On a much happier note, I receive a package yesterday, from a mysterious Sock Lady! I thought I knew who sent it and sent a thank-you note, only to find out I'd guessed the wrong person!
Anyway, some wonderful, caring person sent me 5 pairs of Christmas socks! Three have reindeer on them, one has Christmas trees, and the other has peppermint striped HOs all over them.
I had a hard time getting back to my work because I couldn't bear to stop petting the fuzzy little reindeer. As crazy as it seems, these are my First actual Christmas socks (other than just the appropriate colors)!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
