Today, I went to the new ginormous Menards and bought a carbon monoxide/gas detector. I woke up this morning, after a night of horrible dreams that paralyzed me with fear, and thought that maybe my cat and I were slowly being poisoned by my apartment. According to the detector, I am just crazy, but maybe I’ll sleep better tonight. Well, I know I’ll sleep better because I’ll just take some Ambien before bed. I’d rather not take the drugs, but when the alternative is frightening dreams all night, for now I’m taking the pill.
I also got a new blender that was on clearance. My old blender is the one I had had since college, and while it was fine functionally, it smells like burning when I use it. Which isn’t really what one looks for in a small appliance.
Finally, I tried to make pancakes for dinner tonight. Tried and failed. I don’t know why but I’m just terrible at making pancakes. I can bake so well, but I cannot get pancakes right. They’re either undercooked or burned. We won’t even speak of my attempts at french toast in the past.
It was kind of an odd day. I hope tomorrow is less weird.

I totally suck at making pancakes. Burn them every time.

I’ll teach you sometime how to make pancakes so you know when to turn them :)
