My 🧡 is about halfway back to OK and I already miss him so much. I loaded him down with homemade cookies, barks, and hot cocoa spoons, though, so hopefully it makes his second set of holidays a little bit brighter.

I swear, I hurt myself in the MOST ridiculous ways when my 🧡 is here. Yesterday I was hopping out of the shower (because he prefers to be straight up boiled and I tapped out to let him crank the temp) and took a literal chunk out of the back of my foot with the faucet. 😖

Our early Christmas dinner: honey-butter glazed ham, white macaroni and cheese made with 5 cheeses and snowflake noodles, garlic Parmesan roasted potatoes, salad with homemade dressing, and peppermint cream pie with shaved white chocolate.

I missed our mountains.
One more hour and then I get to hug my kid, cuddle my dogs, and crash.

Tired eyes at the airport today. About six more hours until I can crash.

Work holiday lunch. Two and a half more days of work next week, and then I'm off until January. But first, I have a flight to catch.

I'm so lucky to have my awesome kid and my amazing 🧡 both supporting me in the lead-up to this funeral. I don't know how I would get through everything without them and I'm just so, so thankful for them both.

115 miles left; just a few more hours until my 🧡 is home again. I'm in the tub, trying to release the enormous knot that has taken up residence in my lower back.

I only got three hours of sleep last night so I dozed for a bit while my 🧡 is on the road. 225 more miles.
The shelf-stable half of my trip snacks are packed in the clear-top divided containers I got. The perishables are in the freezer, except the fruit I'll cut up on Thursday.

Another snow day today. I wrote a letter, puttered around in the kitchen, ordered groceries, planned meals to make so Si won't need to cook while I'm gone, sorted the Xmas collage photos and finished the cards...and tomorrow my 🧡 comes home (weather permitting).

Staying snow-day busy: a box of cake mix (a free-coupon instacart item) plus some adjustments created strawberry 'brownies', which I'll top with chocolate ganache once cool. Snuck 15 minutes of hula hoop while they baked. Cookie butter dark chocolate brownies are in the oven now.

Today is a snow day, no work for me! I'm curled up in the desk chair, watching big fat flakes drifting down. The dogs are snuggled in bed with Si. I can hear my 🧡's fingers flying over his keyboard as he types.
These are such small things, but they are so beautiful.
