Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think tomorrow is my onerous task day. It's the only day "off" I have before I leave town for Christmas.

I'm all sorts of out of sorts. Elbow hurts from the stupid fall (bruise is more noticeable now,) my thigh from...I don't know. The bruise is where I nailed the corner of the bedframe, but that shouldn't make the whole thigh this angry (pushing off hurts) and now the general acheyness from shoveling action. For the record, there is 5.5" of snow on the deck, after some pellets and rainy mist. So probably closer to 6" initially. Wild for a first snowfall of the season.
And I still have that stupid maybe-sick patch in my nose/throat making me nuts. Am I sick or aren't I?
But I did make another batch of cookies and may have hit upon exactly the right proportions. I have to basically double the flour to account for the booze, even once I've reduced it in the pan with the melting butter (that's a good nasal-passages clear-er: fireball whiskey and fumes!) but they turned out quite acceptably. Have to let them chill before I sample to make sure the bourbon cinnamon taste is acceptably strong.

Sigh. My brother is pretty much having a shittiest birthday ever. And understandably, he just wants to cocoon, so that's what we're letting him do. Wish I could make it better.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Having been in malls and Hobby Lobbys during the Christmas season, I'd say the feeling is mutual. I'm sufficiently tinseled out that I'm not even turning on the light garland around my big central window that stays up year-round.
Is it awful that I've skipped showering today so I could continue wearing my comfiest pullover shirt and warmest wool socks from yesterday?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The bruise is where I nailed the corner of the bedframe, but that shouldn't make the whole thigh this angry (pushing off hurts)
When I nail the bedframe corners, they can be really deep bruises. Those hurt.
I feel like we're poster children for needing bubblewrap. Always.

So I have fireball whiskey that I'm using in the cookies. I never really considered drinking it (why adulterate whiskey/bourbon like that?) But damn, if it isn't just right to deal with my pseudo cold when added to lemon zinger tea and honey!
