Welp, bread dough is in the trash. It did not rise in the three hours I gave it (it was only supposed to take two) so it had to go or I risked an unpleasant tasting loaf. I felt frustrated, annoyed, and angry at first. I was nervous to make it in the first place…

I had my first ever ultrasound this morning. There are pictures out in the world somewhere of my spleen and kidneys now. I kind of like the thought of that. I should learn about what they look like at my doctor's appointment on Monday. I imagine they'll be in top shape. The whole thing was…
My day 8-29-19
Yesterday I ran a bunch of errands, mostly to avoid feeling anxious as Elisabeth is gone the next 7 days in Washington. I haven't really been alone since Gene and I separated and I feel a bit nervous that these next 7 days are going to test me. So I've been trying to schedule time…

Dy 181. I made bread!
Last weekend I got to celebrate Christmas all over again. It was a lovely time with delicious enchilada casserole and rich chocolate peanut butter rice krispie treats. But one of the best parts of that night was that I got a bread machine! I've been wanting one for a while now and had pretty much…
