We have been doing too much baking here lately. DD and I are working on a sourdough starter, too, since we are home all the time. Tonight we made a small batch of chocolate chip mini muffins and they are all gone now.

My DH has been making sourdough bread/pizza/biscuits during our stay at home time. Between his sourdough and my DD baking, we might be unrecognizable when this is all over!

My dog adoption fell through. They decided the dogs shouldn't go to a home with a cat.

Can they not do a trial period to see if they get along? That’s a bummer, I’m sorry.

All roads lead to...the beach? I wasn't planning on heading to the A1A this morning, but a sudden rain storm while I was riding caused a change in plans -- I thought why not? It might be pretty and I was already soaked to the bone, so nothing to lose. I am glad that I went, but I inadvertently rode a total of 30 miles, which is more than I usually do on a weekday.

I like the picture and thought it might be worth sharing.

Foe once I'm glad to be working from home though to be honest I'd rather not have to work. I have issues with the crystals in my left ear getting loose and last week I hit my head hard cause I inadvertently stuck it too far in the fridge last week when getting something out. I knew it'd end up causing problems at some point. Sat up this morning and the room started spinning so that was fun. I know how to deal with it and do the epley manuever to put them back and took my meclizine/dramamine but it still sucks. But being home means no driving to worry about and I can work and move as slowly as I want.

In other news I used my loft gc last night, had a new sale I was happy with and they'd added some new shorts. Did spend more than my gc but it went to my msr, yay. Hopefully it all fits. Also used some of my gap\banana gc at old navy for some tanks and flip flops for mom. Hoping the tank tops fit, their sizes are so weird compared to the others. But they had the same henley style tank as gap but for a price I liked more.

Dh and I placed another shipt order with target. Every single time slot for today and tomorrow were available. We ended up doing tomorrow morning in case we think of more things to add.

Yuck, I also suffer from this, my head spins slightly every time I turn over in bed, and nothing fixes it. It's been awhile since I had full on vertigo, knock on wood, I totally feel your pain!!!

Quick question... I usually never buy anything at Staples, but am I correct that CIP gives extra points? or is there a better card to use? I need a shredder.

Yes, correct.

ETA--sorry, @DisneyMandC is correct. It's CIC, not CIP.

I immediately thought of Lain (and the way he tracks everything), and then Lain again about Amex.

I hope he's okay, because we haven't heard much from him lately

I just did a search and it's 3 weeks since @Lain posted. @Lain - if you are out there, let us know that you and your family are okay.

CIC is 5x at office supply stores. CIP does not give anything extra.

 

[punkin]

Yes, correct.

Thank you.

They never got back to me. I finally managed to get through to them on the phone today (gasp) and got it cancelled.

I bought a sourdough starter on etsy - said the old ones are the best, blah blah blah - and it has totally failed. Nothing I do gets it to "start" - feed it, temperature, change to bottled water. I'm going to make pancakes with it and just stick to normal bread.

Well, I’ll officially start induction Sunday night if he doesn’t come before then. I’m crossing my fingers he comes on his own though!

I was very worried about being induced but I ended up with 4 inductions with no problems. Best of luck and hope he comes on his own!!!

Really? I don't have a CIC. OK. I did it on CIP. We shall see.

Oops, correct. Sorry! Will edit my post.

Make your own. I had a lovely rye starter, which I threw out for Passover, but I am currently 3 days into making a new one. I'm making this one out of regular all purpose (unbleached) flour. So far so good. It should be ready to use by Friday.

Also bought some Teff flour (when I couldn't find anything else). I will be trying my hand at making Injera. This is currently fermenting right next to the starter.

I'm going through this right now as well. I have BPV and can't sit up in the morning without waiting for the spinning to stop. For me it's left side and probably connected to an inner ear condition. I've had several ear infections in the last couple of years.
This is one of the reasons I don't do a lot of rides at WDW.

The sourdough starter thing sounds too complicated. I can keep dogs and kids alive. Not so good with plants. Sourdough starter probably wouldn't do so well either! Glad I have yeast for my bagel making

Just keeping track of what I have going on for cancels/refunds.

Cancelled AA flights to NY-no point refund, (website said to call when ready to rebook)
Have not cancelled AA hotel, it says to call in and I'm not

Credit Card news. Nothing going on for us right now.

Just curious - why did you state "no point refund" for the AA flights? Did you book with points? If so, and the flight was eligible, then you should be able to get your points redeposited. They don't do it automatically and yes, they tell you to call when you are ready to rebook - but I have cancelled 2 separate return trips with AA and sent a DM via Twitter to ask them to redeposit my miles. In each case they have responded within 2 hours and the miles were back in my account. The credit card credit for taxes came through a few days later.

Mine is left side too. I use the patch and as long as I am not in full blown BPV episode, that works and I can ride. Going to the UK did me in good though LOL, a 11 hour plane flight, followed by a one hour train ride from Heathrow to London, then 2 1/2 hour train ride to Lincoln. The multiple 2-4 hour train rides every two days...not good LOL. I was mostly ok, except the one morning I fell into the hallway wall, walking to the bathroom in the hotel. I used the patch for that entire trip.
