Ahhhh.....shit.
Literally.
I ate asparagus for lunch and it has acted as a laxative, keeping me up much later than I wanted to be.
Since I was up anyhow, I sorted and started my laundry. When the shitstorm subsided, I took a shower and washed my hair because I did not feel "fresh."
I feel better now.
Except I cannot find my glasses. And, being fundamentally blind as a bat, without my glasses, I cannot FIND my glasses.
I did finish the book I was reading. I think the next one shall either be a reread of The Swiss Family Robinson or House Made of Dawn.
In my unemployed state, I intend to catch up on my reading. I have scores of books that I want to read, books I even OWN and have toted with me from place to place, but being so busy teaching all the time, have not had the time to read. I am looking forward to reading lots and lots.
It has been so many years since I could just do that.
I need to pay some bills tomorrow, and I need to buy some laundry detergeant as I am almost out. I need to get more things organized in my underground lair and find more places to store things.
My little Peaches is doing so much better. She even crawled into my lap for a short time. She's been playing a little, and sne's been snuggling with her siblings too. I'm so thankful that she will never have to deal with being in heat again. If only Tiggy were likewise.
One of my projects has been typing up the vast collections of recipes that I have collected over the years. If I had time at school, I would sometimes type a recipe or two. I kept a folder in my desk of clipped recipes and stuff. Not only do I want to type them and collect them into cookbooks, I want to try some of them.
I typed up one today called Double Banana Nut Bread. I think I would bake it into muffins, which I find easier to eat. Here's the recipe. I may buy the bananas and cereal if I go to the store and try it. I love banana bread.
Double Banana Nut Bread
1 ½ cups flour
½ cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas (2-3 bananas)
¼ cup water
¼ cup oil
1 ½ cups Post Banana Nut Crunch cereal
Heat oven to 350˚. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large bowl. Beat eggs in small bowl; stir in bananas, water, and oil. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. (Batter will be lumpy).
Stir in cereal. Pour into greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
I think I will also begin sewing Halloween outfits and costumes for dolls once I get my room in order. The cure seasonal stuff seems popular on ebay. Also, I have bought up a bunch of darling small plastic pumpkin containers that are just the right size for trick or treat recepticles for dolls. I can also make doll scale popcorn balls and caramel apples to include in the package. It's all about the presentation and the story that can be made to go along with it.
I am beginning to feel like I can sleep at last. It's only 3 am....haha. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
