The last few days have been bangers. Truly, I have packed even more living than normal into them. Hmm. That seems to be every day actually, but honestly, there was a lot going on.Even yesterday, my supposed day of resting ended up being a bit of an adventure. I am pretty sure it is because I made this cake. When I was a kid my mom used to make this oatmeal cake with chocolate chips in it. My gods that cake was delectable! The longer it sat, the more moist and delicious it became, so when I saw the Lazy Day Oatmeal Cake recipe yesterday morning when the mood to look up something to bake for the hubs and the boy struck me, well, I had to give it a go!

Yesterday was fantastical! Not only did I get to attend the theme park I used to be employed at as a guest with the hubs and bunch of friends for a haunted fright fest, I also somehow got myself embroiled in an interview with a local political operative and was told a tale of authoritarianism most foul.

One interesting thing about being an adult is that you don't really get to take sick days. Earlier this week my carcass decided to tap out, which was really rather inconvenient and beyond annoying. Many times throughout the year, and especially during the fall and winter, I get flares. I don't know about ya'll, but one really needs one's cognitive function to function, so when a person is thinking-impaired by an autoimmune attack flair, it's sorta not helpful.

The task juxtaposition that occurs during my days is often humorous, well, to me it is. I mean, today I had college coursework to accomplish, bread to shape and bake, turkey stock to craft, garlic to peel and dehydrate, and miscellaneous Mom tasks to do.

Anyone who is moderately acquainted with me knows that I am more than a bit, well, er, frugal.We weren't flush with cash when I was growing up, and I had parents and grandparents who taught me the value of using what ya got, so the mindset kinda stuck with me.

It is finished! YAY! Why am I so Kat-lated you might be wondering? Well my dear frens, the garlic is all planted! SQUEE MCGEE!All 1000 cloves of it!That's about ten pounds of seed garlic, and what's even cooler is that I grew about half of that.
