jennlkDinner went reasonably well. The cornbread was a fail, but due to cook's error, not old baking powder - I looked at the recipe, put everything in the bowl, mixed it up, plopped it in the pan and then said "wait, that's awfully dough-ish for cornbread". Double checked the recipe, and yep, I'd put in too much flour. sigh. So the crescent rolls were deployed. The roasted apples were pretty good, but next time I'll drizzle a bit of oil over them as well as dusting them with nutmeg and cinnamon. Did glazed carrots rather than roasted as there wasn't enough space in the oven for another roasting pan - glazed can be done in the microwave. :)
I estimated how much food we'd eat pretty well - less than a serving left of each of the sides, a day's worth (probably) of the pork.
SR got her (e)birthday card. My mother also sent her one, from the same company. Not the same card, fortunately, although it's quite likely that we could have. (From SR's description of the card she got from Nana, it's one that I sent to Nana a couple of years ago. :) )
J has brought in the Christmas tree. Now we need to figure out where to put it in the re-arranged living room. It'll probably wind up in the corner next to the computer desk, unless we put it in front of the window. I have no idea what I'll be getting people for Christmas.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a new iPad with my election pay, partly for the larger screen and partly because the old one's battery is getting cranky. So far, I've spent six hours in support chat and two hours on the phone with support engineers trying to get epub files onto the new iPad. I'd set a couple of permissions incorrectly to start, but those weren't really the problem. iDrive wasn't working, so that was one call (wound up having to log in to iCloud on the desktop and turning it on there, which was not as straightforward as it could have been). That got some files moved, but not most of them. Scheduled for a return call from the second engineer today with further help - she couldn't figure out why the procedures that are supposed to work aren't, and wanted some time to dig in to the problem. It shouldn't be this hard, honestly.
