Reindeer of Ember

Busy day. I had to get up and rolling earlier than usual so I could drop the Sparrowhawk off at his money-counting job at nine, and then have the car so I could drive over to Dragonfly's at 10. The Sparrowhawk got a ride home with one of his older lady friends, but the poor man didn't get home until 11:30 because of the complexities of the counting today. Not only have they started keeping track of the change by each denomination of change--pennies, nickels, etc.--but there were five separate collections to be accounted for, in 12 different categories. Meanwhile I was having a good talk with Dragonfly, followed by a nice lunch. I've de-spotted a bunch of shirts and have almost finished my Christmas cards, and thanks to the good efforts of the Sparrowhawk, we have gifts for everyone in the family.
