yikes

 Every journey begins with a step

    Or a mis-step in my case.

    I am putting a thing together in the garage.  (Top Secret!!!!)

    Friend Sheri came over to help, and Julia and Emily would have come too but I just did not feel good.  We finished up about 2:30 and I was just wiped.  Tired.  Head felt stuffed.  So I called it quits and. told the girls not to come.

    The directions were not exactly clear.  We ended up having to take part of it apart and starting that part over.  Too many parts in one sentence. 

    But Sheri reasoned it out.  At that point I was just trying to stay upright.

    Two nights ago I made tapioca pudding for the first time.

    I used the Minute Tapioca mix and almost followed the directions.

    The directions say to stir continuously until the pudding boils while stirring.  I stopped stirring, , saw it was boiling, and poured it into a bowl.

    After it cooled it was really runny, and the bottom was really thick.  I guess stirring until it boils is kind of important.  I will do better next time.

    It still tastes like tapioca, just really thin and lumpy.

    Even though it is April, I put the AC on last night.  It was 77 in the house and just uncomfortable.  Unfortunately I set the AC wrong.  I put it at 68 and it got really chilly in the house.

    I turned it off tonight.

    A benefit of not feeling well was washing the Cubs win number 9 in a row and a second series sweep!!

    Hopefully this cold is winding down.....it has been a week,.  Someone suggested I go to Convenient Care, but I don't think they can do anything except tell me to drink liquids and rest.

    I am doing that already.

Peace and Love
