The Baron’s Sister and Brother-in-law are in town visiting. While very nice people the Brother-in-law is slightly, shall we say, eccentric? He’s a retired math teacher and keeps offering to help me brush up on my mathematical abilities! No thanks.
Today has been a very expensive day. I had the oil changed on the car and then decided that I should get some new windshield wipers too. Turns out that windshield wipers are the same price as an oil change! I couldn’t believe that and that’s even getting the super duper deal that my family gets on all vehicular maintenance and parts from our Ford dealer because Dad’s company does so much business with them.
I ordered The Baron’s Christmas present today! I’m very excited about it because he’s going to absolutely LOVE it! What I really can’t believe is how PACKED the malls are already. For the past few weekends they’ve been absolutely insane. In Calgary at Chinook it was actually difficult walking around in some of the stores because they were so busy. I’m sorry people but Christmas just isn’t that big of a deal. After last year of working for the majority of the holiday I’ve realized it’s much more important to spend time with friends and family than it is to spend a shit load of cash on people.

Ah, yes indeed, my dear uncle. Glad you had an interesting time.
Don't worry on my account, I certainly haven't spent a shit load of cash on a present for you. But I can't wait to see you around Christmas.
