I have no idea what picture I would use for this post... one of those old Doan commercials. I have been wrapping gifts for hours. I am not nearly done but my feet and back hurt, hurt, hurt and I still haven't washed dishes or clothes. The only cure for my back and feet is sitting down a moment and relaxing both. Its going to snow tonight, hence, the decoration today on this website ---  I will believe it when I see the snowflakes, myself.  Leon would have  a fit if he actually thought I wanted snow.
NO MATTER how hard I try I never get the presents quite right - I am giving L. gift shawl to B. because I didn't have enough for B. - etc. somehow it will all even out, I suspect, but I buy/make gifts over months so sometimes I over buy/make for one while neglecting another... is this unconscious favoritism? Don't answer that question, it was rhetorical.  Does anyone else ever do that kind of thing ... now, lets see - 10 gifts for A. and 2 gifts for B. How do I even this equation off. A (10) + B(2) = A (6) B (6)  =   what have I done?
(why do they have no variety of smiley faces on this site?)
Well, I have to clean up. I forgot to weigh myself today - I more than likely lost more weight. Last time I weighed myself it was 182 and that was the day after Thanksgiving - perhaps tomorrow I will remember to do it. Today I got up with Leon and as soon as he left and my coffee was made I started moving things around and getting my supplies out to wrap.

When at last the day is done,
last things said,
let it be
that I was generous to my friends
(to a mighty and surprising fault!)
and rather a puzzle to all.
