Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching Olive Kitteridge, and it's a little close to home. Yikes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Everything takes longer than you think it will.

Right? I got some shopping done (groceries and gifts) but I don't feel much more accomplished than days when I have sat on the couch all afternoon. Tomorrow morning I am getting my free stuff at Starbuck's and buying one more pressure cooker that I have decided I need for gifts, maybe that will feel more satisfying.

And I just realized I bought mulling spices but not cider. That's not gonna work.

Ah, my Box o' Meat has been delivered, all's right with the world. Good thing I came across that Anderson Valley Solstice Beer at the grocery store or I would be at a loss right now.

Also, dang that is some delicious beer.

Just have to sprinkle salt on them before the cookie swap.

Contrary to usual recommendations, I am getting rid of spoons. IE, I don't need 30+ teaspoons for a household of two people. I'm not sure how I even ended up with this many. I've also got far more forks and knives, bowls of various sizes, and plates. Anything chipped or cracked is getting tossed, anything in decent shape will get donated. I wonder if the homeless shelter can use them. I don't think they actually serve food there, but we'll see.

I need to buy beer and work on a beer reduction tomorrow for some gifts.

Cookie exchange was extremely fun. Good to see lots of people I was missing. I like feeling connected.

Despite not really having the time this week, seeing the peoples via wine night and next door tonight so totally worth it. Even if tonight was new peoples from the hood, good exercise.
