I felt a lot lighter as soon as I got home last night from the glögg party. Not enough lighter to check my email right away, though.

Tomorrow and Saturday are Wax's last free days before the 24th, so we will need to start baking and/or cleaning tonight.

Also there's the possibility that we may not be able to get a whole ham, or the frozen sweet root vegetable casseroles that Wax was planning to get for the feast on Christmas Eve: they were all out of those last year and we bought the ham earlier last time. I personally find the smell of it cooking very off-putting, but it's gotta cook here (even though we never buy or cook pork ourselves because of my food sensitivities) from straight logistics. It has to thaw a day before and takes a long time in the oven; the guests are coming from minimum half an hour away.
