Energy crisis

Cooking takes energy.

Parties take food.

Food takes cooking.

Where is my energy? Or more to the point, where is my energy for preparing all the good things that we'll have on Wednesday? The only thing that I made today was hummus --- I had plans to do the chocolate roulade and the cherry bombe today; they can both be frozen, so they are good to do several days in advance.
I was able, on the other hand, to summon the energy to make bread, to marinate chicken and shrimp for dinner, to cook a rice and lentil blend with carrots, onions, courgettes and yellow squash, and to grill corn on the cob. So where did all the other energy go earlier in the day?

Yours, drained,
