Advent, Day 4

Today was sacrificed to housework. Mum decided that it was time to change the beds, therefore we also laundried the armchair and rug covers (don't laugh, it's not my idea to have those) and do half the weekly laundry anyway. Plus, I made curiouswombat's amazing ginger-carrot soup and Mum made chicken paprikas. We were duly drained afterwards.

But I talked to Heidi (Little Emma's grandmother), who then sent us totally sweet videos about Emma and her big brother Theo, and later with my friend Alex, so I had my bright spots, too. I even managed to shoehorn in a few paragraphs of writing in-between.

Tomorrow industrial amounts of baking are on the programme. I'm trying to conserve what strength I still happen to have. *g*

My Good Thing of the day:

I've just learned that one of my hand-made Christmas cards safely arrived in the UK. Thank you, elwenlj, to let me know!
Has anyone else already get theirs? Please alert me if you do, I just want to know that they didn't get lost. :)
