This is a plug for a great local small business: https://www.getyourpickson66.com.  Having some time off, I was able to browse the many booths of vintage antiques and find almost all the wishlist gifts I was looking for, with pleasant help from the employees and Putter the Dog.  There were quite a few customers doing same, in a much more relaxed atmosphere than a frenzied big box store, and for much less cost.  I recommend it for therapy and sanity.

I’m doing staycationy things: sleeping and dreaming a ton, cooking my own food, spending money I don’t technically have on gifts but enjoying it, reading, watching new series and movies, doing propagatrix things, making granola, drinking, oh the decadence.  I’m soaking it up while I can, because the next four years will be no picnic for anyone.
