susandennisI'm not sure why but I've always been envious of the whole Boxing Day thing. When Christmas lands on a Sunday, here in the U.S. we finally get our own Boxing Day. Now that I have it, I'm not sure why I wanted it. Isn't that so often the way...
After my work panic of yesterday - where I counted the docs and counted the days and realized there were too many of the former and not enough of the latter to get the job done leisurely... I realized that I had counted wrong. The docs must be converted by the end of the year. I counted through this Friday. The official 'end of the year', due to holidays, however is next Tuesday giving me 3 more days which is way more than plenty. Doh. Plus, I did manage to polish off another of them last night.
I plan to get at least two done today.
I need to go to the grocery store but I can't see that is is going to be a good day for getting out and shopping for much of anything unless you are serious about after Christmas bargains. I think maybe in between the two doc converstions today, I'll stroll on over to the Japanese grocery. I can get eggs and bread and a treat or two over there and the stroll might not hurt either.

Olga Noel is in the Caribbean this holiday season with my friend Chaos and her family and has promised pictures for the Moo Sisters upon her return.

Date: 2005-12-26 09:02 pm (UTC)I need antihistamines and 81mg aspirin. I went to the one drugstore around here that carries my antihistamine of choice, and found them to be closed -- they close at 3:30 on Sundays (I didn't know this), today is logical Sunday, and I got there at 3:32.
