I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.

One of the best things about being here in the US is the shopping.

I did all my Christmas shopping online this year. And because we’re not driving around so much anymore, I now do my weekly odds-and-ends shopping online too.

The result, unfortunately, is a complete mess in the room we inhabit. Hopefully it’ll ease a little when I send the Christmas presents out.

I need space.
