Baked my special family baking powder/cream of tarter biscuits last night. Doubled the batch to store frozen.
I drank wine while making/baking them.
Both DH and I got into them, with honey on top, hot out of the oven.

I should have stopped at 1. But no, I ate another, with wine of course.

The commotion caused by overdoing on the second biscuit and wine in my tummy woke me at midnight.

Up from midnight to 4:15am. Went back to bed slept til 9am.

Another New Year resolution: stop buying wine; treat myself one glass, only if out to dinner.
I don't even think about wine, unless it is in the house.

@hollydolly Let us know when you're back home safe and sound. I worry about you out there on the roads with all the crazies.

Helloo... I'm back it's almost 10.15pm.... the roads were horrible coming back in the dark... and it had been raining hard down this way so there was a lot of standing water... and with headlights making reflections in the water, it's like having double lot of headlights coming at you..

We Had a lovely day other than that.. fortunately the rain stayed off up north where we were but it was overcast so I couldn't really get any nice pictures...

The pub restaurants was lovely..I decided to have Chicken gyros.. DD had a rare steak.. and then we both had desserts...

I normally have something small, but today I pushed the boat out and I decided I would have 2.. Creme brulee... and a side of Blood orange sorbet.. Dd had Brownie and fresh cream

My guardian angel went on Christmas break and forgot to tell me. I fell over something that was not there on the patio last night. Both of the wine glasses I was carrying landed on the beige sofa and are fine. Busted tailbone, egg on my head, a couple of other dings. Not sure about some ribs. Not broken but very angry with me. Not what was on my list for Christmas.

I have to deal with the grocery shopping and laundry. Then an other Voltaren and a good movie to sleep to.

Busted tailbone... ? are you sure?... I got a broken coccyx after my father continually kicked me even dragging me up from the floor to keep kicking when I was unable to stand anymore..until my mother eventually put a stop to it...by then he'd broken my tailbone... I was 15... the pain was horrendous.. I couldn't even stand much less walk or sit...

I hope you've just bruised yourself.. rather than fractured...
 
Normally I wouldn't go out in snowy, cold weather, but this morning we had to. When I stepped outside, I noticed our sidewalks hadn't been cleared yet and there was a gusty wind. My son helped me down the stairs and off we went to Home Depot to get a new faucet. He wanted one with a hose. We couldn't get the kind that the hose pulls down from the faucet because I need to be able to attach the adapter for the countertop dishwasher. We got a mid priced Moen.

When we left HD, we went to the Amazon hub where we picked up my two packages and also returned two items. The attendant was very nice and showed us how to manage returns if no one is there to help. Considering the time it took us to choose a faucet, those errands didn't take long at all. I was glad both HD and Amazon's lots and sidewalks were completely cleared of snow. I took a nap this afternoon until about 6 when a friend who had been on my mind called.
 
Glorious sunny day today... what a waste when if it had been today i;d gone to daughters, I'd have got some beautiful photos in Northampton in the villages.. this was the best one that I took, and it just was so overcast...

This is the site of Fotheringhay castle where Mary Queen of Scots was executed....

Guess what? A Christmas Carol ended the same way it always has. One thing bothers me...in one version, the one I watched last night, Fred is engaged. In the others, he's married. Wonder which it really is.

It's very cold here this morning. 25F. Brrrr.

I see on my phone that DD texted me last night saying DSIL wants to know if brandied cranberries will make an appearance on the Christmas dinner table. Sure. Added cranberries to the list of stuff to get today. Um...DD assured me that we were done with grocery shopping. Guess not.

ETA: Maggie let me sleep until 7am again!
 
My early morning walk at 7am temp was 9 degrees with no wind found it refreshing.I was wearing long underwear to protect my knees as I walked around twice,watched a beautiful sunrise
The only plans I have today ,go to our 10:30 church service with close friend, Marcia who is picking me up at 10,read local paper whenever its delivered
I plan to take an afternoon walk since its a sunny day here temps in the teens,as long as the sun is out I take advantage of it
 
I am finally up. I took a nap last night after getting home from the rink, and I slept hard! Then I got up and took a shower.....then went to bed. Again I slept hard, and I got up late.

Even though I took it easy at the rink (lots of breaks), it was cold in there.....I probably should have stayed home.

This morning, I seem to have lost part of my voice. It's a tragedy!!!!! 😉

Ok, that's it for now. I'm going to have my coffee and breakfast. I don't expect to do much of anything for the day. Depends on how I'm feeling. 😫
