bearshortyAfter taking yesterday off, I finally tackled the history final exams. I finished grading History of Law finals and did the Excel formula for final grades. One more set of exams to go. Then I cleaned the bathroom. And right after I was done, Bear drove up – great timing.
Since Papa is going on his non-iodine diet and won’t be able to have egg yolk, Mama decided to make potato pancakes for Hanukkah today instead of Tuesday. Best lunch ever.
Bear and I tacked Christmas shopping today and went to the mall. To me the mall is a soul sucking place that, if I believed in Hell, would be what hell is. I think this is mostly in clothing stores or shoe stores, other stores are a little better. But it was nice to actually get out of the house after a semester of teaching and grading. And it was a pretty good day overall. I got new lipstick and eyeliner at Victoria’s Secret and did some presents shopping. Mostly for Bear’s parents and sister and our grandmothers. And, of course, I had to get something for Galya since we stopped by a toy store. I still need a bit more presents, but I’m set for most of the stuff.
I ended up making pasta with sauce for us for dinner, since that was cheaper than going out and I was not really in the mood for take out anyway. I miss cooking. I can’t wait to make our traditional seafood lasagna on Christmas Eve.
