mamajoanI ended up accomplishing two more things from my to-do list: baking the pumpkin bread and finishing the "Grave" transcript (YAY!).
I couldn't bake the cookies, of course, because I only had two eggs and used them for the pumpkin bread. Meanwhile the bread called for shortening rather than butter, so I still have two sticks of butter. I don't want to buy a whole nother 6- or 8-pack of eggs just to bake the cookies. Hmm.
I put in almost double the amount of cinnamon and cloves that the recipe called for, and yet, the pumpkin bread still isn't spicy enough for my taste. Drat. I almost put in nutmeg too, but decided against it, dunno why. I love nutmeg. Apparently my loaf pan is a bit too small, because the bread puffed WAY up over the top, and the very top of the bread didn't cook all the way through, but the edges were getting very dark so I had to take it out. It's still pretty good; after it cools completely I'll see whether the top part is okay or should be thrown out.
I also cleaned up my recycling in preparation for taking it out with tonight's trash. Man, was it a mess. Now you can actually see the floor next to the closet.
I'm psyched about having finished "Grave," if only for the psychological closure of Season 6. Of course, there are now three S7 episodes to do, with another one airing in two days, *plus* chorus rehearsals are gonna start up. Sigh. So I'm still pretty far behind, and there aren't shooting scripts up for me to work from. Alas.
And yet, every time I think "I could stop transcribing and no one would know," I can't bring myself to actually do it. You'd think that I, like, enjoyed it or something.
I need to not make life-altering decisions during low-blood-sugar moments. Another item for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
