Right. The CD is as done as it's getting (there are some things that could stand to be re-recorded, yet again, but I'm not going to, and a couple tracks that are going to have to wait until next year... and I realized part-way through that I did start at sort of a disadvantage since I lost all the stuff I was working on but didn't finish with in time for last year's CD...) and I've done all the handsewing for my parents (smocking for a shift for my mother, and my father wanted all the little tags that were coming off the backs of his ties sewn back on. Which is possibly the most boring christmas present ever, but given how much I hate getting around to sewing buttons back on, I suppose I can understand the appeal of having someone else deal with it) and everything for tomorrow is wrapped and under the tree.

Now I just need to stay sufficiently stressed about something else that I don't relax so much I get horribly sick for new year's. And yet... I have three new books to read. (LMBujold's Beguilement, the third Sorcery & Cecelia, and a new Diana Wynne Jones book that I didn't even know had come out until I went to order the other two. Books!!!!)
