Productive Teoh

I did not get everything accomplished today that I wanted, but enough to make me happy :)

Had some quality coffee and book time this morning afternoon. Then went for a run in the rain, only one other nutcase was on the loop with me, but it actually was not bad. My cap kept the water out of my face. My bandanna kept my ears warmish, and my windstopper jacket did a fair job of stopping water as well. My base layer was actually pretty dry when i got home. Five miles in a little under an hour - not great, but not bad. I've been doing the treadmill thing for a while, but really need to get out at least once a week. The challenge is it needs to be before dark because the loop I use is pretty deserted after dark, unlike central park. Which is why I decided to do it today rain or shine.

Finished making the shorts I started last week, so i have completed my goal of making something wearable by the end of the year! (Though they will not be worn outside the house.)

Made cookies for book club tomorrow, and sweet potato mash for dinner.

So all in all a productive day :)





Ronon Bear is suspicious of the shorts

As I sit here fighting off insomnia... again, I am wondering if there is a difference in running on the treadmill and running outside? (edit...besides the weather of course.)
I think the shorts are cute as is Ronon bear (who needs to come visit Daniel bear at my house)
The cookies and the mash look enticing and yummy.
I made pumpkin bread today. My SIL bought an entire stand of pumpkins from Sprouts the day before Halloween for 20.00 and my mom and I cut about 30 of them up cooked them and froze the meat and have used it for various projects like pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, cookies, I used it for soup which was just lovely. My first try at this delight too. I, unfortunately, ruined all of the seeds by leaving them outside. I intended to dry them for a day and they got rained on and bloated and mossy/moldy. I was so upset. I love pumpkin seeds to munch on.
I love autumn foods.
