Rob has by now safely landed in Louisville, and I'm sitting here in the calm and the quiet, drinking a buttery nipple, playing Minesweeper without flags, and intermittently adding new things to my to do list. Little Girl occasionally messes up my Minesweeper game by butting her head against my elbow.

I love the peace. It's wonderful to have some time when I'm not around anybody. I don't know how introverts will survive a few thousand years from now in the world of Soylent Green. They'll probably knowingly volunteer for the "relocation."

I'm learning great life lessons from Minesweeper. When you've got a lot to do, do the easy stuff first. The hard stuff just might vanish!

I finally finished my online shopping. Dear Lord, who shops in person any more? First of all, they'd have to be able-bodied enough to go to a mall. Then they'd have to have a LOT of free time in case the first few stores they visited were crowded, didn't have what they needed, or had long lines. They'd have to live near the people they're giving gifts to, or if they're getting on six planes in the next ten days like I am, they'd have to be willing to do the packing and shipping themselves (see also that bit about free time). Who the heck is THAT relaxed and has THAT little to do AND isn't traveling, at this time of year? I want to meet them. I will then steal their parking place because I need it more.

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good about that shopping thing. I got in just under the wire and didn't have to ship anything second day air, not anything at all. Yay me!

I am also nicely and lightly and genteelly drunk. You may all make fun of this entry so that when I see it and its comments tomorrow I am mortified.
