Several of them without even a note saying they were closing early--including Subway!<br /><br />Coming home, I discovered that due to the heavy snow, the Christmas celebration for my family is pushed back to next Friday. :-{ Fortunately, thanks to my internet friends, I have some presents to open tomorrow anyway. Maybe I'll take in the new Sherlock Holmes movie, though the previews made it look a little too focused on sex humor for my tastes. And I'll be able to hit Target for their post Xmas candy sale on Saturday. <br /><br />Yeah, I'm a little disappointed, but not as much as one of my co-workers, who wasn't able to go home to California for the first time in twenty years due to a really bad set of circumstances.<br /><br />Speaking of co-workers, we finally got an address to send cards to Nicole; she's still too weak for visitors though, apparently.<br /><br />Oh, and one last package made it to the post office today!
