It's cooking day! Baking some baguettes (I keep making these so I can practice my shaping), some sandwich bread and making a chicken and white bean soup.

Aggie got super brave and decided to jump on top of the shower.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own

My thyroid is in agony. However today i overcame my anxiety and wore my new techgoth outfit outside when i want for a small affair at center of the tower. I was anxious as hell but it felt good to look cool and extraordinary. The more i do it the more i will feel confident

Mother's cat is home now and I had a short talk with mom about maybe the cat should come over for one week out of months mom is not traveling because the cat routinely does better, eats more, etc, when here. Her husband would love if the cat just moved here but absolutely not.

But as the cat is a messy little angel, time to clean.

Sheets removed and washed with the things used to clean husband's cpap. Try to wash the blanket but if too big, dry cleaners. Vacuum. Empty cat litter holder. Clean all cat water bowls including electric fountain.

I'd start the apple butter today but the crockpot needs washing so I guess emptying and washing that.
