my roommate cooked a lovely meal, we had a good time watching 'Murdoch Mysteries' during dinner (it was the one with William Shatner of all people as Mark Twain), and I've finally gotten all the dishes either washed or a load running in the dishwasher, the linens are put in the laundry, and I've got the bread in the oven. Last week's bread dough was like cake batter when it came out, and I had to put a LOT of flour in it to make it work. This time, since it's been raining this evening, I put about 2 oz. less water in it than the normal cup. The dough came out much better, a bit stiff, but it rolled well into the coils and it rose reasonably well. We'll see how it comes out. I've got another 13-15 minutes left. I really, really want to go on to bed, an I just have to go that little bit of time before putting the bread in the upper oven to cool and turning off the lower one. Just 15 minutes. It seems like an eternity. So here I am, whiling the time away on the Internet.
It was a good day. I got a lot done, including some things that were on the back burner but needed to be done.
I found a raw amethyst pendant at UK on my way home, set in a silver setting. There wasn't anyone around and it was outside, so there was no lost and found to turn it in to. It wasn't anything expensive, just maybe sentimental. It feels like a jangly mess whenever I hold it in my hand, so if I keep it, I definitely need to cleanse it or something. But it is nice. I've had things I've found and lost again like this; I think sometimes things just go through a variety of hands over their existence.
Three more minutes. Actually, I'm going to check now, as the loaves are poufier but shorter than usual. But if I don't blog any more tonight, have a wonderful evening.
