Holy crappamoly!  It’s amazing what you can do when you’re not turning your apartment into a haunted house or feeding an apartment complex three times a month.  As much as I’ve missed being a CaresTeam, there are a few benefits. My house is cleaner. I don’t stress out about getting home from work at 8pm or going in on a weekend.  I get to enjoy baking and cooking again, and as of 9pm today, I have ALL of my Christmas shopping done except for two (hard-to-shop-for) people.  Now I just have to wrap, pack and ship (the easy stuff) and refrain from giving people their gifts early or letting Zac convince me to tell him what he’s getting. That kid is way too smart for his own good.
