Plague Diary: More Increments

[lydy]

- I can now touch type for brief periods of time.

- I now have two body positions in which I can sleep, which vastly reduces the amount of pain I experience upon waking.

- I still hurt a a lot, but a fair bit of that is the result of doing more with my arm.

- I resurrected Hermione yesterday afternoon, and made fry- bread.  She is looking reasonably cheerful and bubbly, after having spent almost a month in hibernation.


I might try to make bread, today, though I would need David's help for some of the bits, and we'll see if he's amenable.  

Excelsior!

Sourdough! I have found that I can abuse my starter to almost no end (forget to feed it on the counter, feed it and feed it and feed it without using it, put it in the fridge for weeks, etc.) and it still works fine, at least for my standards.

Two sleeping positions is good. That's about all I use anyhow.

Yes, Hermione has also been incredibly resilient in the face of all sorts of irregularities on my part. I have hopes.

Huzzah increments!

Oh, that's so great! All hail Hermione! I hope David is amenable.

I remember from when I fell and cracked a rib that having exactly one possible sleeping position was basically HELL, so I'm very glad to hear that you have an alternative now.

I too am on tenterhooks re: the bread.

[lydy]

I mixed up the dough last night. Kneading one-handed was an experience. The dough is not as smooth as I would prefer, but well within the range that most people find acceptable for sourdough, if I understand the videos I have watched correctly. David has washed up all the bowls, and agreed to do the bits involving the hot oven. The bread is to go in the oven in about an hour, and we will see! I am very excited.

Slow and steady wins the race. Good luck and keep going, L.
