counting days

[morgi]

Next Saturday is the 4-week post-op mark. Three days after that is one month post-op. Hopefully on one of those dates I will:

• no longer have to avoid restaurants with people in them (we have an Olive Garden gift card I'm dying to use)
  
• be allowed to drive again
  
• no longer have to measure the liquids I take in and put out.
  

I picked up Q*Bert today

I don't think cat-picking-up can be avoided for very long. Though it sounds like your recovery is going quite well.

And thanks for reminding me about making bread!! We're all out, and a loaf-on-the-go always makes the house feel warmer and smell great.

Bread machines are wonderful things! Ours is even supposed to have a setting to make jam, though we haven't tried that.

Really? Mebil not know.

I think ours has a jam/sauce/pet setting, too. I know I've never used this setting, and I don't think Amanda has either.

In some ways it frightens me, but I can't quite figure out why.

I looked at the settings on the bread machine. There is nothing like that.

What is a pet setting? Does one make furballs out of some predetermined ingredients?

Re: Bread Machine

Maybe your bread machine just infers that it can make jam? I think it's just a mixing thang, though I have no basis for that thought.

The pet setting may have a different name on your machine. On ours it emits an audible alert that causes the pets to run into the kitchen in hopes that our bread will try to escape and they can save us!

I think it's the very last setting that makes jam. I just rediscovered the instruction/recipe book that tells me.

Some of our settings have that--it beeps to tell you to add raisins or nuts, but I don't think our cats pay it a lot of attention. Or they run in terror.
