Moin. Good evening.
It has been a WEEK! I had 5 Unterrichtsbesuche (which means I read 5 Entwurfe and wrote 5 Protokolle), drove over 350 Kilometers, wrote and turned in 2 Hausarbeit Gutachten, turned in semester grades and baked over 100 cupcakes for an 18th birthday. I'm tired...

I've been up since 7:00. We had to take down the computers to set up brunch with Oma and Opa. The boys just got up after 4 hours of sleep. It's going to be a long day!

Here's a friendly reminder that tomorrow is Nikolaus in Germany. In the past, I went to the grocery store at 7 pm because I had forgotten. This year I am already prepared! 💪

As I try and get into the holiday spirit, inflation is popping up everywhere. One of my favorite things is the Christmas almonds from Lindt. I found a bag from last year. A 1.20€ difference, 28%. That's crazy!

All right, everyone. Gird your loins because #Whamageddon starts today. If you heard it last week, it doesn't count. But do be more careful! May the odds always be in your favor.

Also, I spent almost all of yesterday in bed with a migraine. My felt like it exploded Friday night. It was a real doozy, vomiting, and seeing spots. Haven't had a migraine that bad in a while. I was finally feeling better this morning and went for a walk on Erste Advent. The sun warmed my face.

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful first Advent. Even the desk calendar is in the mood.
I don't like basteln and I buy our wreath every year. Inflation definitely hit as this one cost 35€!

We had a really great Friendsgiving on Saturday, and I have been eating leftovers ever since. I also have a Fortbildung all day today, and it is Elternsprechtag at our school, which means no special plans. But I did make a pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting last night. Will enjoy a slice later!

It was a very good Friendsgiving. 10 adults, 9 kids. We ate, drank, and laughed until midnight. The kids went outside to play Nerf guns, and the adults played cards against humanity. The food? Chef's kiss. Except for the pumpkin pie. It was underbaked.

This is Eloise. Believe it our not, she is only 8.7 kilos, about 19 pounds. Technically smaller than last year, but still pretty big!

Having a house full of people tomorrow for Friendsgiving. My pie crust went wonky, and the pecans are dark. But nothing a little whipped cream can't solve, I suppose!
