Daily Notes- December 24


Christmas Eve.  I am behind again.  Nothing wrapped.  But this year I at least have a few gifts ready to be wrapped.  G was sent out to get something for Riley.  Last year we had no gift for him--thinking he wouldn't care--the poor, sad dog did care.  I want him to have something to unwrap.

I have been cooking since I got out of bed.  Not in my pajamas like last year.

We may eat at midnight.  I did get our daughter's pierogi filled and cooked and G has gone to her house to put the food in her fridge so she'll have it there for Christmas Breakfast.

I am trying new things suggested by our son when he visited. Carmelized onions in the potato filling.  (it looks too loose now)  And carmelized mushroom in the sauerkraut filling.   My editing software says I am spelling things incorrectly.   We may wish I hadn't left the traditional path.

I am really, really tired.  I think the only part of Christmas I enjoy is--when it is over.  But it could be worse--last Christmas I had that terrible nerve pain and, well, it was hard to do everything I am doing this year.  I should remind myself of the waves of pain as I struggled to bake, cook and be a part of the family chatter.

Well, I have things to do.  Merry Christmas Dear Friends.
