Ha-ha, like I'm ever going to do this (saw on IG)--but aren't the orange peels clipped into stars pretty? How did they get them so even?
At the nearby bakery: "Be Smart, Stand Apart" donut floor markers.
This bakery mostly makes old-fashioned American things, like the holiday sheet cake, but they also bake that Swedish Princess Torte, top left:
covered in green marzipan, it's white cake layered with whipped cream and raspberry jam. Sweet!
I'm making my usual pot roast for Xmas, because I like it, and it's incredibly easy.
Otherwise I'm not planning a celebration.
I don't usually do much for the holiday, so it doesn't make much difference to me that we can't gather.
HM is bummed because she can't see her children, so she's not in the holiday mood.
Marz, I think, is mostly in an in-between stage--job hunting and waiting for her synthesizer to arrive so she can play it.
But as I keep saying, I'm in a good mood since my dental excavation.
I'm remembering that in the past couple years, I was looking at articles with titles such as, "How to Improve Your Energy."
I've never been a super-energetic person, but I'm not usually torpid.
Can it really have been that infected tooth? I keep marveling.
I'm thinking yes.

Weird.
Anyway, I'm enjoying feeling more zestful.
