I am trying to get into the spirit of Christmas. It just hasn't been the same for me since my kids grew up. They are the reason I put so much effort into it. I am not bothering with decorating. I did not set up a tree. I would rather spend my energy on other things. I have most of my shopping done. I have NONE of my wrapping done. Everything is piled up on the guest room bed taunting me with more "to dos". I should have worked on getting some of it wrapped today. Instead I made cookies. It is much fewer than I usually make. Whether I like it or not I am not strong enough yet. I can walk around, for like forever, but if I am using my arms to do anything I get tired very fast.
This year my big cookie sheet full of cookies is very heavy. It is right there on the weight limit I am supposed to be lifting. So all I made was a single batch of chocolate chip and a single batch of peanut butter.
I promised to share some of these with a co-worker/cookie monster. So this will have to do for now. Maybe later this week I will make more.
I tried one of the chocolate chips. Just lovely while it was still warm. I need to go try a peanut butter. Gotta make sure they are worth sharing. I wouldn't want to give away a bad cookie.
Anybody want to help clean up?
