inspired by terry's enumeration, i'll make a little list of my accomplishments and obligations.

accomplishments:

• all my presents are bought except for one. that one will be purchased this weekend — it requires a special trip.

• one present is still being made, but i'm in the home stretch, no rush necessary.

• presents are wrapped except for those i had shipped straight from the stores.

• yesterday we shipped packages to perrysburg and alexandria, to arrive wednesday and friday, respectively.

• my cookies are baked, unless i feel like making more. eight different kinds will do, for crying out loud.

• made it through this week, which was harder than it looked.

now the daunting part.

obligations:

• drop lunch off to board at the vet this morning.

• drive to burlington, board airplane, fly to new york.

• meet people for brunch on sunday. shop. walk. doctor's appointment.

• return late tuesday night (plane arrives at 11:30 pm).

• pick up cat early wednesday morning from boarding. drive to boston to drop cat off for radiation. drive back home from boston wednesday evening.

• finish christmas prep as necessary.

• drive back to boston friday evening. pick cat up early saturday. drive back to montpelier and pick up other cat. take both cats to board saturday before 1 pm.

• fly to perrysburg sunday morning.

i am tired just thinking about it.
