Briefly changed out of PJs to walk the dogs.
Back in PJs. Leftovers consumed. Me and the Dark Sugars selection box have spent some time together. Back to my book. Might nap before hitting the cheese again.

Ham is glazed.

Vat of sauce made for tomorrow’s Christmas lasagne. All I have to do is assemble and bake.
Just to glaze the ham now, cooked it yesterday. (Cooked in ginger beer and spices. Glazed with a negroni glaze).

Cheese might arrive this morning. Christmas MIGHT be back on.
Looks like the cheese isn’t arriving and frankly I’m just cancelling Christmas now.

Autistic burnout, at this time of year. Changes in routine. Increased social activity and masking. Expectations on how you’ll spend your time, your money and your energy. Sensory overload, different lights, textures, smells and sounds. It’s ok not to be ok, even when it’s “the season to be jolly”.

Now on to RF Kuang’s “Katabasis”. Absolute doorstop of a book.
I finally finished The Terraformers. Didn’t enjoy it.
Then read Mona Awad’s “We love you, Bunny”. Both were like nothing I’ve read before. Somewhat fantasy, touch of horror, funny and a commentary on writing, academia and creativity.

Still not made it through The Terraformers but I’ve just devoured Automatic Noodle in a day.
What a lovely lovely book. An absolute antidote to our current times.
