Busted out the iron today, for the first time in at least a year. Gotta melt some crafts under parchment paper to get them to stay in one piece. Not for laundry purposes. I’m not that duty bound, thankfully. We’re not exactly a three piece suit & tie family here. No dry cleaning runs being made around these parts. No sir. Wash, dry & fold only. The occasional pre-soak, or re-wash for a pesky grass stain. Perhaps even some pre-treatment prior to going for a plunge, but we don’t iron.
I did stop out for gas, glad to see it below $1.40/Litre, but I’d be shitting kittens if it goes even lower. Always a plus for us working stiffs, am I right. I’d like to go back to the $65 tank filling days if at all possible. Stopped off for snacks and beverages for the birthday party for my eldest this coming Sunday. Indoors this year. Masked if at all possible. I mean, I know we will wear masks, and a few others will do so too, but eh!?! Only so much I can hint & ask people to do, without it being mandated. Also we have someone to lead the gang of kids through games, so it’s not up go me keep them all entertained this year. That should be great fun. Happy about that. I might actually have a chance to enjoy myself? Hm. Maybe?
I completed a 50 page report in just under 48 hours, so that was pretty good. Gave me a full day and a half to rest up before I get the edits & final fixes back. Prepping for the next one as we speak. Although I think it’ll come in closer to Friday, if not next Monday. No rush. I’m in a good spot, now that 2 of the possible four/five (I’ve lost track) are out the door before December has even started. I am now comfortable knowing I won’t get all items in over the same ten day span, so I am relieved, and more than happy to chug along as the items come in now.
All bar one present has been wrapped now. My wife’s items finally arrived via the post. And I do hope my youngest’s gift arrives before too much longer. The notice said between Dec 8th – 29th. Which is a long stretch. I hope it comes earlier rather than later. In-laws are up next, my folks, and a few remaining nieces and nephews.
Speaking of which, I should go order that stuff now, so it has a chance to arrive before Christmas. Take care out there.
