Woke up early again to take Charlie to the airport.  Dozed in bed while he packed and sent him off the the warm climes.  Went to Marshalls and did a little xmas shopping… for me!  Came home, had lunch, Charlie called to let me know he had arrived.  A thoroughly non-notable day, didn’t go out because the weather was kind of bleh, wrote and mailed xmas cards, watched some tv, read a bit, cleaned up.  Asked R. if he would take care of the cat while I was gone and he demurred because of something to do with not wanting to be responsible if it expired while under his care.  Annoying.
