Pwresents! The best ones were for…ME!

Pink Power cordless drill, Li-Ion battery. Cool-looking, and already tested it out, drilling some mounting holes outside for P’s thermometer and the IP camera.

My Jedi Master bathrobe. This thing is soooo soft, and warm, and I love that it’s got a hood, and goes all the way down to my ankles!

P, opening his IP camera.

Civil War trivia book.

Present from the Laundry Faerie. 64GB USB drive that’s dust-proof, shock-proof, and (most importantly) waterproof. His current thumb drive has been washed at least twice, and possibly three times. Once, it even went through the dryer.

Chirpy Socks (not a joke; that’s the actual brand). I got red/white, grey/white, and pink. Super-soft and snuggly for sleeping and lounging. I also got Wigwam 40 Below socks for work, and two new scrub shirts (olive green and surgical green) for pyjama tops.

P had to cut the plastic to make my new Diablo table saw blade fit into the box.

Aftermath. P got slip on shoes, an organizer for nails/screws/etc., a sea salt/peppercorn grinder, a stuffed hummingbird with a note from the MLBs in Mexico, and a colour laser printer that I haven’t got around to hooking up yet. He wasn’t feeling well enough to care much, though.

I finally got the wifi functioning properly and got the camera online, then installed it between the house and garage. It has pan/tilt, and the image is okay. While I was doing that, I set up the motion detection, and accidentally got email alerts working on the indoor camera. Anyway, this is pretty cool.

Caught this shady-looking character hanging around the garage.

This guy walked right up to our house, bold as could be! (It’s the mailman…I covered his face to protect his identity from the thousands of people who read my blog. Hi to both of you, BTW).

That was Christmas. We still haven’t cooked the turkey, but if P doesn’t feel up to it tomorrow, I’ll do it.
