I'm so sorry, Sheryl.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yesterday I mostly sat in my chair, watched tv, and knit. but I did a little house stuff also.
Today looks to be similar, woke up with muscles achy. I hope to get some things off deck and into the garage, the first floor roomba-ed, and the main tree up.
Today is our Gotcha Day, so if Mac wants to do anything, we may head out.

I’m making these for a potluck tomorrow. [link] It’s a fiddly recipe, but I get to eat the ones that split too extensively.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Gotcha Day to you and Mac!
Calli, I would surely enjoy disposing of the split ones for you. They look super yum.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Another crappy weekend down the drain.

Those look delicious, Calli.
Happy Gotcha Day, msbelle & Mac!
Very sorry to hear that, Sheryl.
We had a yum dinch (late lunch/early dinner) with a couple of friends, and DH is now assembling the computer parts he bought just before dinch. Should be a whole-ass computer when he's done (speaking of fiddly bits.)
I'm slowly but surely adding ornaments to the tree. If I'm done by Tuesday, I'll be happy. I get bored SUPER easily decorating the tree. It's weird, and I don't really know why. Some things I can do on repeat and be fine.
Probably has something to do with making placement decisions that don't "throw everything off" or something like that -- the interim phase is clunky, but I don't have the stamina to do the whole thing at once.
Anyway. Mellow evening.

Happy Gotcha Day! It autocorrected to Gothca Day, but that seems like more of a Jilli thing!
Sheryl, that sounds harrowing.
I have been crocheting mittens that I started last year.

The thought of crocheting things with turns and bends is too much for me. Then again, I've only ever completed one scarf, so, I guess that's not surprising.

Those look delicious Calli.
I’m making some shortbread cookies from an NYT recipe that have cocoa, ginger and sesame oil. We shall see.

That sounds like it could be really good!
Our tree is not up yet because Tim has spent the last 2 days in his workshop (adjacent to the exercise bike troll hole in the basement) (honestly, the workshop is also a troll hole) tinkering with...something to do with the new train set. But he's utterly tickled to have a workshop and have tinkering to do, so I have zero complaints. I am in no rush to decorate.
Slightly related: my shiny rock advent calendar is AWESOME.
