It took me approximately 25 minutes to de-seed and cut up a five pound sugar pumpkin and get it on the stove to cook. Soon I’m going to try doing some baking with the fake butter I got at Trader Joe’s. I also found a non-dairy recipe for pumpkin pie. Still has eggs, so its not vegan, but that’s not my concern. My biggest problem is dairy. I have to re-think how I cook.

Now, I say all this. I feel better than I have in a LONG time. Months I think. I used my new insurance to finally see MY doctor and I had a nasty bladder infection. Bad enough I was told that if I started running a fever or it got worse/stayed the same after a few days of antibiotics, I was to go to the hospital. Then I got a cold as I was just getting better. BAH, bleh, yeck. The good thing, I was already on antibiotics so it prevented it from turning into sinus issues, which will then turn into bronchitis and… well yeah. Top that off with working like mad. I spent the last three days doing a whole lot of nothing.

Now I feel like baking.

On to another thing on my mind. Scrapbooking! Yup, that’s right. I have SOOO many pictures and keepsakes and interesting things that I have saved over the years that I have loads of material. It can be a pretty expensive hobby to get in to. I’d say I’ve invested around $250 in equipment over the past 2 years. This doesn’t count consumables like paper, cardstock, and stickers. However, I finally sat down and really made an effort to work put these things to use. Its terribly rewarding. I’ve gotten Jennifer V. into it as well. Right now she comes over and uses my tools, which I think is great.

Six hours later I have a pie, cookies, and soup done. Now I must sleep.
