Things are going alright at the moment, part from a terrible terrible cold that I'm more than anxious to get well from!
Just got home to my family for the holidays, so the most stressful element of Chrismas is over for my part (the journey). Now, I'm really looking forward to the holidays in general! This'll be the first Christmas I can't eat the same things as everyone else during Christmas dinner. When I first realized this a few weeks ago I got a bit down about it, but now, I'm actually really excited to try out the adapted recipes I've puzzled together!! :D
I'm also currently designing a rather ambitious gingerbread house, and I think I miiight've way in over my head so it'll probably turn out to be more or less of a mess. But I'm having so much fun creating it that I feel the end result doesn't really matter!
Hope everyone else is doing fine, too! :)
@versatileYard8117 I'm glad you're able to relax now! I still have a bunch of things on my to-do list before I'm ready to go!
I'm glad you've found recipes that will work, I had to change some of the traditional foods years ago because of allergies. As for the gingerbread houses I find they either taste great or look great, it's hard to get that balance of both. I haven't made one in a long time, maybe I'll do that inbetween the 2 Christmas dates, do a small nice looking one while cooking some extra gingerbread and decorate it with all the good tasting stuff!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
@AffyAvo Thank you, I hope you'll be able to relax soon too! And what you said about gingerbread houses is absolutely true, I don't think I've even managed a balance between looks and taste! With that said, I hope that your potential gingerbread house-making goes well!! :)
Happy holidays to you too, hope you'll have a wonderful end-of-year!
Not feeling nor comprehending the chriChris spirit.I made the mistake of opening up about my inner most anguish over my disability. I have HSP hereditary spastic paraplegia, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder,chronic rheumatoid arthritis,and afib. My own family dismissed me saying I was annoying and my story of past sexual abuse disgusts them. I know realize that hope and the concept of sharing "stories" is nothing more than an intangible concept to be used as a security blanket for the lonely and isolated. I should have never opened up it's a mistake to seek comfort from others. I've found isolation is the only comfort I will ever find.
