2023 52 Card Project: Week 50: Baking

[pegkerr]

This is late.

I have Covid. Peg, why couldn't you skip doing a collage this week?

Because I can't, that's why.

Nevertheless, explanations will be abbreviated.

This is a card about the pleasures of baking yummy things. Our family annual cookie bake often coincides with St. Lucia's Day. Longtime readers of this journal know I've celebrated this holiday for years.

Compare this previous collage, for the same week, also titled "Baking." Sorry that I couldn't come up with another subject, but I have no brain.

Baking helps keep the darkness away.

Unfortunately, not Covid.

But that's next week's card.

Image description: Background: christmas cookies spread in rows on a long table. Overlaid over that: coffee and lussekatter (saffron buns for St. Lucia Day celebrations). Overlaid over that lower right: a woman dressed as St. Lucia: white dress, red sash, crown of candles. She holds her hands in a position of prayer.

Hope you feel better soon!!!

Is this your first round of Covid? I hope you feel better soon and can still spend Christmas with your family. <3

Yeah, it’s my first time ever.

I had a trip to the ER because I passed out in the bathroom in the middle of the night, but it turned out to be a vasovagal event, which I’ve had before and I’m fine. They checked me out and sent me home. I’m on Paxlovid, which has helped a lot, except that everything tastes like vaguely dirty dishwater and I can’t be on my sleep med, so I’ve had about four hours sleep the last three nights.

*sigh* I don’t know what will happen for Christmas. I am unsure I will have gifts for my girls in time.

My cards will be late.

*sends you love*

Oh, ugh, I'm so sorry. I hope that lussekatter are sanitive for COVID. And regardless of that, that you feel better.

I’m on Paxlovid. And, thank god, I have been vaccinated and boosted. I’m trying to be grateful.

I know, sometimes "It could be so much worse" is rather cold comfort. Especially if the lussekatter don't taste right. At least it's only five days. *distant hug*
