Today I defined success as getting out of bed and going to my dads down the street. (about 200 yards or so).

I've been fighting a chest thing (Nasty cough, sore throat, chest hurting from the coughing, not getting any sleep...) last few days. Reached a peak last night and broke rather then going into full chest infection. Finally got plenty of sleep and got up at 3pm.

Then went back to bed a hour later and had another nap. Got up again and finally made it over to my dads for a coffee. I just feel so worn out now. Hopefully a couple of days of rest and I'll be back to my usual fighting fit self.

My husband gave me Wonder Woman shoes, and a book I didn't know I wanted (he said that, "Here's a present you didn't know you wanted.").

You can tell we're attuned, because I did want it without knowing it.

When making cookies and the recipe says to flatten the little balls of dough, a can of Fancy Feast makes a good "flattener"....

An unopened can, I assume... unless you want cat-chewed cookies.

Going to my brother's home for X-Mas tomorrow, and I want to bring some chocolates along with the gifts. My brother is alergic to peanuts, so I figure I could find some peanut-free chocolates...

Right?

Wrong. Every box of every brand at 3 different stores said 'may contain peanuts and/or tree nuts' on it.

For Halloween, I found peanut-free chocolate bars all over the place. Why is it so hard to find at X-Mas?

Liability issues.

I don't understand. For Halloween, Hershey' has a box of mini-chocolate bars with "Made in a peanut-free facility" printed all over the box... yet I can't find a peanut-free box of Black Magic or Lindor or any brand of "gift" chocolates.

Maybe they think that the peanut alergy thing is just a kids' thing...

[Andara Bledin]

Halloween is a time of giving away candy, so candy is specially made in lots of different ways for Halloween.

Candy isn't a big deal at Christmas, so nobody goes out of their way to do anything special but for some cosmetic stuff.

I don't think they care about liability; they have the peanut facility note, so their asses are covered. It's more economic: they only do the peanut-free when they think they'll sell enough of it to cover the expense and the rest of the year they don't because it costs more to do than the "may have peanut dust" which all sells just fine already.
