Little Moments of Happiness

 

It may have taken 3 weeks, but I finally have a referral to the fracture clinic. They can order an MRI if needed so I am relieved. And I got the OK to increase my pain meds which means hopefully no more sleepless nights from this injury. Its a moment of happiness because I'm finally in the right system. But geez, the bad doctor I saw at urgent care can do one. The GP was clear that even when you have a chronic condition they are supposed to treat injuries, even if they happened in a non traumatic way due to that chronic condition.

margo, glad you're finally in the system. Hopefully doesn't take too long from here.

Urgent was written all over the referral, still no call to schedule the appointment yet today.

I finished knitting at hat at the weekend. Turned out lovely!

2 of my dear friends sent me packages and they both arrived on the same day. It was amazing.

And I did a ridiculous Disney sheet mask that made me look all Hannibal Lecter.
That's Belle if you can't tell.

Wear that mask in public and I can guarantee you won't catch any virus.

People would avoid me like the... Well, like I had the 'plague'.

But, mask aside, your eyes look very Disney!  They're huge!  You could easily be a Disney princess.

Aw, well thank you! My husband does tend to 'tease' me about my giant anime/cartoon eyes. Always makes me laugh.

He's not wrong!  I bet you win every argument with him. 

The Yeast Fairy was here!

Also, I have uncovered the Yeast Fairy's secret identity.

Also, Jimbo is a fairy.   

Thank you Jimbo!  I need to sort out what I will keep my pet starter in for the long term, and then I will get it... er... started.  Yay!

(I expect we will have some great bread soon, and amazing pizza this summer!)

You are welcome! I ordered a live starter from Ebay and the guy included the dried stuff as well and I thought you might get some use out of it.

Mine is in the fridge now, waiting for me to warm it up and feed it.  I'm also looking forward to trying sourdough pizza dough.

I generally do cold-proved pizza where the dough develops in the 'fridge for 72 hours, and it's nice.  But from the pizza oven community I follow, it appears that a good sourdough has a much more developed flavour and structure than even my 72 hour cold-prove.  I'm looking forward to trying it.

Stress and disruption of my sleep cycle are migraine triggers for me (too much bright sunshine, as well, but that's scarcely a problem here!).  I don't know about you guys, but I've had a wee bit of stress lately.  And, yet, it took freaking out between 1am and 6am before I finally realized the brain-zappy headache keeping me awake was a migraine and not coronavirus.  At one point, my deranged, sleep-deprived self thought about how my husband would take it as a personal failure if I had to tell him I got sick in spite of everything we've done to avoid it, and I had to fight tears.

Needless to say, I did not have a good night's sleep.

But!!! In the grey light of this glorious almost-Spring morning, I finally recognized the migraine for what it was, and so I'm feeling fantastic!  It's not coronavirus!  We haven't failed!  As long as I don't roll my eyes around in their sockets too much, I can handle this.

Relief! 

I can only imagine the stress JFKimberly.  Hope you manage to get a bit of rest.

The sourdough experiment continues to be a big success.  It makes all the bread from the bread machine a thousand times better.  It's way more complicated than I thought to take care of the starter as for some reason you have to throw half of it away twice a day, but I just bumble through and it's been OK so far.  Tomorrow will be a proper loaf with lots of starter, left overnight in the fridge.
