bread

My monitor started messing up. Everything got too bright with weird lines running through it. This morning it happened--Erik hit it, and the problem went away.

Today it was rainy. I didn't go out except to do the laundry and check the mail. I got fantastic mail from Australia and England.

I thought about calling my friend J. I found out how to do it (the codes to dial) and what the time difference is--she lives in Victoria. I couldn't find her phone number--she told it to me, but I don't know where that paper is right now--so I looked it up online, found it. I almost called her, but I was too shy, and I got distracted by a strange unwanted email and my bread.

I baked bread in my bread machine today. I had the same problem I always do--it didn't rise very well. I think I need new yeast. I hadn't used my bread machine in several years, and I'm not sure whether to try again or freecycle it.

I read about a book about a guy who decided to get his possessions down to 100. That's 100 items to own. The idea of it inspires me.
