Bread dough for soft fluffy rolls has gone through its first kneading, and now it's all covered and set in the grow room to --well- grow lol.

Rise, proof, grow... it all works.

These rolls were a hit at Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping this batch turns out well.

Bitterly cold, fingers are not happy. Wearing gloves isn't an option, even fingerless, because my palms start to itch and everything else joins in.

Oh well!

Glad we're not having a big get together tomorrow, we're all still under the weather, and running on low spoons. Whatever bug Sam brought in from the hospital is still working it's way through the family.

I had 34 titles used by Meta, according to the records provided.

Message through the 'next door' app from the power company. "It's all fixed"

Three minutes later - power outage number 7...

6 power outages so far...

Fun.

First 'winter storm' and the combination of high winds with ice and snow, have already resulted in the power going out twice.

This is going to be...interesting.

Rough day, there's a bug in the household, coughing, sneezing, sinus pressure, sore throats. Some also have stomach issues. Nothing horrible on its own, but combined it's not fun.
And Ayra got out again, but was found quickly this time.

It's been one of those days where I've had trouble focusing for more than a few minutes at a time. So when those minutes showed up, I used them and got the words down.

Sometimes it can be a slog.

Sam's very sore, but they've given him pain meds and muscle relaxants to help his body have a chance to heal. With it being on the ribs every breath is painful.
