yuuagoAHA. I cleaned out my closet. Now it can close properly - first time in years I've been able to do that. I'm so pleased.
...However, I did not clean out the top of the closet. Here there be dragons. Hoo boy. That's a project for another day. Maybe later this week, even!
Verdict: I own way too many pairs of shoes. Good gods. Some day I will have to eliminate some of them - especially the ones that I can't properly walk in because the heels are too high. But that is a project for another day.
After spending a huge chunk of the day baking cookies, it feels really good to be doing something that isn't, well, baking cookies.
I get kind of sick of cookies after a while. Years ago, there actually was a reason for us making dozens and dozens of cookies; the family meetups were large - let's say around 15 people - and we were in charge of the baked goods. But after the elders died, well, we don't really meet up any more (and to be honest I'm fine with that, I hate travelling at this time of year - and of course my city slicker relatives would never dream of coming up to visit us). So, there's no need for dozens and dozens of cookies.
Kind of makes me want to throw up my hands and say "for fuck's sake, why can't we just bake one batch of shortbread a couple days before the actual holiday and be done with it?". But that wouldn't go over well.
Ah, well.
