Well, these are my plans, anyway... - Teach a single class (except the student didn't show up, so I typed up the restuls of the stevia cookie attempts with a link to the original recipes)
- Shower, dress, walk/feed dogs... the usual
- Try again to take DS3 to buy some stocking stuffers.
- Meet a friend I have not seen for months for lunch. She was gracious and switched to a place that's closer to me which helps because going shopping this morning was not in my original plans for the week!)
- Come home and make more stevia cookies and one batch of sugar-centered chocolate chip cookies (I promised these to DH. )
- Think about dinner today and tomorrow. Our "sacred" Saturday night pizza dinner is being displaced by Christmas Eve (which is when we always have our big family meal and celebration). DH wanted to have pizza on Friday, which is very reasonable, except he ALSO wants to go to tkd class on Friday. The two are incompatible unless I stay home and make pizza. We will see if that premise is accepted. (A big part of pizza night is that everyone makes their own - except me - they way they want it.) I am planning a proposal that results in pizza night being shifted to Christmas Day. As far as today goes, I have no clue BUT there is no tkd class or church event, so there will be plenty of time to cook, to eat, and to clean up.
Hope you have a lovely, easy going, stress-free, and blessing filled day, ladies.

So far I'm up and ready, been to my dad's and just put the next batch of forgotten cookies in the oven. Oh and made the grocery list. Work should be quiet today, which hopefully result in my clearing my to do list for the week so that tomorrow can be a chill day of last minute things only. After dinner tonight we are going grocery shopping. I'm going in with the mindset that it is going to be insane, but a great time of people watching

I had to be early this morning as we're getting the septic tank pumped. The men arrived and set everything up, fought with the lids and finally got them off, only to realize a part has been stolen from the truck and they cannot pump my tank without it. Now they are losing time and money, having to go buy another part. They assured me they would get it done today, as we are supposed to get a winter storm later tonight. I need to go to work early as there is twice the amount to do this week due to Christmas, but now I can't go in until the men come back and pump the tank. This is so frustrating for me and for the men, all because of a stinking thief.
When I finally DO get to work, I have to bring in a portable heater. My office was so cold Tuesday my toes and fingers went numb to the point I could no longer sit and type. The church building is over 100 years old and does not heat evenly. For some reason, my office gets much warmer in summer and much colder in winter than the rest of the building. Hopefully, bringing in the electric heater will help today.
I did finish all my Christmas sewing orders. After work today I can work on our Christmas menu and such.

We’ve been invited to a friend’s house for Christmas dinner. She’s an older lady so I’m going to make an apron as a hostess/Christmas gift. I’m going to do that today and just rest otherwise. Not feeling up to par today or last night. Little cough, chest feels a little congested, and mild headache. Last night my throat hurt. Self test was negative.

Well, happily, the storm was severe enough that the board made the decision to close the store, so I didn't have to go out in the storm after all. I am greatly relieved for that answer to prayer! It is -2 degrees and 50 mph winds and blowing snow with near white out conditions here. My morning routine is done, I made a batch of pickled jalapenos and some peanut butter fudge. The chocolate fudge will be done tomorrow. I may decide to try making divinity, we will see. I am about to clean and organise my bedroom. I already put away all the laundry, then I want to spot clean the bathroom.
