Deep Freeze in Houston
Jan. 16th, 2018 04:33 pmFrozen here. Amazing how everyone cancels everything and the hospital goes on Disaster code for a dusting of snow and a bit of ice. This would never happen in NY. Thankfully it's my day off and I am not going in. I spend too much time at the hospital anyway. Garbage guys haven't even come around to pick up the garbage, and the bank emailed me to let me know they would be closed. Sheesh! Oswego only has 132" for the year so far. Houston has 1-2".
It's a good day for chicken pot pie, and as soon as I can get the chicken thawed out I'm gonna work on that. And crescent rolls. Yum.
Rye bread from last night didn't come out so well. I think the milk was too hot when I added it to the starter and it killed the yeast. Bad luck, will have to try again.
Managed to mostly finish off Chapter 2 of Cover Band, still floating around from 2017. Uugh, I don't like it. The 2nd last section is so forced it's horrible. Might have to pull it and re-do. Ending still needs a little tweaking. I've struggled with this fic for months, trying to just get the last little bits written and it's not cooperating. FicMas got in the way (another issue entirely) and now it feels very contrived. Maybe I'll give it another crack in a bit, when it's not 5am and I'm tired. Really want to get this one done I can move on to the dozen or so other half finished pieces I'm 'meaning to get to' for years.
