A quick look at the day, in lines
Was out today instead of taking time off to rest, as per Ma's advice, and now she's fretting that I'm going to wear myself out before I can enjoy the holidays. Aw. Told her that the down time will come when it will come - holiday preps won't take care of themselves, after all.
In any case, I pretty much had a half-day off, anyway. Today's blessings:
- mailed the third and last batch of Christmas cards, huzzah!
- picked up the senior citizen "loot bags" aka free canned goods and t-shirts from Makati City Hall
- spent a profitable afternoon at Cash-n-Carry, where I:
- found a little stall doing the "3 for Php100" thing on native sweets, and rejoiced at finding Christmas presents
- surprised the staff at Big Apple Express Spa with their sweet stuff
- bought a laptop cooler and two disc pudding cases from CD-R King
- bought boxed food for the gods, fruit cake, and fresh fruits as presents
- bought miscellaneous other items
Hubby totes forgot to retrieve my CD-R King stuff from the package counter, so we have to do a fly-by past Cash-n-Carry after his monthly checkup. I have presents for all our "nearest and dearest" at Makati Med, to wit:
- Dr. Gatmaitan
- Dr. De La Rosa
- Agnes (Dr. G's secretary and right hand office manager)
- the ER staff
- the 6/F Circular Wing staff
Am now remembering that poor Dr. Batungbacal and his staff has been left out of the cold...oh dear. Must remedy that situation. Also need to add Dr. Rivera and Dr. Yumol, Dad's golfing cronies, to the gift list.
So...hopefully by tomorrow afternoon, I will be having a nap to make up for the sleep deficit. We'll see.
