Hump Day

Eric is amazing. After work tomorrow, at 6:00 o'clock, 17+ folks (Eric's co-workers and their sig figs) are coming to our house for Hannukah.

We didn't even settle on the menu and go grocery shopping until after work today! Still, when the guests arrive tomorrow we'll be ready, largely due to Eric's efforts. I set the table tonight: one, long, table with holiday greenery, dreidels, and gelt. The briskets are cooking now.

As exhausted as I am (which is pretty darn exhausted), I'm still so happy to share this life with Eric... to be people who'll throw a dinner party for 20 on a weeknight.

Now if I can just reconcile that with my buzzing feet and aching bones.
