So, I got my chocolate Santa today

[wiseheart]

It was heavy-duty shopping day: we've run out of cleaning products and cosmetics... well, almost... and I had to make two different runs to lug everything home. Most of it on foot. My lower back was telling me really nasty things all the time, and so were my arm. *sigh*

In any case, since Mum has already got her chocolate Santa last time she actually dared to get out to the shops with me, she insisted that I choose one for myself. And I did. Behold the Figaro brand:



Some know-it-alls on a food website say that the chocolate isn't really good quality. I dunno, I had this Santa before and found it yummy enough. Besides, it is cute. I can always use the chocolate for cookie icing or whatnot if it doesn't taste good enough.

I didn't do much else today because I was dead on my feet. Fortunately, we had leftovers, so no cooking was needed. I did some crossword puzzles, talked to Erica on the phone and played computer games.

Oh, and I finished typing up Chapter 10 of SD5 and uploaded it to otherworlds_lib! Bold fonts, italics and other bells and whistles will be added tomorrow, before it goes up to AO3.


Those eleven of you who've asked for a hand-crafted Christmas card or offered an exchange can start watching their post boxes. The cards have been mailed today.

Ladies, I hope you'll like your cards and please drop me a line when they've arrived. I'd like to know that they didn't get eaten by a giant space jellyfish on their way to your house. ;)

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here, where most people celebrate with a turkey dinner similar to that at Christmas. We are not so crazy about turkey, so will have seafood. It's hard to realize Christmas is just around the corner, but your cute Santa gave me a reminder. I will be on the lookout for the card - thank you! I plan to mail yours on Friday. Hope it arrives on time.
