Apparently they have already got him a suit for an amazing price. They are having fun. Shopping on one of the busiest shopping days of the year is not my idea of fun though so I am glad I got to stay home.<\/p>\n<p>In theory I am cleaning up from Christmas. In practice I slept very late, fixed some leftovers and have gotten very little done. I hope to get some things done before they come home though. At the very least I will put away my Christmas presents and break up all the cardboard boxes for the recycle bin. But I get distracted.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first gifts I moved out of the family room was a special &quot;day light&quot; light that is supposed to help with <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Seasonal_affective_disorder\">seasonable affective disorder<\/a>.&#160; I don&#8217;t know that I have it for sure but I do know that I really crave the sunlight when I don&#8217;t get any for a while. I set up the light in my office which has no windows and there for no natural light. I like the way it feels so I decided to blog a bit for a while. It&#8217;s medical &#8211; that&#8217;s my story and I&#8217;m sticking with it.<\/p>\n<p>I have a number of things that I have to put together. Why is it that I always get stuff like that? One or two I will try to do today but that garden wagon can wait I think. There is too much snow outside to use it anyway. So I will move it down to the cellar and put it together there one night when TV is boring. Given the writer&#8217;s strike there will probably be a lot of boring TV nights real soon.<\/p>\n<p>Besides things that have to be put together I seem to get organization tools. This year I got some sort of box with 31 slots (one for each day of the month?) and some drawers. It&#8217;s nice but will it help? History suggests no but I&#8217;ll try. I think the only thing that would really get me organized is a professional assistant. Though to be fair Outlook has been a huge help and goes a long way towards keeping me on track and sane.<\/p>\n<p>No clothing this year. Thank goodness. I have more clothing then I know what to do with already. A few gadgets though and those are always good. A handheld Sududo game which I expect to enjoy on some flights. And the best gift of all is a new Magellan GPS. That will get lots of use.<\/p>\n<p>Well I have another week off now. This is the only time of the year when I take a vacation that doesn&#8217;t involve traveling somewhere and doing something.&#160; It sort of feels like a waste but I can really use the mental and physical down time. I hope you are all getting and enjoying some down time of your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So Mrs T is out shopping with our son.
