Done!

It's just about noon on Christmas eve and I'm finally caught up with everything that I need to. All of the gifts have been purchased and wrapped (except for wrapping some small stocking stuffers that I do when I put those together), food purchased and even Cinnabons bought! I did my 3.67 mile run early this morning and the only thing really missing is doing my weight workout at the gym. But, I think I'll do some sit-ups here this afternoon and maybe some legs exercises, so that should be okay. All gifts that I was making I finished yesterday as well. So now I have all of the ingredients out to make a batch of Belgium ale. As it's boiling, I'll try to finish a book that I've been reading for the last few days and just relax!

Catch up!

It seems like Christmas is far enough away that I'll get everything done that I want to, but then when I realize it's less than 2 weeks and I still have a full week of work, plus my anniversary, my daughter's birthday, and of course my exercising (I have to at least keep up the minimum or I'll be really cranky). So I'm not sure how much time I really will have and I hate trying to finish things at the last minute. That said, I did manage to run over 7 miles this morning and make a nice breakfast before sitting here at my computer, catching up on emails and post, and trying hard to knit fast! I also have ingredients for a new Belgium ale I want to make, but I forgot to do the yeaster starter. So I guess I'll do that maybe mid-next week and brew one of days I'm off. We'll see. I also have the peach wheat ale that has been in the carboy for two weeks that I'm going to take a reading on today as well. It might be another week before bottling, but since it's for my daughter's birthday I want to bottle is as soon as possible! That's about it for now. A lot going on, not a lot of free time!
