Happy Friday!
I have declared that I am taking today off. After the productiveness of the past four days, I need it.
Monday: Finished Christmas shopping and errand running (or so I thought).
Tuesday: Went to the post office, cleaned part of the house and went grocery shopping.
Wednesday: Cleaned more of the house, went grocery shopping, and began to rearrange Joseph’s room in anticipation of what he’s getting on Sunday.
Thursday: Went grocery shopping YET AGAIN, finished the rearranging of Joseph’s room (SO MUCH MORE SPACE!!!!), and baked over 400 cookies. Yes, that number is correct. There were 17 different varieties of cookie dough purchased (the break-apart kind, so the prep was next to nothing, but I still had to put them in the oven). Most of those varieties made two dozen, a few made just a dozen, and one, bizarrely, made 40. So, 400 is pretty close to right.
Today, I’ve gone to the post office TWICE. I refuse to go anywhere else. It’s chilly outside and damp and I’m inside a comfy house in clean, comfy clothes (yet, still cold), and I have nothing else to bake until tomorrow. So, I’m off today.
I’ve actually really enjoyed this week. I’ve gotten a lot of stuff done, errands run, housework completed, and I haven’t let myself just sit and veg. I know that probably sounds like a horrible vacation, but I think back to previous vacations when all I really did was sit around watching TV, reading, doing cross stitch, and my body would suffer. My MOOD would suffer. I’m a lot happier this way, and I’m still sleeping fantastically every night.
I guess it helps that I’m 80 pounds lighter than I was a year ago, and I have a LOT more energy and can move around so much better! God is AWESOME!
