I have 3.5 ornaments left to make, and at least 1.5 of them need to be finished tonight. They are stockings. Smallish things with my first ever short row heels. I love them. They are perfectly red and white with a bit of glitz, matching the little stocking caps. I might be up all night long working on them, but I can't completely bring myself to care.
It is snowing again and it is beautiful. I'm meeting friends after work for a little bit of good cheer, and then I'm going to go home and root for bad fantasy football scores (I'm in the playoffs and am going against my FIL tonight, who has 2 players in tonight's game).
It's been a day of good luck. I went to the local CVS and they offered to give me my cash back in rolls of quarters! It was like a gift to go near the bank without needing to go in. There were sweets at work, but I exercised my high levels of willpower and have denied myself (something I don't normally care about, but there was a day earlier this week where I had peppermint bark before breakfast).
I have learned new things, revisited old things, and generally have set myself up to enjoy most of the next two weeks. It's a good time of year.
