Is there such a creature as exhaustionitis / the sleepflu / insert cute name here? Then again, it is after 11 adslfknsal midnight! I don't know when that happened!, which means it's one of the first nights that I didn't immediately faceplant into my bed the minute the clock changed to 9 pm. I just feel like I could sleep for a million years and still need a nap afterward. Oh jetlag, at least you're good for my insomnia?

This morning, I ran out to pick up gifts for Lauren and Erin, as I already had Hilly's; I also needed to get lights and decorations for the tree. I wound up getting a mix of reds and silvers for the tree with some nonblinking white lights, with an extra strand so I could wrap it around the balcony. (I was getting cheers for putting up lights from folks on a few balconies away. They were rather ... toasted.)

(Next year ... a party, I think, to help me decorate the tree. It was fun doing it myself but a bit depressing.)

I had a lovely time with Erin, Lauren and Hilly (as I always do) and I was glad we were able to go up and see Hilly at her place. We did what we do best - sat around and talked for several hours as the cats distracted us through antics. I love giving gifts and seeing everyone's reactions, so there was much glee tonight (Watching Lauren open up her gift just made. My. Night.). (From Hilly, I got a really awesome looking book and some really neat liquor; Erin gave me a bottle of wine with a monkey blown into the glass; Lauren got me these AWESOME eye makeup cards with the makeup on there and instructions, plus some much needed lip balm.)

Tomorrow, I need to catch up on my emails, clean, do a huge mailing for work, do up Christmas cards and plot the rest of the presents for folks.
