So I actually arrived in Virginia, as you probably guessed. There was leftover steak pizza to celebrate my arrival, and just like last time, I fell into bed without carrying much of anything in the house. I was just too tired. I’m getting too old, it appears.

This morning was spent sleeping in. I am on vacation after all, and I was worn out when I got here. We went on the mega pre-Christmas shopping trip this afternoon. Mama gets a senior citizen discount on Tuesdays, so we try to get whatever we need then. It was a full cart.

I had help from family this evening on emptying the car. The desk in the room that I’m using has been cleaned off, so I’ve set up a workspace. Conceivably, I’ll work on that manuscript that’s been lying around. Right now, however, there’s still cleaning and Christmas-related tasks to accomplish. Tomorrow we’re running errands to gather the last-minute things we need for gifts and such stuff.
