- Took Mom to work. I like dropping her off and picking her up because I get to visit with her on the way there, and I get to think to myself on the way back. I like driving alone on the highway listening to music.
- I was starting to feel overwhelmed with all the things I ought to be getting done this break, but that feeling inspired me to workout harder than normal for an hour, and I was feeling calmer after that.
- I went to Starbucks to work on a speech I have to do.
- While I was there, Andrew called me. We haven't chatted in forever, and even in those few minutes we laughed a lot. I love that.
- I got good work done on the speech (and enjoyed a hot cocoa).
- When I got home, I read the speech to Neil and Ellen and they helped me work on it for 4 hours. I am especially grateful for their work.
- During the last hour or more, Ellen read parts of the speech to me and we tweaked wording and phrasing, all while I baked five spinach sausage loaves.
- Then friends came over and enjoyed spinach sausage loaf and some card games.
- Ellen helped me even more by designing some business cards she and I need to order.
- Then I stayed up until about 4am, and enjoyed not feeling guilty about it.
- I watched House of Cards (I love when I find a show good enough to watch multiple episodes in a row) and worked on some more Christmas projects.
