Baubles in a box

I'm feeling less stressed now compared with this morning when I felt in a muddle about gifts and cards and getting ready for Christmas generally.

I took the remains of last night's dinner over to a friend who is feeling low as her husband has only recently got out of hospital after a major operation and is making a slow recovery. He seemed perkier than she did. It's the stress and worry for her I think. I went to the gym though I felt I had too much to do to spare the time, and felt better.

Once I got home I made lists, wrapped presents, wrote a few cards and felt a lot more sorted. Now I'm going to look at recipes and make a food list. Then I'll relax and enjoy the preparations.
