I exploded my bread. (Apparently when I took the dishcloth off the top, it tore the far side of the bread. Which I couldn’t see, what with it being the far side, and it baked that way. Oops.

I’ve got a family and a job I love, and…
today i have to….
– bring the coat to Mom (& not get blown away doing it) – take chicken out for dinner – work more on the Gary story* – remember it’s okay, even desireable, to eat apples & grapes for snacks instead of other stuff – laundry – pilates *struggling here, as my plan was to use this story as the “Here!
