God bless grandmothers

This afternoon, my mother bundled up my child, and took him off to the nature sanctuary for a quick visit. On the way she went to the drug store for more cold drugs for me and to another store to buy the last item on my list of things to buy. It's been almost three hours she's been gone, three hours in which I finished wrapping things (all for The Boy), played a few games with my significant other without a single interruption (except for my coughing) and sat down and read a few things on the computer. I think I have just enough time to have some tea and cookies before they are due to return. 

Merry Christmas indeed. :)
