I think I want to make lemon poppyseed pancakes or waffles tomorrow with honey butter and fresh raspberries. I have Meyer lemons, poppyseeds, raspberries and everything else I need to make this happen.

I really don't want to be defeated by sourdough bread. I have learned to make everything else. I can even make pavlova, Battenberg cake, and have my own tiramisu recipe. I can do anything with bread except sourdough. I will get this down, eventually.

Ok, I've left the sourdough starter in the fridge for a week. I'll do the usual subtract the extra starter and add fresh flour and water on Monday and reactivate it. I have a new recipe that I think will be successful and not so fussy that I lose interest or get bored by the process.

Today, I chose faded leggings and an old Joy Division shirt to wear because I'm alternately cleaning my apartment and napping with my cats. To be honest, I have great clothes that can be fun sometimes, but I'm happiest in a t shirt with weird graphics, jeans with a thick belt, and heavy boots.

I saw honeybees on my lavender today, which was exciting. I usually only see mason bees. I made the mason bees a house for their nests, and they've used it to hatch the eggs that turn into new bees. Although I need to get new clay for them so they have building materials available again.

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush? Yeah, I was really into Spiderman as a little kid. I still like the comics, movies, et al. I just no longer wish I could marry him when I grew up, like I did when I was a preschooler. 🤣

I got a delicious latte this morning with chocolate chip cookie dough syrup that is house made and gluten-free, too. I don't know how the owner who makes the syrup does this witchcraft, but her syrups are always amazing. I also went to look at the largest Empress tree in town. Gorgeous flowers.

A few years ago, I was sick and underweight from an extended hospital stay. My hair fell out due to malnutrition and a powerful antibiotic to treat MRSA. I was down to 88 lbs. I'm 5'4"with a more muscular build so I should be around 130 or so. Here's a comparison with me in 2022 vs. me today:

Added citric acid and a sprinkling of instant yeast to get the starter where it needs to be to bake with tomorrow evening. I discarded the first loaf after sampling it because I couldn't make it work for anything.

The sourdough bread was fine but not as sour as I wanted it to be. I did some research and I can make the starter more sour and feed it less to get the flavor that I'm looking for.

I always feel like I should learn more about the era that a historical drama or book occurs in. This is why I know all sorts of things about ancient Chinese sewer systems, 19th century funerals, and how people tried to protect themselves from contagious illnesses before vaccines and antibiotics.

I had two friends besides me think that today was Thursday instead of Monday. Maybe it was wishful thinking.

The sourdough is the fridge overnight. Baking will happen tomorrow. I hope it bakes well.

In the process of making my first loaf of no knead sourdough bread. It's a lengthy process, but it mostly requires multiple rises and folding the dough a few times after each rise.

Max finally learned how to use the new litter box with the lid on today. He's used it multiple times with no problem today. Having a nearly blind senior cat who is ultra stubborn and also really sassy made training difficult.

I'm trying to get a neighborhood garden started with one of my other neighbors so we can share produce with each other and neighbors in need.

Planted pole beans, aromas strawberries, ghost peppers and nufar basil today. I'm going a little over the top with the planting but I had so many plants live out their life cycle over the last few years that it's time for more.

I get a little sad that none of my walking apps show the real distance I walk because of my gait (I limp). It takes nearly a third of my distance off.

I have been waiting for my sourdough starter to be ready for over a week. Tonight, a few hours after the second feeding, the lid blew off and it overflowed a little with huge bubbles. After cleaning up the mess, I did its final feed before baking with it tomorrow. Let's bake some sourdough tomorrow

My revamped kitchen apothecary shelf. It now has a battery operated sun tarot card lamp and a tiny cat shelf on the top shelf.

Well, I got some chocolate and Advil delivered but they grabbed the wrong chocolate bar. Which looked like the one I wanted, except it has caramel in it, which means lactose. I'm lactose intolerant and I didn't notice until I ate a large bite. So now I'm starting to get sick a few hours later. Fun.

Severe cramps and a disability are keeping me from protesting today. But I do my part at home. I refuse to feel guilty about my decision. I have to protect myself if I'm going to fight back.

I'm treating myself to a wasabi ginger rice bowl and a fresh fruit tea with boba for dinner. I rarely eat takeout but I have a gift card so why not?

My question for today is why should we live in a society where they put the ugliest, most ignorant souls in charge. Why shouldn't we pick people who care about the planet and those who live on said planet instead? I might be disabled but I can still fight for doing the right thing. Hope you can too.

I planted all my herbs that survived, my jewel raspberry bush, a sungold tomato and a Fresno pepper. My succulents, lavender, muscat grapes, star jasmine, purple heart tradescantia and nectarine tree look really good.

Going outside in a bit to plant raspberries, orange cherry tomatoes, spicy chili peppers and herbs. I'm soaking the berry plant's roots right now.

Back to finishing my project. Sorry for the delay. I had a momentary freak out yesterday over a payment not being posted to my account and making sure my insurance was still active and my EBT money was going to get to me despite a statewide outage.

I only have a few pieces of my own art because I willingly gave it to people. Most of it is because I was critical of my own work and didn't want to see it anymore. Then, I was told my ADHD therapist to hang up a piece of artwork in my home. It's still on my wall, 4 years later. I grew fond of it.

If you're someone who can write or draw in a nice sketchbook or notebook, I envy you. I get beautiful journals and sketchbooks as gifts and because I'm someone who tries out concepts several times before doing the final piece, I feel like it's a waste if I have to scrap half the sketchbook. 🤣

Josie wanted me to lay down on the blanket with her. She meowed until I did. It's on the couch so I obliged. I did need to hang out with her. She's so happy and loves the attention.

Josie is adorable on her $3 blanket. This is the first deal I've found for the cats that was truly inexpensive since inflation first started. 🤣

Ok, so I did 4 workouts this week. It was all walking and strength training. Except today, I tried a cardio workout and completed it. I had to recover from an injury, so I was easing into it. Umm, I was able to jog today. It was short and awkward, but I did it. And I also got 5000 steps in. Yay!

Damn, I just had to take a dead lizard away from my cats and toss it out. I have no idea how it even got in but this isn't the first time this has happened. It usually happens during the summer, not during the beginning of spring because it's wet and cold.

Some woman yelled at me for using Uber to shop a few days ago. In my town, Uber comes faster, is cheaper and has more drivers. I'm disabled. It looks mild, but I'm frequently in pain. Yelling at me for using services I need is shitty. I just ignored her, which made her angrier. 😆

Doing some research so I can finish this project today. It does help that my new inhaler finally kicked in because I had a migraine yesterday, and I didn't want a repeat. Allergy season is brutal here.

Had to take a break to go get creamer. Then came home and realized I was out of coffee filters. My shipment is arriving in the mail today but was delayed for a few days. I'm a snob and buy Japanese filters from a coffee supply store because they're sturdier and bigger than the store brand ones.

Here's an artifact from my morbid history collection. Quarantines back then were incredibly strict. Antibiotics weren't discovered until the 1940s so quarantines were designed to keep the disease contained until the incubation period was over. Scarlet Fever is a form of strep now easily treatable.

I don't mind rain but when it's heavy rain plus wind? Staying inside, thanks.
