Fair progress for a day that also had the school carols service, a shop run for the foil trays, and the work Christmas quiz.

Possibly final day of baking. I don’t even know. Might end up doing more. Proper Zimtsterne done, though my star is actually a snowflake, so Zimtschneeflocken?

Pretzel bark and rocky road done. Two fingers burnt, but that’s fine. Still have to dip truffles. Oh and probably roll some more truffles. And make some more cheese things.

Delivered a bunch of cookies, etc. Door to door in 4 hours, with a bonus stop at home halfway through to restock. Two more deliveries tomorrow.

Made it through another Christmas. The kid is happy with a slight sugar buzz and I’m watching non-holiday TV with a Negroni.

So 24 years ago today, I had a call from the hospital to say that my mom had died. That was pretty shit. She was a few weeks off turning 52, and I was 21. I’ve flailed endlessly since.

How the fuck am I meant to be going back to work like normal tomorrow. Just checked and nobody is off. Just a normal fucking Thursday. Gross.

Headed to Rome tomorrow for a family weekend away. We get to go to the Colosseum and the dogs get to have the dog sitter over who takes them for longer walks. Wins all around.

Today I didn’t fall down the stairs. Rather, I fell after the stairs. I fell as my foot hit the floor, or something on the floor, and went sliding. My knee and elbow are quite painful now, 2.5 hours after the incident. And you? How have you failed at existence today?

Survived my first day in the office this year. I was there for a solid 5 hours, so that’s pretty good going. (3 of those hours were in a meeting, but still…)

Sunday. Working on thesis stuff that needs to be done, but not actually writing. Realised that I need to get all the quant research in examinable shape, too.
