Cleaned up the kitchen as best I was able. Vacuumed living room, steps (dunno if this will be noticed as there wasn't much there to begin with but you never know). Folded everything in laundry room and put it away, did wash of all stuff on floor.
Went to hardware store. Got house key duplicated- made four copies. There is now a house key on all three 'extra' key rings I know of (these are key rings formerly holding only the keys to cars; Mom had one of them in her hand when she came in this morning), and one key left to go where my parents think it fit.
Also bought myself wrapping paper, bows, and tape, as well as a spare roll of tape for the house since wrapping-related issues seem to set my mom off something awful at this time of year.
