All Over the Map

PMS mood is giving me a run for my money to close out 2020.  

I changed up my to-do list again yesterday.  This is a big deal for me because once I write one, it rarely changes -- certainly not total flip flopping.  I don't think I've kept one thing the same the last few days.  I can't make up my mind to save my soul.  Classic PMS.

I found another crab cake recipe that you bake instead of pan fry and I like it better.  I can make it the same day and that will be loads easier.  Switched it up and did the cleaning for the week.  It works well -- nice to have everything spit-shined for the holiday week.

I'm going to add a GF cookie BACK on my list.  The other ginger cookies aren't very good and I'm in the mood for something other than chocolate.  Also, it's not looking good for my favorite chocolate to arrive in time for Christmas.  Not sure what kind -- guess it will be a surprise for me too.  Either ginger, lime coolers or pecan Russian tea cookies.  But suddenly, I'm remembering the slush cake ... should I, shouldn't I??  My brain is a hot mess (!!)

I ordered new books (pictures once they come).  I'm going to finish the current 2 easily this week AND I opted for slow shipping for after the new year so promise intact.  It also gives me a kindle credit and why push Amazon and UPS to ship before Christmas.

I feel slight panic to get everything ready before Christmas Eve.  I know this feeling is hormones too.  I'll be fine.  (I'm sitting here talking myself out of another batch of cookies -- good lord.)  It's coming up fast and furious.  Peri-menopause brain is no joke.

The ball garland came yesterday and I LOVE it!  Vintage colors -- beautiful.  I ordered the kind with spacing between balls and it came with the balls pushed together and the extra length of string spooled at the end.  I'm sure this is for non-tangled shipping.  That said, because the spacing won't be exact AND the string is thin, I decided to keep it together and not use it on the tree.  Here's what I did instead (this year) and it looks fun.

I got the sweetest gift from my girlfriend (who sent it to my old address).  Dog themed hand towel, chocolates and coasters.  All packaged in a beautiful box.  It made me feel good.  

I'm working on the latch-hook.  Determined to finish it because I said I would -- promise thing again.  Slow and steady.

Yesterday was an arm day, but I also took Duke for an outdoor run.  We went almost 2 miles and my legs are tired today.  Rest day on the schedule, but I had contemplated a bike ride.  I'll do an outdoor walk instead.  I need something today and it's going to be nice weather for an outdoor walk.

That's all from crazy land.  I have no idea what I'll actually do today LOL.  It's crazy to feel crazy.  One thing I know for sure is I'll look for some happy -- hope you find it too.  Stay well.  Later gators.
