Blessings

A small raise is in next week's pay check, and I was just able to see my pay stub online. Heavenly Father has (always) been very good to me. Now if I can just exercise a bit more financial restraint....

Who Knew?

I just read the first few items I posted over six years ago. Some make me cringe, but I think it would be fun to read back over everything--I've never done that. One of my first posts was, interestingly, a bit of foreshadowing: What's an Agar Plate?

I was reading Emerging Infectious Diseases then (I'm sure I Googled something or used a library database to find that one article) and now I'm reading an epidemiology textbook to prepare for the first semester of public health classes!

Stay Off the Road!

Today's Question

Is the sourdough starter still alive?

I've been thinking about making whole wheat sourdough bread, and finally got up the energy to try it tomorrow. I realized, however, that the starter is surely hanging on by only a spore, and needs to be fattened up before I make bread. Sorry little starter, for being so neglectful. Food is on the way!

Close Call

I realized today that I've been driving for the last week without my driver's license with me--I left it in my tote bag after I traveled by air last Saturday. Thank goodness the police had better things to do this week than pull me over!
