Parcel arrives, now Christmas can begin

The days are beginning to roll into one as (a) nothing much has been happening and (b) I’m still feeling crappy. Not been able to shake this bug/virus whatever it is. Ottawacker Jr. has though – even if we are taking things slowly with him – and was off to school this a.m. bright and early.
 
Mrs. Ottawacker on the final day of her mad database transfer. Starting at ungodly hours and working non-stop. Hopefully today’s shift will mark the end of it all.
 
Excitement of the day: my parcel arrived from the UK. The postal strike rumbles on, with rumours of staff being legislated back to work, but nothing concrete. So, I used FedEx. Thankfully it arrived with less hassle than the last time I used it. Now have a big box of things to go through, secretly of course, as Ottawacker Jr.’s Christmas presents are all in there.
 
Friday dinner of pizza and a movie. Watched Die Hard, which Mrs. Ottawacker hadn’t seen and Ottawacker Jr. wasn’t keen on. Both thoroughly enjoyed it though. Graciously allowed Mrs. Ottawacker to decorate the tree.
