And we wound up eating late, too. But I finished them, so there! Standard pizza dough recipe, and I always like to add an egg because I think the finished product comes out nicer. I also added a bit of oregano and basil ( Read more... )

The mice had another Blessed Event last night. I hope Rowan is in need of more snackies. Mithril, of course, keeps eying the mouse tank with avid interest. I haven't counted the babies yet, since Mama Mouse doesn't like to be disturbed, but last time, there were eight ( Read more... )

I just finished mucking out underneath our bed. Not done yet...need to get in there and hoover heck out'n it, but that can jolly well wait. The shop vac is in the garage from where I had to suction the dryer vent, and I just do not feel like wrestling it back inside at the moment ( Read more... )

I saw Dr. Noe's covering doctor today. Seems the tendon in the toe is exposed. She trimmed away callus tissue and put a dressing on it and prescribed antibiotics. I get to see Dr. Noe again in a week (the day before Thanksgiving). Once again, I cannot get it wet. I have an "ugly boot" to wear. Etc., so on and so forth. I know the litany so ( Read more... )
