Dragon Age: The Loadening

So we just finished our second playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition. We haven't done the DLC yet, but Toby has Fallout 4 calling his name, so he's going on to that right now, and we plan to work on the DLC over the holidays. :)

Any suggestions for presents we can get my brother-in-law's girlfriend as an apology for giving my b-i-l some annoying, noisy items? Something in the pampering line, I'd think.

Oh, also...

There is a tree in our backyard that is most likely dead and looks like it's starting to lean a little bit. We've got an arborist coming out tomorrow to look at it, give us his opinion, and give us an estimate for removing it and planting a new one in its place.

We also had lots of wind and a bit of storming over the weekend, which tore a small strip of shingles off the roof and deposited them on the bushes in our front yard, which we discovered yesterday when hanging Christmas lights outside (more on that later). So a call to the roofer that fixed the leak near the chimney earlier this year is in order.

Home ownership. Bah. (Okay so if we didn't own it, we'd have to call the landlord/management company and then they'd send someone out when they got good and ready to, and that someone would be the lowest bidder or someone who did them a favor or something and the problem wouldn't actually be fixed, but papered over and due to reoccur not very much later. At least, that's my experience.)
