io, Saturnalia!
Did you all have a good Saturnalia yesterday? You know, Saturnalia?It’s a Roman festival of feasting and gambling, and you had me at feasting. As recently as last night, Wikipedia also designated Saturnalia as a day of Tomfoolery. Today, however, that has been edited out. So I’m glad I got to celebrate what was potentially the last Tomfoolery-laden Saturnalia.
Amidst the general revelry, Operaman showed me how to make thumbprint cookies for my office holiday party. For those of you out of the cookie loop as I was, thumbprint cookies are little cookies with a little thumbprint in the middle which you fill with jam. They are the sort of cookies I would pass over at a party for their egregious lack of chocolate, but they came out rather tasty. In fact at this very moment I am trying to ignore the two dozen of them in the bottom drawer of my file cabinet.
Cookies and feasting seems an appropriate post just now, here in what I think I need to rename My BiPolar Blog. On the plus side I got a mass email this morning about depression and the holidays that cheered me right up. Because seriously, if an email is going out to our whole bureau - an email with tips like “Try not to fret over getting everything done and done just right” and “Remember to have fun” – there are people a lot more crazy than I am.
