Christmas cookies - check!
So tonight was a work get together for dinner and a cookie exchange. The company had had a Christmas party a few weeks ago which I had planned to go to but didn't for reasons that boil down to social anxiety is a bitch. But tonight was just people from my store so it was much easier to handle.
The restaurant we went to was one that's been around since I was a kid, but I hadn't been there in years (not since they served me raw chicken in my chicken parm because yikes). Tonight the food was good and plentiful and reasonably priced. So the restaurant may have made its way off my shit list finally.
I like almost all my coworkers (there's one notable exception but she was sitting at another table so I didn't have to interact with her much) so it was good conversation that flowed freely with people I actually like talking to.
And now I have 60 Christmas cookies in 10 varieties (probably closer to 70 in 11 varieties if I count the leftovers of the type I made (chocolate chow mein cookies ) so at least my festive homemade goodies needs are taken care of?
But it was... nice. I think I'd like to do more social things. I've got out of the habit of it the last couple of years.That might be something to work on in for the new year.
