Gotta love Amazon. I had two items set to arrive on separate days so my son and partner could tell their boxes apart but see today that they'd have been better shipped together, then his gift would have at least been inside another box. I just saw the delivery photo on his porch, and there is the branded box of the kettle just sitting there with an address label slapped on the side. I texted and told him to act surprised.

Running around this afternoon to lesser visited places was still a struggle. Looks like everyone is trying to finish ahead of the traditional shopping zoo that is xmas eve. The cat care jobs runs through Saturday, and I have only one side trip tomorrow, to a quiet spot to pick up the cleaned Persian carpets. Gifts for the kids.

Now to finish picking up around here and get a few things wrapped.
