The bread is baking. Smells so good. This time I used 25% whole wheat and 75% high gluten flours. It still isn’t rising as much as I would like, but I think it’ll be fine. I know it will be edible, but I am always looking for that perfect loaf of bread. I don’t think these will be perfect. But tasty and edible is good enough for me! Looking forward to having sandwiches and soup for dinner tonight.

I also need to bake cookies, because there are no sweets in the house, and the husband will be wanting some. Doesn’t he always? :lol:

There was a new cat snooping around in the back yard this afternoon. Pretty little thing. Snow white, except for a few spots of orange on the head and an orange striped tail. One blue eye and one green eye. Very skittish. No idea where it came from. Hopefully, it wasn’t dumped in the neighborhood, because we really don’t need another cat.

Speaking of cats … why is it I can leave the one of the sliding doors on the bedroom closet open, but Myu insists on opening the other one to get into the closet? Doesn’t matter which one I leave open either. She just has to go through the one that isn’t standing wide open. Tonight I’ll slide them both to the center, so maybe she won’t be clawing at the door all night. Silly cat.

I’ve finished doing my research on the constitutional amendments we are voting on today. Gave me a headache, but I am now prepared to tell my husband how to vote. No really, I sometimes tell him how to vote. I do explain why though, and who knows if he actually votes the way I tell him too. I don’t have him that well trained (yet). Now all that’s left is for him to get home early enough for us to go vote!

In other news, my back has been bugging me the last few days, and today it’s gotten much worse. One spot between my shoulders and one spot in my lower back are screamingly painful. I have little doubt this was somehow caused by all that work in the bedroom closet. It’s not like I have done any other major lifting or box shifting lately. Odd that it took so long to start bugging me, but I was pretty lazy for a couple of days after I declared the closet work at an end (for now).

Actually, now that I think about it … I sort of hurt all over today. Blech.

The bread is about to come out of the oven, and then I think I’ll change into some clothing that isn’t dusted with flour and go have a nap with the cats. Maybe some aspirin, some kitty cuddling, and a little snoozing will make me feel less achy. I sure hope so, because right now, I feel like one huge OUCH.
