I refrigerated the rest of the batter. Those muffins are going so fast, I don't think I'll need the batter to keep for more than a few days.
Bee has an impacted wisdom tooth and a cracked molar right next to it. He's been is pain since weekend before last! Because he takes blood thinners, he keeps getting sent to different doctors because nobody wants to pull out his teeth and have him bleed to death. At this point, an oral surgeon and a root canal specialist are going to discuss the pro's and cons of root canal vs extraction. Bee's thinking he might not get anything done until next week now. He's miserable. Also, they've spooked him with all their Dental Work and Blood Thinners and DANGER- Oh MY GOD! Why'd they do that? Bee's cousin is on blood thinners and had some wisdom teeth out recently. She was fine. He looks so tired. It's exhausting being in pain all the time. I'm also wondering if it's safe for him to be taking pain killers for so long. Don't those things become addictive after awhile?
My MIL is doing well and can drive now. I'm really glad for her. Especially since we've fallen down on the job of coming over to check on her and get her out of the house. Bee just hasn't been up to it.
I blocked and spritzed two scarves (one I knot for M.E. and one I'd spun and knit for myself) last night and when I unpinned them this afternoon, they both curled right back up again. I did just what the internet told me to do and it didn't work! Hoe do I get my scarves to stop curling in on themselves?
We cannot get rid of our fly problem. It's been over a month now! I keep imagining some huge dead thing under my house breeding more and more and of them. Aside from being disgusting and leaving their little brown fly dots everywhere, they make me feel like I'm living in a HItchcock movie. There is something so forbodeing about walking through my cheerful blue house and finding ten flies swarming around the computer- or suddenly looking up to see fifteen flies on the ceiling. If my life were a southern novel, this would definitly be a sign that the other shoe is about to drop- or that we have some big old stinky family secret in our past that we are trying to forget. What is it with October? We had a bad one last year too. By the last week of October last year Bee was in the hospital with another pulmonary embolism. I've always said October is my favorite month, but I'm thinking I might switch to November.
