daily life
i (finally) got energy-efficient bulbs for about half the apartment (the ones we use most often). they're taking a bit of getting used to - they take a while to brighten to their advertised wattage, which is kinda like lighting a gas lamp and waiting for the flame to steady. something about this appeals to me.
i'm making relatively healthy and very tasty cookies. i made my first batch of healthy homemade muffins yesterday, and they turned out amazing. time to diversify the fruit, yes indeed. recipes at the end of the post.
i have potting soil, so the plants are going to get overhauled sometime in the near future (cuttings, anyone? i have quite a variety of hard-to-kill plants). the Italy pics are slowly being named, and will be uploaded sometime in the near future, i swear. the unending pile of thank you cards has finally been dented.
the financial stuff is still a nasty little knot in my stomach, and the muscle outside my right eye has spent the last 3 days aching atrociously (not the eye, just the muscle that controls the eyelid) and causing the migraine-that-never-ends. things seem to be getting a little better on that front.
now, if only i could start writing again...
