Last batch of cookies in the oven. 68. Will have to be filled tomorrow night or Sunday morning. I've been at it since 8.
Had my hair appt time wrong; so glad they called! Actually makes scheduling better.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Oops, 77. Forgot to count the tray in the oven.

Is it weird that I am surprised you can make cookies in numbers that are not divisible by 12?
Not really surprised, my dozens don't exactly come out even, but somehow taken aback.
Maybe it's just that the extra-dozen remainders are fair game for eating before they cool off and therefore do not really count as finished product.

I just figured she ate one off the last tray.

I never manage the same number advertised. Usually more for drop cookies (I make them smaller) but for this recipe, I had to triple it to get 5doz. And from the initial batches, I was only getting 20 each, so I have no idea how 77 happened. Same special cookie scoop (must thank SIL.)

But that clearly means five more should be eaten.

It's the only way to be sure.

My dad joined the Navy very near the end of WWII, signed up for flight school, and then the war ended. So they kicked him out of the training program he was in and put him on a troop ship to Japan to bring soldiers back.
He got the GI bill out of it, and never had to fight, which I'm fine with.

I should probably warn you all - I am switching from wine to hot chocolate laced with Bailey's. Whatever sense-making I have managed thus far may well be at an end. But the fire is, as the song says, so delightful.

hot chocolate laced with Bailey's.
Oooh, I specifically impulse-bought gingerbread-man Peeps last week to put in hot chocolate. AND Peeps that are allegedly hot chocolate-flavored and dipped in white fudge. They are still hanging out on top of the fridge. Maybe I should make some hot chocolate...
My tailbone has been hurting all day (it didn't hurt when I went to bed last night, but it hurt when I woke up -- HOW did I hurt my tailbone while I slept), but maybe a shot of Bailey's in some hot chocolate will help. Can't hurt, right?
