adulting update however

I have purchased, wrapped, and mailed all of my Christmas presents except for two (which are fancy almond pastries that have to be overnighted). I have about fifteen more holiday cards to send, but I've sent about ten. 

ETA: also, my dad is up walking about on his new knee. Today is his first full day of work since the surgery. I am mildly surprised that everything seems to be going well, but also terribly relieved.
