Deck the Halls with Ten Billion Presents for Billy
A Dom Entry
I've actually been shopping for Christmas! It's amazing, really, considering how little time I have and how I've already managed to find a couple of things for Billy. I hope he likes what I've gotten so far. It's...interesting to say the least.
MS's gifts are even more interesting, actually. I wonder if I'll be able to pull them off. Well, of course, if Billy will accept me as MS, I should be able to pull them all off. But if he doesn't...well, let's just pretend MS didn't go shopping this year and has converted to Judaism. Mazel Tov!
I've been working on MS's GRAND present for Christmas Eve as well. But it's very cold out! Especially since most of the present is in the cold, and especially since I have to touch it up after work...when it's quite dark...and frigid. But it's coming along nicely. I've even tested it and ... tada!... it works! I just hope it works in two days.
Two days!!! Where has all my time run off to?
I don't even have time to worry about MS anymore. I'm still rushing to put together Billy's "Dom" presents, while Billy's "MS" presents are set aside for a bit. But I think the "Dom" presents will be pretty simple. The "MS" presents, one in particular, was driving me crazy. Mainly because it requires a Christmas tree, and we didn't seem to have one.
So, while I was out on break, I cut us down a tree. It was from the woods, which I'm hoping is open terrain. I think the location I found it in was remote enough. Not a bad tree, either. In fact, it looks really nice in the living room. I got a couple lights on it, (some left-overs from my light shopping spree), and bought some coloured ribbon to tie on the branches...(which may come in handy later). Billy, I think, was satisfied with it. He didn't say much about it. He was a little down again today. I think it might be due to the nearness of the holiday.
I couldn't work on presents or trees much more after I saw Billy today. Wasn't really up for it. I was a little happier, though, when he ate some dinner with me. It wasn't much; I had gotten absolutely no time to buy something to eat on the way home and all I could find in the cupboard was soup. Chicken and stars.
I wrote another letter today. I don't really expect a reply, but I know Billy still looks forward to getting them. He always piles the mail on the counter when he comes home. They're the only things missing from pile when I get in. That, in itself, seems to reply somewhat to MS's words. I wonder if it gives me too much hope. Maybe Billy will come around. Because he still cares about MS.
I don't know.
All I'm really sure of right now is that I've got about fifty ribbons yet to tie to my tree and about five hundred hours needed to finish all of Billy's presents. In two days.
Ah, the season of giving...
