[Magdalen] I'm done

[Jay Weigel]

I sent off the last of the business packages (unless I get another order,
not likely at this date but you never know....) and a package to Montana
today. Now all that remains are the big package to Tennessee, which might
actually end up being two, and the listgiv. Not all of the presents I
ordered for S/O have arrived, but at least I'm getting notices that they've
shipped, so fingers are crossed. Christmas will be pretty low-key here,
just the two of us.
