Mocha brownies sounds great, Doggedly!
Games, cards, and puzzles sound like fun, Smile! We make our sweet potatoes half and half - half the pan with just butter and salt, half with brown sugar and marshmallows. Different people in our family prefer different types.
I like them either way but not too too sweet.
Thanks for the covid info, L Ann. Glad your crew arrived safely.
Enjoy church and coffee with your friend, Kitty.
This is the first time I've ever tested positive for covid, so it's kinda momentous.
I may have had it while in Israel -- without a cough? -- but we didn't test as we didn't think that was possible there at that time. I think I already feel better than I did yesterday.
Our plans are up in the air as it's not clear if the Cs are coming or not. I've offered to sequester myself in the bedroom. If they're not coming, we'll eat at a normal dinner time. If the Cs decide to eat with us, they need to leave by 4:30 pm to go to their next event, which means we'd need to eat at 3, which is an awkward time.
Today: It's a holiday so I'll be doing some cooking! I'll mask myself while cooking and wash my hands a lot. (Dh will do a lot - probably more than me.) I'd also like to work on the memorial thank yous and washing and bagging Mom's last load of clothes, maybe making the final decision on a few items - keep or give away. I may indulge myself and get out one of our magic puzzles to work on.
I'd like to start a new knitting project; I might order a pattern online. And a walk would be good.
Looking ahead, next week is a bit busier than usual with some extras - bday lunch with my friend B, an extra payroll meeting for which I need to prep to talk for a short time, a Christmas gala Th night in the big city, and my payroll's holiday party Saturday night - which is always a lot of fun!
Next:
- finish reclaiming the kitchen
- make the bed
- s2s and self care
TaDas!
- up; weighed self - down
