We baked some cookies for me without a recipe because none could be found that fit my dietary requirements. Considering this, they really turned out well - especially the second attempt, lol.

 

In the end I started to miss my bed, but I actually stayed one night longer than originally planned because I simply didn't want to leave yet. The trip did put some strain on my body, so I'm still recovering. Although, technically I think I'm well-rested enough by now, I've just been having reactions to anything and everything since I returned, which makes it hard to tell.

 

I don't know what my body is objecting to. It caused me to miss an appointment this morning and I'm very tired of this nonsense.

 

In general, I feel hopeful about the new year though. Several things seem to be moving in the right direction, and last year was honestly not bad. Politically? Bad. But personally? A time of growth.

 

I can only hope I will continue along this path.
