Busy Days Ahead

Today I got 2 of my errands done early in the morning. I'm going to do the grocery shopping tomorrow so that I can get there when the store opens and it's almost empty. The advantage to that is that you can get a close parking space and you don't have to wait to check out. Later in the day I'll wrap some gifts. I'm not in the mood to do that today. I don't feel like fighting with 2 cats. On Christmas Eve morning I'll bake and in the afternoon I'll make 3 of the dishes we'll need for Christmas dinner. I've had a request for potato soup for Christmas Eve so I'll do that later in the afternoon. Somewhere between baking and cooking I'll go to pick up D. so that he can spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with us. That will be a busy, busy, day. I'm already looking forward to after dinner so that I can relax. However, it is all a labor of love.
