Slightly ill

I've been a bit poorly this weekend. It must have been something I ate, and it wasn't very pleasant. Still, feeling much better now, and feeling that it is necessary to eat plenty of wholesome delicious food in order to get my strength up ready to go to work tomorrow.

Christmas shopping proved hellish; I think I managed to purchase two presents yesterday. I got another couple today, and I'll get the remainder online. How can it be so difficult to find a leather purse with enough room for all of my mother's credit cards and store cards in the style she likes without tasteless sequins and buckles and glitter? I've given up, and she's getting a CD or something instead.

Forgot to buy marzipan so the Christmas cake will remain nude until I've been grocery shopping tomorrow. I might give it another dose of brandy tonight as I can still sniff it without passing out from the alcohol fumes. Maybe I ought to have a dose of brandy myself to settle my stomach and warm myself up a bit.
