It's been a strange day
Dec. 21st, 2015 11:16 pmSomehow it disappeared before my eyes.
Most of it was taken up with this
Rolling puff pastry around those dowel rods to make lady locks (creme horns). There's like 100 of them
We tried to fill them using the plastic bag pastry method but the bags just kept bursting at the slightest touch. Sigh. Tomorrow will go for real bags (we threw ours out years ago and having been using the cut ziploc bag without problems.
And here's the view outside my bedroom today



30 + of them and not a Tom among them (not that it's their season also don't like wild turkey). They hung out for some time. Well at least the yard is de-grubbed.
Aunt S2 came up to wish mom happy birthday (it's in 2 days) but came up too early pissing off mom and then went to see my other aunt and uncle and why is it NO ONE in this family will honor it when you say I DO NOT WANT TO TALK POLITICS. Because you KNOW you'll hear things that you would sever a friendship over without a second thought but you can't quite do that with family?
And to add to the big-ass suck that is 2015, my brother's brother in law was hospitalized today with what could be meningitis.
Working on edits, wondering not for the first time why I even write.
