Good morning! I have to brave the stores today. I need last minute gift cards. Wish me luck. I may need a Starbucks after it.

I had to order a ton of stuff from Amazon this year for presents. I really hope they all get here by Christmas Eve. I don’t drive so it was easier for me to do it this way.

I am so behind on Christmas shopping. I placed a few big orders on Amazon since I was sick last week and still a little sick (finally getting better) this week. Thankfully other things from other places will arrive this weekend.

Yesterday our oven decided to go kaput again. Our second and only spare. Ugh. At least the stove works.

It’s raining off and on today. It’s a good day for crockpot chili! I used an online recipe and my normal recipe for chili today so we will see how it tastes. It’ll be ready in 6-8 hours.

This year I unexpectedly took a year off of writing. Every time I sat down to write this year I couldn’t focus. It felt forced. Between so much stress and life I just couldn’t do it. I am determined to get back to writing in the next year. Impostor syndrome has been crazy.

I’m finally trying this recipe tonight. I have never cooked with orzo before. I’m still sick with a double ear infection and wanted comforting soup. I’ve made a chicken and rice soup from her before and loved it.

The power outage was caused by a vehicle hitting the equipment. I hope they’re ok.
