So, the basement is as done is it’s going to get. Other than cleaning (yetch) and straightening, we’re done until spring (or whenever we have another significant chunk of spare time.) Grandmom is getting settled in, and we’re getting into a routine (although Thanksgiving break threw that off).

But being able to sit down and catch my breath allowed me to realize that I am so far behind in e-mails and letters, I feel like I should steal a page from S, and request that people contact me telepathically, as it would be faster than waiting for me to write.

I owe so many people e-mail that just the idea of trying to get caught up is a bit overwhelming. Especially considering the fact that I now have Christmas cards to write and send out.

So how about this? If I owe you an e-mail and you happen to read this post, what say you pretend that I wrote you, and you can respond to the things that you imagined I wrote to you. Feel free to make up as much detail as you please. Then I can reply to your “reply” and we’ll be all caught up. Won’t that be nice?
