A Temporary Cookie Festivus Hiatus

On Sunday we were supposed to have our big cookie decorating party, this the Year 3 of our new tradition together. You know cut out cookies is something I love doing every year, if you read this blog. But, Sara and her family have to make an emergency trip to Ohio for a family member, so we are going to reschedule.

Entry from 2021 (before Sara and Fam came onto the scene, and my write up of Dave F. Yonkman and how I didn't get him cookies in time)

I feel like this is good, it is a relief. For a number of reasons. One is my level of energy and motivation are in the crapper.  I don't feel like doing the baking just yet. I know I could kick it into high gear on Saturday if I had to. Jess is coming this weekend and maybe we'll do a mini-decorate before they have to go house sit on Saturday. Or maybe they'll come back here on Sunday. I need to find out if they're coming over here from Virginia for Christmas dinner. I hope they do.

It's also kind of good too because I need eyeballs, you know, for reindeer and gingerbread men, and if the grocery store doesn't have them when I send Geoff there tomorrow, I can order them online to arrive .... after Sunday. 

Sara came by for a quick visit tonight to give me some of her cat shaped cookie cutters and chat about her trip. I'll need to go feed the cats and collect any boxes delivered to the porch so porch pirates don't steal Christmas while they are away. 

She lives next to the gym so. hmmm. Maybe I'll stop saying I will go and actually go. 

Today I did a client call for the project by myself and I'm thrilled that it went perfectly and wonderfully. What a relief. Even though he was off today I slack messaged my sysadmin to squeeeeeeee that I did it.

I woke up at 3am and didn't fall back asleep until 6, but I messaged my team that I was going to be late, and I really was only a half hour late.

Tomorrow will be similar to today. I have no client project calls, I have emails to send, I do have a call with a client that isn't related to the big project so that will be a refreshing break. Talk about something different. 

And that's about it for today. digits below. Hopefully a more energetic tomorrow. Yay.
