happy: had a training this morning bright and early at work. every few weeks all the wellness counselors get to come, eat breakfast, and hear brilliance and the latest research from top natural health company reps. all before cate even wakes up for school- it is my fave part of my job. today was ayurvedic and chinese herbs- i was SO inspired by what we talked about. i lost track of time.
frustrating: expected cate to get ready for school in five minutes when i was late getting home. that, of course, could not happen and i found myself being waaay too short with her. (for something that was my fault). i hate that and i've felt bad about it all day.
happy: the rain begins!! hail! thunder and lightening! i thought it would be a perfect morning to make some bread.
frustrating: apparantly the whisper mill is missing a very important piece and upon turning it on flour shot out like it was in a wheat grinding canon. there was literally a half inch of flour covering the ENTIRE kitchen. it took two hours to clean.
happy: it's now time to pick up cate, so i can say sorry and have a cozy afternoon. hopefully we've left frustrating behind for the day.
for a couple years while they are abroad, whereas i used to have to hand-crank my wheat (not so much fun and kept me from making our bread a lot). but now i am committed to never buying bread. i am so excited to master all my favorites (and am prepared for this to take lots of years). i mean, i want to get really, really good. rye, pumpernickel, sprouted grain, french, sourdough. oh especially sourdough. i really love me some sourdough. i bought this cute little old starter yesterday from old mrs. seal.
