Could be worse
Here's an interesting True Fact. Every year, right towards the end of the year, eBay has held a surprise free or discounted listing fee day...this has happened for at LEAST six years in a row I can remember for sure.
They never tell you until the evening before, but it's pretty much a sure thing. So WHY have I spent so much time doinking around the past few days instead of getting ready for it? Did I really think it would NOT come on the ONE day I already had two different appointments that it would be a huge pain to cancel? HAH!
Oh, well, what's the fun of doing something if there isn't a bit of a CHALLENGE to it? I've buckled down and gotten most of the stuff I could pre-do tonight done, and tomorrow will just have to unroll as it will.
Except for tonight's little drama(s), it has been a lovely, fun, lazy, enjoyable holiday here at the Chez de la Poisson Unrulee. Today and yesterday I used two of my gifts for long stretches of time--a new memory foam mattress topper (oh, YEAH baby!) (with my Christmas money from you, Mom!) and Feast for Crows by George RR Martin. This morning I continued stress-testing the foam while Caro and Mike went to the re-opening of the Wal-mart, where Mike scored the one thing he REALLY wanted that we hadn't sprung for, one of those 8 foot tall air decorations, for 75% off. (with HIS Christmas money from you, Mom!) They didn't have a train or a snowglobe, but he's pretty happy with his tree.
I'll see you all again when I come out of my eBay-imposed exile on Wednesday.
