Been battling a stomach virus for a couple days now.  Made cornbread this afternoon, it's the only thing I can handle looking at, smelling, or eating.

But the Phillies are on TV, and that helps.

I had an anxiety-inducing medical test done today, so I took the day off and did some stuff to help myself relax.  Exercised, did some writing, and made two loaves of wheat bread.  It turned out PERFECTLY.  This bread thing has really become a form of inspiration, satisfaction, and meditation for me.

Made a honey-mustard oat bread today.  It ended up fine, though at every step of the process I was certain I'd ruined it.  But it tastes yummy, is easily cut into slices, not dry or crumbly, and even my husband says it's good.

Of course, I learned a lot during the process and will do even better the next time.  Turns out the learning curve for bread is pretty steep.
