It was pretty treacherous as it was snowing all day long and the roads were super slick. A tractor trailer almost jack knifed (scissor jacked) in front of us. It took us much longer than usual as there were inevitable accidents. On the way back, Hubby thought to take back roads to avoid the standstills on the highway. Tractor trailer drivers decided to do the same and paid the price of not being able to get up hills. We had to go around them. One was trying to pass a stuck one and only managed by both of them folding their side mirrors in. In any case, we got home OK.
I made what will be my only Christmas cookie batch of the year. They don't even tempt me right now. Only Hubby tried one. It was a push to finish them. I had at least made the dough before we left for the government office. It needed to chill, anyway.
Tomorrow we go to Prague again. The weather should be fine. We only have one week before we leave for our trip. Though we did a good amount of Christmas shopping, we need to buy more. The New Jersey part will surely be ultra stressful. When we get to Mexico, I hope to just sit on a beach lounger most of the days. We have to pack a lot. Clothes for NJ chill, summery clothes for Mexico, and all of the gifts. Though we'll leave the gifts behind, we'll replace that space with stuff we can't get in CZ.

Oy! That sounds like a hair raising and fingernails biting ride! Uff da! I’m glad you’re home now and can rest.
