Checking things off my list

The most important, time-sensitive packages have been wrapped and mailed to Indiana for the little girls. Second most-important - to MiL- will go out... soon. But elder niece's birthday is Tuesday, so- yeah. Don't wanna be a jerk about that. Remember folks- keep the box size under 12 inches if you don't want extra charges. Assuming that's an option. I forgot when wrapping up the Cute Overload calendars. Ooops.

I have accounted for all the major bills for the rest of the month, so I could deal with offering some charity- not much, but better than nothing. I already give monthly to NPR. Planned Parenthood is now part of that group. Both orgs have been instructed not to mail me anything more, so that's good. I was getting a deluge from PP. The final one is to go to the local library. I got a call from a nice but tired sounding woman last night. I had just unearthed the fundraiser letter and it was next on my list (next week I think), so I totally made her night. I was the first one she'd called who'd given her a positive reply. That made me feel both good and bad at the same time.

Except for one visit to Bob Slate, all that's left is stuff I have to make rather than buy.
