New Life

I am experimenting with bread. The Good Doctor got a new bread machine and gave me his old one. Of course, he wants to tell me how to make "his" bread, but I'm stubborn and I like to experiment. The first loaf was hard as a brick. I used all whole wheat flour and flax seed meal. Hahahaha. Yeah. Rock solid. Last night's was a bit better. Mostly white flour and a smaller mix of whole wheat and oatmeal. It's a little fall-aparty, but it's much, much better. Will try again in a few days. I have to eat this one. I am in need of a houseful of people to eat my creations. Sigh.

Remember last week, when I told you I have this new exciting thing that I'm exploring career wise? Well, I have my first meeting tonight. It has to do with research and writing and you all know I love THAT. Too bad it's not about The Bubonic Plague, because then I wouldn't have to do any research at ALL! Anyone care to throw a new disease out there for me to play around with? You know that's my favorite thing ever. Anywho, I'll let you know how it goes.

That also means that I can't run with the runner's club tonight. *Sulk* It will be me on a treadmill later on. Blech. But guess what? I think I found out what the breathing problems are all about. My Recovery Dad told me last night that his asthma and breathing are out of CONTROL right now because of the super high pollen counts and the dust and he says that he rarely goes outside this time of year because it just means one asthma attack after another. Um. Yeah. I guess I'll be running inside until it freezes.

And I'm over here today, talking about the elusive MILE.
