  • It’s world AIDS Day. Please don’t forget. There will be ceremonies all over the world to remember those who have died of AIDS. There will be moments like that of Mama’s Kitchen here, above, to remember those who died and still suffer from AIDS. So many friends. Such brilliance lost.
  • Here, the Christmas tree is decorated, massive numbers of boxed decorations are in a pile to go to the store, and the remaining five boxes are up in our attic. Bedroom’s dusted too. Many years ago, when our plastic tree began outgassing and dying, I would spend a week hiding its defects under Christmas balls. This year putting the balls on only took a few hours. I sat downstairs with the tree for a while yesterday just enjoying the space.
  • Mr Shoptillyoudrop finished all the family Christmas shopping yesterday. He found bargains, arranged wrapping, and delivery all from online. After we had gone out to view the product….of course. I have to do some fast wrapping this morning as the oldest child will be arriving shortly.
  • My cast comes off tomorrow. I cannot imagine how dear G has lived with me and the cast outgassing such an awful odor. I never remember my leg cast smelling this bad….did I say that? I can hardly wait.
