I did see about caramel sugar--was it tasty? Did it add something to the dough?

Yes, it definitely has added something. I only roasted the sugar for three hours, as I wanted to go to bed. Next time maybe more.

I'm hoping the cookies turn out well: they will be Cook's Illustrated chewy oatmeal with extra ginger and a bit of orange rind. We'll see.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just got my 400th follower on Tumblr!

Of course, that's 400 followers collected over 4½ years, so probably like 90% of them are inactive by now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh what a relief -- my team member who just got a PIP just put in her notice. So her manager doesn't have to actually let her go, which seems like a kindness. The team member is great in many ways, but this job is the definition of a "bad fit."

I have a one night, at home sleep study on June 1st. Has anyone done this before? I'm already getting nervous that I won't be able to have a representative night's sleep.

Of course, the last three days I haven't had any surprise naps.

Good luck with that, Suzi.

Glad that worked out, Jesse.

I am pretty inactive, Tom, but I passively enjoy following you.

Ooh, it's Health Fair day, I get a free massage. Woohoo!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm going to be doing that soon, Suzi, but that's no help to you now, sorry.

Verdict from my new endocrinologist: my thyroid is fine, I'm not hypothyroid, no really we checked everything it's all totally normal. Next step, the sleep study, to find out if I have sleep apnea (probably) and if so get me a CPAP (ugh do not want).

CPAPs are not as bad as I thought they'd be. It only took a couple of days to get used to mine. I'm at the lowest pressure, though. Hubby's was practically a gale-force pressure, it was like getting pummeled in the face to try his.

I hope your insurance will agree to pay for the sleep study, those damned things are expensive.

My insurance supposedly covers the sleep study. We are trying to determine if I have sleep apnea or narcolepsy. I think. Maybe it is to rule out sleep apnea.
