During Carrie's split-shift we went to Sonja's, Ever After, and Bartel's, the first place to put out more jewelry, the second place to deliver an order, and the third to buy some bubble wrap for me.
Carrie took a nap in the late afternoon and I finished up a Thirsty Robots order and ran it down to the Neighborhood Market to mail. She never even knew I was gone. High-five! For din-dins I made macaroni & cheese and tossed in a can of tuna (I of course gave a tiny little bit to Fantastico as well, seeing as how it is her most bestest favoritest food EVAR).
Carrie taught class in the evening, and I stayed home and wrapped a gift of hers as well as some stocking stuffers. Yes, the Hamm family traditionally wraps stocking stuffers, which I still think is about the biggest waste of wrapping paper humanly possible. I mean, they're going in a stocking. Isn't that the wrapping on them? They're the only family I've ever heard of that individually wraps stocking stuffers.
I took Carly's order down to her at the Bead Factory before it closed, then I came home and cleaned the living room up nice and good-like. It were real durned purdy. By the time Carrie came home we were both absolutely starving, so she ate the rest of the macaroni w/tuna, and I had some cookies & milk. Not satisfied yet, we nuked some Hot Pockets and ate 'em all up in bed as a ferocious windstorm hit the Pacific Northwest.
It was pretty crazy! And very loud. And windy (obviously). We were lucky in that we retained power. Some 700,000 people were not so lucky. Our lights flickered quite a bit, and a couple of times the TeleVision turned itself off, and my computer here shut itself off at some point during the night. But everything was fine in our house in the morning. Thankfully the sump pump didn't stop! What with all the rain it's been going off every 30 seconds or so.
