Monday but not a work day

After two lazy days, it is time to get back on track.

I was up early to clean up, put dishes away back into the re-installed cabinet, clear the kitchen and table, etc. 

I had the last of hubby's (plain) bagels to start the day

Then chai - but last cup before I need to brew it a new way since my French press is gone.

Then mint choco chai while I finished clean up and started on the final batch of presents (putting together the homemade portions). 

That was interrupted to meet hubby at the grocery store to get everything we need for the holiday and week. It was chaos. Traffic was bad, parking was bad, the store was crowded, they didn't even have some of their staple items. Once we got back home and unloaded our very large haul, he was back off again for his company holiday event. I stayed home, made lunch and dinner for myself while I waited on the HVAC tech to come out and check our heat.

Lunch/dinner was chickpea pasta with asparagus and the leftover refried beans with salsa.

I baked cookies and finished wrapping presents.

I then did my Monday evening exercise or a version of it and most of a session of yoga before I was overcome with furry friends wanting attention.

I finished the day with a snickerdoodle & cacao decaf chai.
