    Lots of traffic at the airport.  The inside of Terminal A is different
    again, with the security area where the ticket counter used to be.
  * 16 checks written
  * bed ~midnight; snuggle

A rather low-key day, but good. The really big happy thing happened 34 years ago, at about 2pm, when we got married. The man who forgets his anniversary is something of a stock character, but I really did spend most of the day not thinking about it. Of course, the party had been on Saturday.

I got in a good walk, a couple of times around the Rose Garden. I suppose that if I walked more often, it would hurt less.

I tracked down all the begging letters, and got a good start on writing the checks (a process I finished this morning). Should have been done in mid-December, of course; this year I didn't even sort them in December. I figure as long as the checks are dated 12/31 and in the mail on the first business day of the new year, ... I really need to start spreading them out, two or three per month.

Of course, that would require being organized.

While tracking down the charities I found a rebate form (that I hadn't thought I'd printed out) that had to have been mailed by December 8. Grrrr. I also now have a big pile of stuff that needs to be looked at Real Soon Now.

Colleen, Chaos and I went out to Mongolian Barbecue for dinner, after which we dropped off the Wolfling and went to Barnes & Noble. Then I dropped Colleen off and went to the airport to pick up the YD.

Then I wrote checks, until finally falling into bed around midnight. The snuggle was nice. If I'm going to take benedryl at bedtime, I need to make that no later than 11.
