An early morning ding on my phone got my attention and then directed my day. The ding was a text on my phone from Jo in Puerto Rico. Santa contacted Justin and Jo to let them know his elves needed help in finding the gift that suddenly Coco has her heart set on. Who can refuse a request from Santa’s elves? Certainly not me, so I got on my computer and on the phone and found the item. In order to help Santa, I needed to drive to Hyannis to pick up the gift and then get it to a post office. Santa pointed out that, unfortunately, the window for sending things from Amazon has closed, but the post office is still optimistic that they can get things to Rincon on time for Santa to deliver. Other than a 9:15 am Tabata class at the gym, the shopping expedition was my day. This evening I went to East Falmouth Elementary School to the 3rd and 4th grade craft fair. Jonah was selling his wares. I bought a few bars of his soap for gifts, bought some bracelets from Mollie, and a different kind of soap from Leo. Molle and Leo are neighborhood friends that are often at the Goldstones. Tomorrow is a busy one with a Newcomers holiday luncheon and a viewing of Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth Sequel. I have nothing other than a 5pm class at the gym on Friday, so I am looking forward to a day of nothingness.
