I hate doing laundry. I'd probably hate it less if I did it before I have a mountain of the stuff. I didn't get the cleaning done I wanted to do, either. I mean, I don't actually mind cleaning, you understand. Sometimes I rather enjoy it. I'm not sure why I didn't do it. (Well, yes, I am. See below.) And before I went to bed last night, I realized the kitchen sink is backing up, so I have to call the apartment people and get that fixed.

Today I brought in my mother's gifts and boxed them up, ready for shipping.

Tomorrow I have two more very small boxes to send and then I'm pretty much set for the holidays. Oh, I ordered a few things that are still in transit and I'll have to wrap them when they arrive. And I haven't made any decision about Christmas lunch, but I have almost two weeks to worry about that.

AFter the shipping, I can sit back, smug in the knowledge that I've done all I should do.

Except clean house.
