Lolly, I'm so sorry to hear about your DCat, I hope you and DH have a quiet evening to come to terms with it tonight, and to tell each other some funny stories of DCat's antics as well as shed the tears.
Life is manic so I haven't been posting much, nor doing much Christmas prep or magic recently at all. We bought a few decorations for our tree in Liberty over the weekend (WOW, what a Christmas Dept!). There was a fabulous Mexican "Day of the Dead" type glittery skull ornament, which DH and I both loved, but reckoned that it would offend others within the wider family (and would be hard to transport home as it was glass), so we got 3 nice glass icicles instead (solid glass rather than hollow shapes).
Today's task, once I get home, is to find all the birthday presents I had organized for my family, wrap them, and pack them for tomorrow. (2 DSis, 1 DB, DM and DF). As I meet DM and possibly 1 DSis, and possibly DSIL married to that DB, for dinner for DM's birthday - DF has a different dinner and DB works in that hotel so we may see both of those although not eat with them). And as I won't get "home" until Christmas, I'd better pass them on now (birthdays range from early Sept to tomorrow). I have presents for the 2 girls, a card for DB, and need to get a few more bits organized for the others....oops.
It will all fall into place though, it normally does in some way!
