Let's see... how was this Christmas?
I gave away all the presents I wanted, and am fairly pleased with the ones I received in return. A couple are still to come, but my mother gave us some lovely calendars and $50 each to spend as we wish (I have my eye on either a Sleep Machine (simulates the sounds of waves, rain, or a train on tracks to ease you to sleep) or a Bast statue from Quagga), and George and I gave each other a "teaser" present, in my case a lovely little Goddess Christmas tree ornament, and for him a collectors tin of Werthers caramels.
As for the ones I gave away... my mother LOVED the printer George and I gave her, a Canon Pixma IP4000. Many people on my gift list this year received silk-tassel-and-gemstone bookmarks from a local artisan, and Terri and Roger ended up with some handmade pottery (soup server and casserole dish).

cockatiel_art, a scented trivet, some Christmas lights, and a plastic offering bowl in a harvest theme. There were others, but darned if I can remember them all right now or be arsed to go get the list from the living room, lol.
Today I'd planned to go to some Boxing Day sales but ended up sidelined in bed with depression/sensory overload -- not pleasant, but after two days of intense social activity not exactly a surprise either. Perhaps tomorrow I'll make it out, or at the least on Wednesday, when I have an appointment to see my doctor for diabetes management.
And I'm almost feeling well enough to return to step training. Almost. Hopefully in the next day or two I'll get back on that horse again. Also, I hope to catchmatrixrefugee online to do a bit of Christmas RP, both in the DegSep universe and (hopefully) in the A.I. universe.
