I Give Myself a 'B'

Cookie day done and dusted.  

Cookies this year are ...

(1)  7 day chocolate chip 

(2)  Coconut oatmeal with pecans

(3)  Sour cream softies

(4)  Biscotti with cranberry and pecans

(5)  Sour cream pound cake (honorary cookie since I sliced it)

Everything but the 7 day chocolate chip are GF.  I made a plate for my son's girlfriend that I'll give her today.

How did I do?  B, maybe a B+.  Ate ZERO cookie dough.  BUT, ate some pound cake (to test because it seemed a little underdone -- it is).  Then I tested the oatmeal cookies for the same reason.  A tiny bit more testing than I needed, but I stopped.  Left the rest alone.  

After I made all the cookie dough, Duke and I headed to the park to run.  Turns out yesterday was a nice day and we took advantage.  I baked all afternoon.  Watched Sister Wives and the finale of White Lotus.  Went to bed and finished Layla (Coleen Hoover) -- not the story I expected AT ALL, but it was fun.

New book pick today.

Meeting my son for an early lunch to catch up and give him the cookies.  Then an appointment to knock out the 11s again.  

I'm trying to rally and feel better.  Oura ring says I'll get my period in 5 days (just in time for massage in Asheville).  This is a long cycle again.  My recovery stats are TANKED and I feel it.  I'm annoyed that woman need to go through this -- why, universe?!?!  Maybe it'll be smoothed over for Christmas.  I need to be super careful with how I'm eating -- it's the biggest help (or hinderance).  

Hope you are having a good week.  Stay well out there.  Later gators.
