Dec. 17th, 2021 07:24 pmThe missing Amazon packages were in the office. Apparently they were just tossed into the lobby (definitely still not a mailroom!). Someone in the office grabbed them so they wouldn't get stolen, but they noticed them just as they were leaving for the day. (Which is probably around the time they were delivered. Alex went down and looked maybe ten/fifteen minutes later, when he saw my text telling him the stuff was supposed to be there.)
So... my apologies for saying the driver was being shady... just lazy, turns out.
Now I'm just worried about the books I ordered from B&N. That's the vast majority of what I got for my mom and Taylor. Two books shipped separately; one arrived, and one is in transit. The others are all in one order with a mislabeled tracking number (the B&N site said UPS, it's actually a USPS number), that says only that the label was created, but that it hasn't been received by the post office yet. :/ I certainly don't mean to be Like That, I'm just chronically anxious.

My focus was just absolutely blown today at work. I don't know why, exactly. Maybe I'm already in Christmas mode. A decade+ later, and I still miss having holiday breaks!
At least tomorrow is my last Saturday for a while, since the next two will be holidays! Though I do have to stay an hour and a half late for our center meeting, which means it'll be a 10 hour day, oof.
Still need to figure out the plan for my holiday baking. Mon/Tues seems too early for most of it, but Friday I'll be at my mom's already, and Weds/Thurs are work days. I can certainly do things after work, I guess, I just know I'll wish I could be lazy, lol.
Alex said he really liked the yule log cookies I made last year, so he does want me to make them again. So those, kolaches, pain in the ass Kahlua truffles... Alex wants to make the Norwegian butter squares, a different Norwegian shortbread cookie he made last year, and the zucchini cake. Then this morning he said he wanted to make a cheesecake, too. Lol, so much! I know he just likes baking, and we just never do it outside of the holidays. So I won't try to dissuade him. Just... so much!
