Another long day - but for better reasons

[wiseheart]

We had laundry day; that isn't the actual better part, of course, but at least it's done.

I've baked another batch of Christmas cookies: cashew-coconut balls. They are very yummy, and not too complicated to make, once everything is prepared. I'd done the preparation between midnight and 1am, which sounds insane, but it was a blessing when I simply had to kip everything into a bowl and put the dough together. I also decorated the chocolate-peanut cookies and boxed everything as soon as they were cooled.

Then I find half an hour when I did some actual writing. The muse was a tad reluctant to cooperate, but I've shown her who's boss. Now the first part of the next scene (about half a page) is written, and I even know how it will continue. That's a real blessing.

We had green peas and meatballs for lunch. So now I have another tin can I can transfer. I think I'll make a Santa-shaped pencil holder. The design will be a tad tricky on an item like that, but I think it's doable.

I played a bit solitary on Methuselah the geriatric laptop (that particular page only loads on that single device, even though it runs on Windows XP - the older among us might remember it), and then my friend Evie called and we chatted on the phone for nearly an hour.

Starting at 21.15 there will be a TV marathon: The Great Celebrity Bake-Off (2 episodes), Crack Addicts and Dr. Pimple Popper. This won't be an early night, either, but again, we have the time.

Good for you, for some writing in the midst of many activities.
Enjoy the tv shows!

Those are all shows (and episodes) I've already seen multiple times, so it's no problem when I fall asleep in the middle of them. *g*

LOL I do that too! It's like comfort food with no calories!
