I am done making candy for the day comma dammit. I could do one more batch of toffee and fudge, but my feet hurt and I’ve given the kitchen over to Ted for truffles and peanutbutter balls. I shall work on packing up goodies, and see if I actually need any more fudge or toffee. How’s THAT for a crazy idea!

new glasses
I do not like my new glasses.
