Today's accomplishments
Well, I didn't get as much done on my Christmas projects today as I had intended. I did the embroidery for the general gifts for my parents and brother. But I had hoped to also work on the ones for my sister's family and the handkerchiefs for my sister... there's still plenty of time for those projects, of course, but I'm still hoping to embroider a full set of towels (2 bath/2 hand/2 wash cloths) for my dad, and "Turn the other cheek" underwear for my brother-in-law (yeah, giving underwear to my brother-in-law is a little weird, but I don't know anyone who would be likely to get a bigger kick out of them).
I did do well on the apartment cleaning front though. I cleaned up and vacuumed the living room, dining room, kitchen, and sitting room. And I washed the rest of the dishes and gave all the surfaces a more complete cleaning than they normally get. Also, I did laundry. So remaining on the cleaning front are the bathrooms and our bedroom. And since I just did laundry, the bedroom should be so bad.
On the entertainment front, I fought loneliness with 7 chapters of "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" on audio CD, the BBC version of "The Silver Chair", and two of my favorite "Firefly" episodes. I am, however, totally bummed out that the vacuum cleaner is so noisy... I totally would have watched and/or listened to more if it wasn't.
On the personal front, I took a shower and actually got dressed. Plus, I ate two full meals and also did some snacking.
All in all, it wasn't nearly so bad as I had feared... but I miss my husband. Also, I am already totally stressed out about my flight on Thursday... I wish I knew why travel caused me so much anxiety, and I wish I knew how to make it stop. I've already had two travel related nightmares recently, I think tied to this trip. Ugh.
