Argh, where did the day go? I was even going to run to the drugstore before bed but there’s lots of thunder and lightening, and rain. So I’ll try and pop out tomorrow between breakfast and workout.

I put a lovely burn on my right upper arm (I can’t bring myself to call it a bicep yet). I burned it Saturday night making dinner but because I was busy and it only hurt for a moment or two I ignored it. By the time I looked at it (very late Saturday night) it was blistered and peeling. So now I have the very lovely beginning of a scab about 1-1/2″ long by half an inch. There’s a mark that makes it look longer, but that’s the only problem spot. This wouldn’t be a big deal except for the swimming. I was in the water yesterday and it was fine but today I guess I was in longer and, you guessed it, the forming skin/scab came off. I need to go get something that I can cover it with in the pool so it will heal faster. I get small cuts and scrapes and they heal pretty fast but I feel if I don’t keep an eye on this I’ll be bitching about it for a while.

I’m also not sure where the day went. I got up at the usual time, made a trip to Costco, and yet don’t feel like I got much done. Okay, I made scones, hamburgers (to freeze) and meatloaf (to freeze), and took the cats to the vets. Okay, I’ve also got laundry in the dryer, but sheesh, the day is over. Tomorrow I’ll likely wait until the bulk food place is open so I can pick up a few things… on to the next breakfast item. I suspect the muffin is going to end up being the last one I make. I have to say that the oat scones were pretty filling (or I’m having an off day). I’m on a rest day, which I might usually feel a little more tempted to eat, and yet - from about 5pm onwards I’ve really just been making myself eat. So I think that recipe is a keeper. I’ll take a couple more tomorrow morning (and sometime later in the week) just to make sure that’s not a fluke.
