Hugs to all who require them.

Dear sock--
Yes, thanks for hiding in the laundry room. Much appreciated.

Dear self
Okay, we have two, possibly 3 more purchases to make until we have gifts covered. One of these is a cyber Monday sale. I realize that some of that purchase is for me, but there's no point paying $5 in shipping for $7 of yarn...plus you have ideas for some of the stuff that they're discontinuing in the sale. I realize your "good side" says to stash dive, but the reality is there aren't appropriate colors in there for your dad's socks, and the thicker sock yarn will knit up fast.
Just stay away from the coffee (you've got tea, parking will be easier and no one cares when you come in now) until DBF gets here.
