work potluck today. I made all my contributions from scratch so it was much cheaper than buying something pre-made from the grocery store at the last minute...and the added benefit is that my food got rave reviews.

I am so exhausted. my dreams have been much too vivid and emotionally charged for the past few nights. they are keeping me from feeling rested. I hope I can get some calm sleep tonight before my long drive tomorrow!

my coworkers really seemed to like their holiday gifts, too....I'm glad. one more stressor I can check off the list.
