I think I'm fighting off a cold. My nieces and my mom were passing terrible things around, but I haven't fully succumbed yet. Granted, my plans tonight have always been to stay home and do nothing but read and watch TV, because I haven't spent much time relaxed at home for the last few months.

I have been out for toilet paper, booze, and some groceries. I'm now in my pajamas with laundry in the washer, and I don't plan to move far from the couch for the rest of the evening.

Actually, I'm not terribly hungry, so I think I'll skip it this year. Maybe tomorrow night.

I'll be watching Mad Max: Fury Road with a couple of friends tonight. And I got the ingredients for Moscow Mules, although that was as much an excuse to indulge my fondness for copper (post-Christmas half off mugs).

Oh, I have sparkling wine! I should put that in the fridge.

I am, of course, spending the evening vacuuming and disinfecting my kitchen shelves. It's time consuming!

I was supposed to go out and get prosecco today, but I decided I was too lazy and it was too cold outside. So, we'll be toasting with perry tonight. At least it is a super nice perry we had picked up while Christmas shopping.

I'm too full of cold meds of various kinds that I'm a little leery of mixing them with alcohol. So I may just have hot chocolate with a Peep gingerbread man and whipped cream.

DH wants to make Hot Toddies, which neither of us have ever had. If they turn out to be Hot Terribleness, we will fall back on Moscow Mules.

Teppy, that sounds like a good substitute for alcohol. Feel better!

I have strep throat with new!, added chest congestion and coughing, and I'm in jammies on the couch. Both kids are out, the dog is snoring next to me, and I have food, movies, and chocolate. I'm sort of psyched, to be honest.

Boy, I feel like I should be sacrificing a small creature of some sort in thanks that I've only had some congestion so far this winter.
