I am working on developing a training deck of staggering genius at work. I’m quite positively obsessed with it. I wake up in the middle of the night writing pieces of it in my sleep. It teaches using practical examples and hands-on activities. Best of all, it’s ACCURATE. And yes, I’m being a little tongue-in-cheek here, but really, I’m proud of the effort. I really do think this will help reviewers succeed in a way that our outdated, lecture-style materials just never could. I’ve completed 1.5 of the 25 total modules, but folks, Rome wasn’t built in a day. And yes, I realize this makes me a total nerd. I cannot deny it. I can think of worse things.

Our team building activity this week was a cooking class/demonstration with Chef Baba. Chef Baba is a character. We made penne a la vodka, pizza, and bananas foster. It was fun, but oh, so very hot. I don’t think it was air conditioned. Also it smelled like something caught fire at some point. But the food was pretty good, and it was entertaining. Now time to go home. I actually can’t wait.

It was a pretty good day. Santa knows what’s up, y’all. There was a game of Poop involved. How could you go wrong with Poop? Dinner was amazing. Maybe not beautiful, but incredibly delicious. We made a turkey roulade with apples, sausage, and cornbread and a side of fried smashed potatoes. Colleen made a kale salad with cranberries and butternut squash that was incredible. Now it’s almost 8:30 and the day is catching up with me. I got about four hours of sleep on account of Christina waking up an hour after I went to bed, just as I was falling asleep. She woke up Pinot and gave him carrots in his crate, which got him worked up. He whined and barked until I finally took him out and dropped him in Christina’s arms as officially her problem. Within 15 minutes, he was running all over the house, barking. Apparently 2:30am is play time. He woke up Robin, and I probably should have just given up then. At some point I must have fallen asleep without realizing it, because I thought I got up to yell at the kids to go the fuck to bed and don’t get up until real, actual morning. They both said that didn’t actually happen, which I guess is good. They were also nice enough to let me sleep an extra 15 minutes after our agreed-upon 7:15am start time. All said and done, a good Christmas. Christmas is morphing for us right now, and it just goes to show that magic flows where it’s needed, in the way it’s needed, and while it’s not always what we expected, it’s still magic.

Eating outside on the patio is always special and worth the effort. As is asparagus. Besides a nice dinner, Christina went to a birthday party, I went food shopping, I sewed until I ran out of thread, Robin had a cheer practice, and we played Uno. Not a bad day.
