Kitchen: still clean! As predicted, cleaning the kitchen made me feel less like I was slowly going crazy. It also makes me want to cook, and to that end, last night I made broccoli soup, and right now I'm baking whole wheat bread. After this? Quite possibly, there will be black beans in the slow cooker, and maybe this time I won't make the n00b error of putting lemon juice in BEFORE cooking (the beans won't soften in the presence of acid).
Self-review document: working on it still makes me hunch my shoulders up around my ears, but I'm working on it. 2 paragraphs have been written today. I'll give it a good try and then go do something silly.
So apparently the world was _not_ actually falling apart the way it felt like it was, yesterday. At least it looks like I will make it until Tuesday....
The smell of whole wheat bread helps too. So does fresh snow, which looks really really pretty outside!
ETA: The hollow thump of a fresh hot loaf of bread helps SO MUCH. I may start doing this more often!
