Today I decide to be wealthy.
The sixty days are up, but I'll go on.
Today was busy.
I got started on Park and Recreation application.
I baked up the cookie dough I'd made last night, and delivered three dozen cookies to a friend to take in to the blood drive, and I went to the school, taking 2 two dozen cookies there. I told the staff I'd been there so often, I figured it was my turn to contribute. They were happy to have them, as was one of the custodians, who declared them to be delicious. (Cookie recipe is below.)
I worked at the school from 11:15 to 3:00. It was uneventful, which was very nice, and afterwards I went to the blood drive and donated blood, and over heard more praise for my cookies. (My blood pressure was 150/98. Not good.)
I went to the doctor's office, and saw Dr. K and Roxie, his nurse, both who've been with us since after my oldst was born. I hadn't been there for a while, and when I was, I hadn't seen either of them. Roxie and I visited for a bit, and then I went shopping at a couple of thrift stores, and didn't buy the velour shirt. Four dollars is four dollars. I may go back and get it tomorrow.
Home, where my husband fixed dinner, and then to a neighborhood association meeting, where there were three board members and only four members. I took the minutes. Got a lot of ideas for newsletter articles.
I should just mark out an hour a day and write. Thank you letters, newsletters, articles, the books. Nothing but production.
And an hour for job hunting/applications.
And an hour for housework, so I can find my way around and get ready for the next major employment adventure. (Speaking of which, I need to talk to Tina about the air freshener thing, explain why I'm not going to pursue it.)
And make sure I get to bed at a decent hour. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. ~ Benjamin Franklin.
Today I decide to be wealthy.
Gingerbread molasses cookies. Oven at 370 F, makes 5 dozen cookies
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1 egg
2 tablespoon vinegar
Combine
Add 5 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinammon
1 teaspoon cloves
Mix thoroughly
(I use a cookie scoop, that measures out about 1 even tablespoon at a time)
Roll ball of dough, about a tablespoon size, in a small bowl of granulated sugar, and place on ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart, about 12 balls per sheet.
Press down to 1/2 height, using bottom of drinking glass.
Bake 8 minutes, or until tops are puffy and cracked. Allow to cool 6 minutes on cookie sheet, transfer to cooling rack.
