Spelling Lessons

Current developments at work are making it quite clear that I'm going to learn to spell the word "liaison" whether I want to or not. Refusing to do so will only make my life miserable.

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!

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!
