I had a slow start to my day. I would wake up and decide I was still tired and rest some more. Had some weird dreams during my short rest periods.
Today was chocolate Christmas treat day. I made peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate, pretzels dipped in chocolate and with the extra chocolate I put some pecans in it and made pecan clusters.
I went to a Christmas happy hour at a friend’s house. There were eight of us enjoying special Christmas treats and the beverage of our choice. It was a fun gathering and I always enjoy visiting with dear friends.
I came home and put all the chocolate goodies away. When I get done blogging I need to clean up the kitchen. I make a big mess when I cook. I had to get creative when I was dipping chocolate today. I put a cutting board over the silverware drawer and then set the pan of chocolate on the cutting board. It helped create a bit more space and made it easier.
Tomorrow I am going to a breakfast around 10:00 and I have a haircut in Emporia at 4:00. I have some last minute stuff I need to pick up while I am in town tomorrow. I still haven’t decided on the games we are going to do and need to make a decision soon so I can get what I need tomorrow so I don’t have to go back to town before Saturday.
Thursday is going to be my only stay at home day this week. I have lots of cleaning I need to do. Hoping I will find some time between events tomorrow to get the sugar cookies made. I also need to make the peanut butter bars. I will make the fudge on Friday and then I think I will be done making Christmas treats. I may need to make second batches of some of the things as I have several people I want to take a plate of goodies to.
Looking forward to having the family all here on Saturday. Those are my favorite days whenever I get to spend time with my family.
After Saturday things slow back down for me. I am looking forward to that too. December has flown by and I feel like I haven’t had much down time lately.
I was talking about the retreat today and realized that the vortex peeled away a layer from me. Somehow it is easier for me to know truth now. Not sure how that happened but am grateful for it. That is something I have been working on and speaking and living my truth is one of my goals for 2025.
Grateful the chocolate goodies are made, grateful for friends to gather with, and grateful slowly but surely I am getting ready for Saturday and Christmas with the kids.
