All Wrapped Up

legalmooseI did the annual wrapping of all the Xmas presents for the husband this afternoon, while monitoring work email for an audit thing I needed from the big boss. Got the wrapping done, and even made two of them fancy with actual tied ribbon, which is a Xmas miracle because I am the worst person at wrapping presents. I have no patience for the process, and would happily dump everything in bags and tissue paper, but for the husband's very disapproving looks whenever I suggest that option. But hey, self-tied ribbon. Also, that's not to say there aren't gift bags courtesy Amazon and some smart assed ones I couldn't resist ("Alexa said you'd like this" on one, and "Hint: It's not a hippopotamus" on another). And, all of the stocking stuff is ready as well, with yet another gift bag for some candy overflow. Yes, I'm passive aggressive about the bags.
Will need to stop by the local grocer at some point as well, if we can ever talk about what else we want to eat on Friday. You'd think we'd have done so on one of the legs of the trip to the comic shop, but no, we didn't. Oh well.
Video calls set with his family tomorrow. And we'll probably do the same with my family on Friday.
So bring on the four day weekend, for on Monday we find out if Congress can and will override a veto, and if they'll do something else to provide funding beyond that Monday, when funds run out (unless the President signs the big relief bill, which has agencies' annual funding in it as well). Since there is zip I can do about that, I'm going to enjoy the holiday and leave the worry for Monday.
