I’m having a good time with the Christmas Plot. I have Maria’s gift hidden. She is blogging and then taking a few days off. She is very disciplined about technology, and she has no trouble staying off machines.She will be taking a walk with me and reading in short order. We are going into Glens Falls today to get some Xmas gifts and some gifts for the dogs. I hadn’t thought of it but she did. She doesn’t go on Facebook to chat much, so although she is aware I have some discussions going there, she doesn’t really want to know what the present is until Christmas. It’s called maturity. I don’t have too much of it.

Also she wondered if I wasn’t trying to steer her in the wrong direction by suggesting it had something to with her computer. “You could  just be trying to trick me,” she said. Maria is not like me in the sense that she is happy to get the present on Christmas, and won’t spent much time wondering what it is. She will yell at me when she gets it, as she always yells at me when I get her something. You don’t need to get me anything, she says, but this is not so. I do.

Once she’s unplugged, I’ll write about it because the choice of gift was interesting to me.
