(no subject)
I slept more than 12 hours last night. When I rolled onto my back, I found breathing hard because my back hurts so much.
Somehow life seems to be winning now. I've been so tired and so drawn thin the whole last week that I've barely have had the energy to do what I have to do and nothing more.
And oh fuck, all those messages I keep missing in AIM. Glass, I'm not dropping out! I'll swing in tomorrow or the day after, just have been taking a small break. There was someone else I didn't catch later online... but I can't remember who it was. D: I'M SORRY!
I baked some yesterday. I made three different kinds of bread and a cake, which was awesome. I'm so unhappy that my camera decided to betray me right now, and my charger is somewhere hiding. But it was all green with candy lilies on top of it (I made them as well), and I painted it with golden swirls and leaf patterns and... even those were good. I generally am not a big fan of sugar dough, but I decided to drop in a hint of lemon juice into the dough and it tasted neat. Also, marzipan/marchipane (I have no idea which is the correct spelling, my dictionary gave me both) tasted a lot better when painted with some alcohol. Haha. True story. I hate the taste, generally, sometimes it's good. But honestly, Leijona gave it a good kick. And the amount of it was so little that even kids could eat the flowers. Inside I had smashed peaches and lemon mousse kind of thing. Peaches weren't sweetened, except they came from a can so it was already a bit sweet. The mousse had a bit of dust sugar but that's all. All in all, it was the best cake ever. Bread was fabulous as well, I wanted bread cake but couldn't be bothered to make one, so I just baked some bread and made some fillings and served them like that.
I'm so cranky today. I just want to kick something. Mnn. I just want to complain about so many things. But I don't feel like I should. I recently just answered this meme thing, not something I posed, but there were questions, several of them, regarding life in general, whether it's a result of luck and fate or something of my own doing, and I replied 'based on my own actions and choices' every damn time. So, I suppose I should take my own advice and actually make more effort. POintless whining is not the biggest crime in existence, I know that. And I don't really mind when others do it. But I feel a little hypocritical every time I keep moaning about something I could probably fix if I'd just try.
So, I suppose that's it.
