Ginger freezes well. I tend to cut it into inch long pieces and put it in the freezer and use them as needed.

Yup, I keep my ginger in the freezer, where it's quite happy. Also, frozen ginger is pretty easy to grate.

Perkins, I'm glad you are hangover-free. I was sufficiently cranky when I woke up that I didn't run, which made the dog cranky, but I'm feeling fine now.

Ok, but what about pap smears?

I took the test that said that I have not been exposed to the virus. so I do not need to have them anymore.

It is time for for next mammogram so I will schedule one Monday. First one hurt and bruised me -- I had a bad tech the second one was not nearly as bad , I don't remember major pain

People are still on the internet. Sometimes they are wrong. Towards me. What's up with that?

Still, errands run quickly, first work call pain free and simple. So that's all good. Off the work hook for another hour or so. Hand swelling pretty much all the way down, only hurts to the touch. So, don't touch. Simple enough.

Kick back for the rest of the day.

ita, I hope your hand continues to get better. And that your workplace starts keeping holy the weekend....

I need to either strip paint or go to the pool. After running a bunch of errands this morning after market and doing a load of laundry, I'm feeling lazy

Of course, I went and stumbled and jammed my fingers, so ouch. Clumsy much? Upshot, Batman bandaid. CVS really had a paltry selection. Just neon and Spongebob. That's why I order in.

I never thought about freezing ginger- brilliant! Makes me wonder what else I can freeze. Hmmmmm. Garlic?

Freeze nutmeg. It's why I always grind my own.

Forgot to buy yeast. Darn. Will have to make jaunt after next con call. Thought I was done. Stacking up much bread ends. There will be bread pudding in my future. Nummy bread pudding. I hope I still have the recipe. I think it is in the Buffista cookbook if my files fail me.

Yeah, ginger is great in the freezer. I just read somewhere about buying and roasting garlic in bulk and freezing a head's worth per ice cube tray thingy. I thought that was brilliant.

I went to try on my new suit, and I'm not so sure. Well, they are remaking the jacket and letting out the pants in the width and the length, so it's not like there was anything to tell. The pants are narrower than I thought they would be, and than I usually wear, but I guess they looked good? We'll see!

Oh! I also went looking at Halloween costumes, and I'm pretty sure I saw the slutty pumpkin of How I Met Your Mother fame! At least, I saw a costume not in the original packaging (so no photo) that said "Pumpkin Spice," and pretty much everything in that store was the slutty version of whatever.
