May Day!
No, not that kind of mayday, just your regular first of May, Day. Dangit, I missed my second 100-wam take by .7%! I needed 95% accuracy, and I nearly had it with 94.3% accuracy. This week for sure. I was too focused on the 110's and thus had those adrenaline jitters afterwards. Ugh, hate those.
Spent time with the in-laws this weekend, and the in-laws of in-laws. Wow, that's removed. First we went to Delavan to assist with flooring in their house--all of the carpet in the place has been replaced with some lovely wood laminate flooring. Now Mom wants to paint. Wait, wouldn't it have been better to paint before the new floor went down? Oh well, at least the walls are all exposed at this point. Then on Sunday, we went up to Mauston to spend time with Liz and Todd (sister- and brother-in-law) and his parents and brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews, and I think an uncle of his too. Since it was sort of a reunion for them, Jim took the camera and shot some nice group photos of them, and I bet some good casual shots too. Those are often his best.
We got delightfully "lost" on our way out of Mauston. Took some country roads south-ish and found gorgeous hills and some fun dirt roads. Bust out mah dirt bike on that. The Gazetteer was so not helpful here--many of the roads we saw were not on the map, as far as I could tell. Didn't know we had so much po-dunk in Wisconsin, but I guess I don't get out of the city much.
What else...school's almost done for the semester, which may mean that my job may be done too. Working up nerve to talk to the boss-man of sorts, to find out if there's some other position I could apply for at school that doesn't require me in the mornings like the baking does. It makes me half-sad to think of not baking every day. It doesn't kill me to know that certain annoyances will go away. But there's that whole amnesia about pain thing. I'd really like to be able to work part time, doing something, and it would be so ideal to keep the flex benefits I have now. I think work does me good and keeps me on schedule, disciplined with my time. Blogging, on the other hand, makes me late for my date with my steno machine. I know I'll find some way to be productive, might have to get creative.
Thanks for reading!

Seriously. I love it so much.
My dad gave me an Illinois edition on the day I moved out. I lost it a couple years ago, but got another one second-hand last summer at the library book sale. Still don't have a Wisconsin edition yet. And I completely agree on getting delightfully lost. I love that so much, too.
I keep putting off coming to see you at the bakery. When is my absolute deadline?
