Gifts

... but I think I will take along only the magnets on the right.  Maybe not even as I bought them with someone specific in mind, and I didn't know I was going to go on this upcoming business trip.  That said, how could I not see this coming?  Never mind, loads of stuff at Schiphol Airport to choose from, but I must take care not to buy too much.  I think I'll buy the waffles already next week so I can pack them in.  Two small handcarries but one will be checked in.  Might as well take advantage of what I paid for, cheap as it was.

Housekeeping, kitchen duties, supermarket errands, plus MOOCking.  The courses have been helpful as patience exercises as they have taken my mind off countless worries and alleviated some anxieties, and now they are helping me stay focused in the midst of mounting excitement.  Thankful for things to look forward to.
