I’ve been at it all day and I have almost all of my packages wrapped and ready for the mail. I’ve completely run out of energy though so I’m calling it quits. I will have time tomorrow to finish up the wrapping so I can be at the post office first thing on Monday. I’ll have quite a collection of parcels so I made need to take two or three trips from my car to the post office. I heard today that Monday is the last day for mailing parcels at “regular” rates – whatever that means – so I expect there will be line-ups.

Many years, when I’m this far along with wrapping, I break out a bottle of something festive. I think it is a sign of my age because I think rather than a festive drink I’m going to go have a nap!
