching. We haven't done our usual Christmas Eve light browsing due to pie logistics but will tomorrow or the day after.
This evening we watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, which we see every couple of years on either Halloween or Christmas, and wrapped some presents.
Tomorrow there will be a bit of family and unwrapping of presents.
(Our family visits are spread out nowadays: the Wiedlins usually visit on Christmas; my sister and her bf usually visit a few weeks later on their way to Hawaii; and then we see the rest of the Appels when we visit Hawaii a few weeks later.)
