Wish I had that baking angel doing Christmas baking for me!
That rain that I was hoping for (in my last post) is making a lot of noise outside, mostly because there are also high wind gusts. We should get a good soaking...something like three inches tonight and Saturday.
I wouldn't mind usually, but I have been laid up with a bad winter cold for the better part of a week and now that I'm feeling a little better I was hoping to go tomorrow to get a Christmas tree. Looks like it will be Sunday instead, when the rain should be gone. I haven't been out of the house in days...starting to get cabin fever or something.
One of the nasty things about this cold is that I had major brain fog. Not only couldn't I do simple things like write Christmas cards, I couldn't even figure out how to get started doing that...couldn't contemplate starting to figure it out. Of course there were plenty of days of constant nose blowing, more days of deep, wet coughing, lots of days with naps...and I don't usually do naps...and no appetite.
Guess you can tell that this isn't going to be a cheery post about baking Christmas cookies, right? The one piece of good news (other than getting more rain) is that they delivered our new refrigerator today. Fits perfectly, makes less noise than our old fridge, but otherwise is less than exciting because it's almost identical to our old fridge. Turns out that enclosing the fridge with cabinets overhead and a wood panel below the cabinets, with walls on two other sides and a doorway right where the fridge is makes it almost impossible to purchase another brand or size of fridge. Fortunately I liked the old one and like the new one...and it was on sale.
Hope that you, dear reader, are cracking on with Christmas baking even if mine has to wait a bit yet.
Happy Friday the 13th!
