hurried home tonight because mid way through the afternoon I realized that I will be out tomorrow evening at another Holiday Concert…

had been thinking that I had time tonight and tomorrow night to get ready for Wednesday’s pot luck and my last day at work before my holidays begin… bit of a shock as there was still lots to do…

was able to fit in a short nap, as I am fighting a bit of a cold… then I was up and on to the jobs… started to make the appetizer that is part of the pot luck only to discover that, although I reviewed the recipe about 3 times, I had missed the fact that I needed curry… and guess what there wasn’t in the cupboard, sigh…

put out a message to my BS buddies and two of them arrived with curry when we gathered…

of course, that meant that job had to be put on hold… made some supper and while it cooked, worked on the couple of projects I had scheduled for tomorrow night… did some wrapping and made name tags, and then ate my dinner and put everything away that I had been working on…

cleaned up the kitchen like a fiend and sat down with a cup of tea about five minutes before the first arrival…

had a lovely visit, and we were all in the same room, which made it even better…

once our gathering ended, I went and finished the appetizer… the little bit I saved for tasting is pretty fine…

sunset tonight as I was headed for my nap…

need to pick up another timer for the second light in the living room… with the new furniture I have to climb over couches to turn off the light… really need to deal with that…
