Sardine of Bliss

[ismo]

I should have edited my last post to add: as I was getting ready for bed, I noticed it was snowing again. In the morning, it was still piled up on roofs, in corners, and shaded spaces. It disappeared over the course of the day, but the weather never became inviting in any way. My project of the day was making hot cross buns. Lately, I've been warming the oven a bit and putting things in there to rise. This worked really well with the buns. They are nice and puffy inside, with a good crust outside. And, of course, a little frosting on top. I'm very worried because I'm going to run out of yeast soon. I have enough for a couple more things, and then I'll have to try sourdough, I guess. Or stick to biscuits. I hate that feeling that I won't be able to get things that I need. I realize the first world nature of it all, and the relative triviality of my wants compared to things one actually needs, and blah blah blah, but I still don't like it. There are bad feelings associated with potential scarcity, and I'm tired of fighting them off.

Meh. Just tired of this whole thing. In which I'm sure I am not unique. There are too many stupid things screaming for my attention, and nothing enrages a nerd like bad information. I need to step away. FAR away. Tomorrow I'll try to take a screen vacation.

Had some virtual communication with some of the kids. Worked on my story. I'll try to pluck up my spirits tomorrow.
