Just made a large pot of mushroom vegetable soup. It should last me a few days while I recover.

That sounds perfect.

I am home with a mild cold and the bump on my head, which doesn't seem to be going away, and the daily headaches, which also don't seem to be abating. My doctor is on holiday in Canada, but I'm certain he'd just tell me to take OTC painkillers (I have better products here). Other doctors would say the same. Mild concussions usually go away in 1-2 weeks, but I had one many years ago that lasted six months. I truly need some major R&R, but this isn't quite what I had in mind.

On the positive side, I started 'TIS THE SEASON TO BE MURDERED last night and can order from Grubhub if so inclined. I'm able to do minor household chores, which of course are ever present. Not terrible, just not what I had in mind.

A cold on top of your concussion, definitely not what you needed.  'TIS THE SEASON TO BE MURDERED is a good book to read while you take it easy.

Had two 5 oz filet mignon steaks from Omaha Steaks - excellent and just right.

Not bad. Am now defrosting the other two, which I'll either have tomorrow or Tuesday. So easy to cook and they give you their special seasoning, which is excellent.

I haven't received any Hanukah gifts - some gelt would be nice, chocolate or otherwise.

First up was the card with stickers.  The front of the card says "fun for you".  I am amazed that she can open something for the first time and read it.

Then another book she liked when we were there, The Little Excavator, that also has an excavator plush toy.

I don't remember how many tickets were presold for tonight, but we've been told to expect a fairly good walk-up crowd.

I lit the candles, after finally finding them.  My gift was the video call :)

Have finally assigned all but two duets. They're the two kids I'm worried about - they seemed a bit uncomfortable on their videos, so I've written each parent and asked if they'll be completely comfortable in front of an audience and that they can learn new material well.

I have several digital screeners I could watch but on the computer rather than the TV. Doesn't thrill me, frankly - but who knows if they'll eventually show up as screeners.

I agree, and stickers if you are almost three ;)
