It’s a boring day here. B has speech at 3 but that’s all that’s on our agenda. I’m really sick of winter. It’s been so cold and I’m running out of indoor activities to keep my kids entertained. I really wish they were interested in movies.
I had plans to go to an indoor play place nearby this morning but we got so much ice overnight. My H said the driveway is super slick and his drive in was slippery. So I feel like we are stuck in the house today.

H has a temp of 102 and the nastiest shit is coming out of his ear. I shouldn’t be surprised with how snotty he’s been but fuck. He could have done without an ear infection on top of the flu.

Hey hey hey. Sitting in the car waiting for the groceries I forgot to order on Tuesday. Had a staff meeting early this AM and then took M to her music class. Her schedule is busier than mine.
H is OOT tonight and I’m waffling between sitting and doing nothing or taking advantage of the peace and quiet to bust out some work.

Hey.. work is busy and stupid. People who had no urgency for the issue that I was dealing with last month are suddenly on top of me about fixing it. Like yea ok.. I'm working on it. Go away.
Nothing super exciting going on today. H has a late meeting so I'll probably eat dinner at my parents.
Also I almost cried when I work up this morning and realized it was only Thursday. Such a slow week.

It's 50 degrees today. We're supposed to get thunderstorms and strong wind tonight then possible negative wind chills and snow tomorrow. Freaking weather, I swear.

I picked up another shift today. So that's fun. I also figured out why I've been so irritable. I got the equivalent to my period today (my 4th or 5th one so definitely wasn't expecting it).

I always do an audible, “ohhhhhh,” when that happens to me. Even when tracking my cycles I sometimes cannot figure out why I can’t get myself right until my period comes. I hate it.

We’re supposed to go from 70 on Friday to low 30’s on Saturday. It’s been in the 50s all week which it really strange and abnormal for February. I don’t know how to dress anymore.

danib and elle do either of you have a gluten free muffin recipe, any kind, that seems to work out well for you? My banana muffins have been so so, but not great. I would like to start making a batch of different kinds every week, but want them to be edible.

Didn’t even think that it might have been the GF flour making it weird. But makes sense because I used to make banana muffins all the time with no issues.

Yeah baking with gf flour can be tricky, especially when you have to add xanthan gum, you have to get it all just right. The stuff I linked to takes out all of the guess work.

I would like to start making a batch of different kinds every week, but want them to be edible. I just use an All Purpose GF Flour Mix (usually Presidents Choice from Dominion, but have used others) and substitute right into my usual recipes. Only difference is I find the bake time can be a little off so I just keep an eye to it and give it a few extra minutes if needed.

I also like Pillsbury flour and have heard great things about Jules brand. Namaste is gross IMO and I wasn't a big fan of Bob red Mills. What brand were you using? It definitely makes a difference.

My garage door is broken and I can only close it from the inside while holding down the buttons. It's like the sensors think there is a person in the way. DH can't figure out how to fix it.
It's been raining all day and we have some icy slush roads happening. Thursdays we drive all around town so it's been fun.
I'm cranky from FB fights and bad weather.

Bob Red Mills. And it was so expensive. My grocery store does have the Pillsbury though! I didn’t want to keep buying and trying and ending up with poop muffins. But, I’m a bit more hopeful now. FWIW they’re gluten and dairy free so maybe the subbing of dairy items is also hurting the end result a bit as well.

I'll pop back with the recipe if you want, but it's a "regular" recipe I just subbed my all purpose gf flour and vegan butter.

Don’t go searching for it just for my sake.

I was not calm. I've been very mad and probably need to step away. It's just so personal. I cannot believe that after you and others shared stories that they can continue to say what they are saying.

The ignorance is shocking to me. I usually try not to engage but I’ve been biting my tongue hard.

Whenever you think of it though. Don’t go searching for it just for my sake. 2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup sugar (I actually do half cup sugar and half cup ground flax seed) 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup (vegan) butter 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 bananas Choc chips/nuts if desired Recipe calls to bak at 350 for 1 hour if you're doing a loaf, obviously much shorter for muffins. I don't watch the clock though personally.

I cannot believe that after you and others shared stories that they can continue to say what they are saying. It’s worse than reasoning with a brick wall. I really don’t think anyone is actually reading to try and understand as soon as they see that it’s a different viewpoint than yours/ours/mine. I think, like many things in this world, that if more people minded their own business and bodies there would be a lot more peace to go around.
