I didn't do any writing yesterday. Basically, Thursday gave me an opportunity to start feeling really self conscious about what I'd been writing and to see all the flaws (for example, the point of view character keeps saying he's going to do things and then doing something else entirely). I think I need someone who knows Weiss Kreuz and is comfortable with smut to help me with the characterization. I want to finish this over the weekend if I can manage it-- indelicateink has posted a challenge to complete something over the weekend, and this is the most likely thing for me to do that with.

I didn't really do much with my day yesterday. I have no idea where the time went.

I did Sit and Be Fit, and I think my choice to do that regularly and to work my way up to Body Electric is a wise one. Sit and Be Fit left me tired which is something it had previously never done. I am way out of shape, and I need to do better. I only did Sit and Be Fit twice this week. Next week, I'm aiming for three times (Monday is unlikely due to having extra kids in the house, but Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday ought to work).

After Cordelia got home (which was about five minutes before I finished Sit and Be Fit), I made cookies while she spent about forty minutes playing Just Dance. So far she's taking it seriously as something she needs to do every day which pleases me. She needs some sort of exercise regularly now that she's not doing sports (even while she was doing sports, she likely needed more exercise-- Sports were twice a week).

The cookies didn't come out very well. I used a cookie recipe for white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies but baked it as bars. The recipe didn't offer any tips for doing that, so I had to guess at how long to bake it. I went with half an hour because I thought I remembered regular chocolate chip bars taking that long. Half an hour turned out to be way too long. The bars didn't burn, but they are really, really crunchy. They were almost impossible to cut. Scott got them out of the pan in one giant piece and hacked away at it until we had serving sized pieces.

Scott had to work 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. this morning. He's really hoping not to have to do it again for a while. Apparently, third shift has hired a new person, so it may not be necessary. It depends on if the new person stays and if they can do the job.

Scott did the grocery shopping on the way home from work, but for some reason, he didn't buy any apples or bananas. Normally, for breakfast, I eat an apple or a banana, and we're completely out (well, we have three bananas that are too ripe for me to eat. Those are going to be banana bread in a few days. It takes two bananas per loaf of bread, so I'll have to figure out something else to use instead of a fourth banana, maybe applesauce or sweet potato). I didn't realize that until after I took my omeprozole, and I have to eat something half an hour after I take that, so I wasn't at all pleased. I had a single serving cup of applesauce which somehow doesn't seem adequate. I'm not sure what to supplement it with. We don't really have anything easy and healthy that isn't already earmarked for lunch or dinner.

Go Anne! Exercise! Rah!!!!!

You can freeze overripe bananas if you have extras, and then defrost them to put into banana bread. I also like to freeze ripe (not overripe, just freckle-y) bananas, break into chunks, and then put in the food processor to make a healthy "ice cream". I flavor it with one tablespoon of cocoa powder per banana, or a tiny pinch of cardamom, or some vanilla extract, or some fruit such as strawberries. It's the consistency of soft serve when it is freshly blended, and then it hardens more in the freezer. For whatever that's worth.

I'm mainly afraid of sticking more things into our freezer and loosing track of them. We have no idea what's lurking in the depths of our freezer.
