Okay, I’m better. I’m feelin’ the spirit here, folks. <\/p>\n

I did my Christmas shopping today – in about 2 hours – at the Searstown mall (which isn’t called the Searstown mall anymore, it’s called something else!). And as for the tree situation – someone at Amanda’s work gave her a 3′ fake tree (with lights) after hearing that we had no tree, saying that we “had to have a tree.” So, we’ve got a tree – which I put up today \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Our little <\/span>tree.<\/p>\n

The tree and presents.

In other news, last night some people dropped by – it turns out the house was being shown, but the real estate agent didn’t notify anyone<\/span> in the house about it. The potential (and probable) new owners are very nice – I spoke with them at length about the house, the shape of our apartment, and other things. I even looked at the apartment in front of mine (which is very <\/span>nice, but unfortunately not any larger and therefore not worth the effort of moving). So, that put me in a good mood – the thought of having owners who are actually around <\/span>when you need them, and who actually want to take care of the house.<\/p>\n

So, once again I’m in a good mood. Tomorrow I’ll be out & about all day, as you’d expect, but you can expect a full report on Sunday. Until then – Merry Christmas everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
