According to my email, the yarn I ordered to knit a hat for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
donia back on the 7th has been shipped out.
This morning.
While I am willing to cut the company a little slack considering that their wool supplier in Paraguay ships via Florida, and hence there may well be some hurricane-related kinks in the order pipeline to take into consideration, I do note that it's getting colder up here by the day, and I can only knit so fast, after all...
Holiday shopping largely done, mostly by virtue of not really having much of anyone to shop for. Got Mum a copy of Bad Kitty and customized the cover with a whitepen to better resemble our own resident terrorist. (The thing to remember when shopping for Mum is that, basically, artists are five.) Also managed, while we were out, to find everything non-holiday-related that we'd gone out after without even having to kill anyone in the process -- in fact, shopping on Saturday wasn't really any much worse than any other Saturday out in that neck of the woods, which naturally has me worrying about how badly the economy must actually be doing. When I can get all the way through Container Store without being tempted to bloodshed, there's something seriously wrong...
(It did help that I had inoculated myself against picking up any holiday-related earworms by pre-loading the earworm channel with disco all week. Carols turn out to be no competition at all for 'YMCA'.)
