A good day
Dec. 15th, 2025 10:20 pmGot up this morning at 10:30, had breakfast and coffee, showered and dressed. I got a phone call from Middle Brother's group home about some paperwork I had to take care of, and she told me how well he was doing.
The mail came early today, so I got it and got three Christmas cards, two of them being from people that I was pretty sure were going to send me cards but whose addresses I didn't have to send them cards first. And one I wasn't expecting at all but was delighted to get, from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lauramcewan. Thank you!
Then I went out to Flushing to Duane Reade and got wrapping paper, which I was out of, and package labels, and something for Middle Brother's stocking.
Then I came back and made out those three cards, and I got Elissa's address frommashfanficchick so I got her card made out too. And that finishes my Christmas cards unless I get another unexpected one.
I got a load of cardboard recycling together, and took it out and went around the block and mailed the cards. So that's taken care of. And they were working on the front door lock!! So maybe it's finally gonna' be fixed, after all my complaints.
Then I set down to wrapping. I got all of Middle Brother's things wrapped, and a few others as well. I also got all the presents sorted out and in separate bags so I can know how much there is for everyone.
Then I puttered online for awhile and then went into the bedroom and played solitaire for awhile, until it was time to Team the FWiB. But we had to wait awhile because he hadn't charged his earphones, so while he did that I used the private messaging on Ship-of-fools to send a message to Croesos, just to keep in touch. Hope he answers.
Teamed the FWiB for an hour and a half, then had dinner, and went to the bedroom to lie down til pet feeding time. Came out then and fed the pets.
The one downer of the day, discovered that a lightbulb in my living room ceiling light has blown out. It's dim in here now. Have to replace it tomorrow, not fun. Really miss Oldest Brother helping me with that.
But anyway, that was the day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Got Christmas cards.
3. Maybe the door's going to be fixed.
4. Some wrapping done.
5. My cards are all sent.
6. Nice warm apartment.
