And here we are, heading into the week that has no days. Today is supposedly Monday, but Friday is happening on Wednesday this week, so is it really Wednesday? And who knows what "real" Friday will be - a second Saturday, perhaps? And don't even get me started about Sunday happening on Thursday. I'm just gonna free-fall my way into the new year…

I've been busy baking sweets to go in the "Christmas Boxes" I send to family, and yesterday I made some cookies and iced them with royal icing. The icing didn't set - it's still sticky, and whether I put too much water in or it's just too humid, I do not know. But they can't be mailed and I am bereft. The mister, on the other hand, is gleeful and views this as a complete boon - an entire batch of cookies (they taste wonderful!) that he can eat!
