1) Does anyone remember the Great Cookie Plan of 2025? Well, last weekend I made some of the brown butter sugar cookies (of course I made them gluten-free, blah, blah blah) and they were delicious. My husband really liked them and it was really easy to make. I also brought them to book club and the non-GF people also liked them. They're a hit! (Also, A LOT of butter and sugar.)
2) I want to talk about this because I feel like it's important, but I also kind of don't want to talk about it. I had a concerning health screening and today I'm going in today to do a follow-up and I'm kind of nervous about the whole thing, even though it should be fine. In the meantime, I'm sorry to be so vague. I promise that once I find out if it's fine/it's not fine, I'll be more open about what's going on. Maybe especially if it's fine so that everyone else can learn from my (what I'm learning is) common experience.
3) This weekend is the big Labor Day extravaganza! I will bringing two salads. I am not overthinking this and I'm going to bring green bean salad and my regular green salad with berries.
4) Tuesday was a bad day for me. I got a phone call about point #2 in which they tried to reschedule me. At first they were going to reschedule me for Wednesday instead of Friday, but when I asked a follow-up question, it couldn't be done on Wednesday, so they were going to push it back until mid-September. I may have started crying on the phone. She called me back and said she could do it later in the day on Friday. And then I got off the phone, sobbed for a bit, and took the day off on Friday. Today! I'm off!
With some perspective, I realize that my reaction was over the top, but here we are.
5) Once more with a random photo collage from this week. No explanations will be given.

For my American friends, what are you doing with your long weekend? For everyone else, do you think it's weird that I made sugar cookies outside of Christmas?
It's not over the top to be worried about a medical test and get upset when they reschedule you! That's normal! I've had several almost meltdown with nurses/schedulers about appointments for big scary things and frustrating things. However, if they were willing to move you to mid-Sept, it might not be bad. I've found that really bad things get instant treatment, where maybe not so bad can be put off. The medical people know it's probably going to be OK or low key statistically, but you are a person, not a statistic.
ReplyDeleteI will be binge reading T. Kingfisher this weekend. Thank you for posting your reviews- I never would have found these books on my own.
