A bit of good, a bit of bad - that's life

[wiseheart]

Starting with the good part: I've baked another 4 batches of biscuits; now I'm up to 11 sorts. Two of them are decorated already, the third one doesn't need any decoration (it has mini-marshmallows that look very funny when molten inside the cookies) and the fourth one will be easy to decorate, so I can do it in the morning and box them by the evening.

Speaking of the morning: I woke up to the unpleasant surprise of the dratted balcony leaking again. By everything that's holy, we've spent a fortune on the stupid thing, and it's still not fixed! *insert swear words of your choice* So, Mum's calling the janitor tomorrow again. *sigh*

By all that baking I really didn't have much time for anything else. I've been inspired by this YouTube video:

and started making something similar, only not from a plastic bottle but from a thick and wide cardboard roll. We'll see if I come anywhere with it.

For writing there was no time (and energy) left, either. I wrote one single sentence, just to prove that I have written something, which was my picowrimo goal (as usual).

And now I'm very, very tired - small wonder, considering that I was chopping dates and various nuts for today's baking session from 11.30pm to 2.10am. I really, really need a new chopper.

Oh damn yeah you need a chopper, that's horrific. Your poor arms and hands

But you did get so much done!

Actually, it's rather my feet and my back that suffered greatly. But yeah, I'll have to invest into a chopper... a good one.
