RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Pretty alright, except I managed to contract a mild flu.

The main event with Christmas dinner went well (It's on the 24th here in Norway), and as I'm the chef for such occasions I get to stay in the kitchen and watch youtube and the like, chilling with a few beers, while my GF does all the guest-stuff. (5 guests, 11 total people total).

Today is leftovers day, with a few hours until some of the people arrive, so now I'm chilling in the kitchen again.

I'm currently self medicating with a Laphroaigh Quarter Cask, and combined with a moderate dose of paracetamol it helps dulling the barbed wire in my throat.

My kids are satisfied and happy with their gifts, and that's all that matters in my book.
