I didn’t get the start on the day that I wanted to, but I did get the things done that I wanted to get done. Well, I’m not quite finished with the last batch of cookies, but I will be able to finish, probably before 8 pm.
I did start the morning with some self care. I was dehydrated after the dress rehearsal, so I focused on drinking water – starting with a coconut water, and a shake for breakfast.
I got my exercises done, working up a sweat again with those lunges. Then I got the mail while my body was warm. I saw the mail being delivered while I walked down, so my timing was just right.
I made the sweet cheese filling for the kolaches, and then made another batch of dough. The dough is still chilling right now. It needs at least 4 hours in the fridge before I can bake with it.
I’ve baked about 40 cookies so far, some of them done while I was on a zoom with my parents.
The dress rehearsal went well last night. I was too late to the potluck for anyone to try my onion salad, but I enjoyed it, and I’m glad it’s in my fridge still. I knew I was going to be late. I didn’t bother to leave on time. I’m kind of lucky I got myself moving at all.
This weekend is a lot for me. I might need to take a day off work next week to recover. I just have less energy than I did last year.
I had a wave of emotion overtake me today. Brought me to the floor. But then it passed. And I kept going.
Ambrose liked to quote Finding Nemo to me. “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.” That’s all I have to do.
I’ve got a headache coming on now, and I’m not sure what it’s from. It feels like a migraine, but I haven’t gotten those this far from my period in recent memory. Maybe it’s a weather change coming on. The inversion is supposed to be going away, and there’s snow in the overnight forecast. It might even start soon.
