The holiday falling in the middle of the week has me totally messed up. It feels like it's Friday or even Saturday but I still have half a week to go it seems like. Anyway it's not too bad except for the weather so inclement that I don't have any reason to go out so I'm not going out. Everything I need is here at the apartment so I'm happy as a clam long as I've got my internet connection and big screen. The only thing I would go out for right now is if my barber happens to show up at her shop tomorrow. I would be surprised if she does but I need to start looking seriously at getting my hair is cut cuz I'm getting kind of bushy and no one likes a bushy mark.
I did something today that I've been talking about doing for some time but have just not gotten around to it and that was to make oatmeal cookies. It was sort of a half-hearted attempt for a number of reasons the foremost reason being the brown sugar that I found was hard as a rock. I know I have another bag of brown sugar somewhere in the apartment that's a lot newer than that one it would actually be soft and be very usable for cookies. But I pounded and thrashed the bag of brown sugar and that helped a little bit I also threw the brown sugar into the microwave nuked it for a couple minutes which didn't do as much as I thought was going to I thought it might make it softer but it didn't I got enough brown sugar out I think to do with the basic job I got 3/4 of a cup and I think that's what it called for it was a weird recipe that I had a very simple one. That's okay I don't mind simple when it comes to cookies maybe if they're not good enough I won't eat very many of them which means I will not gain any extra weight that I don't need. I was surprised that the cookie dough actually went together and I probably got enough dough to make at least a dozen of these hard little oatmeal hockey pucks. I also put in nuts which I hope we're not Rancid you know walnuts that I haven't used in years. I also opened up a box of raisins and added them to the mix. No eggs or anything which I thought was kind of weird but I went with what the recipe said and it came out with something that look kind of like cookies they're pretty weird very unsweet but perhaps that's best like I said the amount that I eat that's for sure. So I made another mess in the kitchen hopefully Melissa will be around tomorrow and hopefully she'll tidy up a little bit. I'm also going through a major clean out of the refrigerator right now. Between the garbage and the disposal I've gotten rid of most of the evidence that I had some kind of a Thanksgiving dinner stuffed in the refrigerator somewhere. So it was kind of a maintenance day today but that's good I got my 60 Minutes in on the arm bike and I had the breakfast leftovers that came over with the kids yesterday during the Christmas visit it was a pretty good day after
