Day 37

I am so glad I am done! It has been a very long day and I have just finished up with my ten things. I am still happy I am doing them I am just a  little wiped out today and a couple of my ten things turned into way more than ten minutes.

I started my ten things off with practicing the piano. I am still enjoying it. I practiced my Spanish today and memorized two  more words. I read my books and I spent some time on my plants  I am still working on algebra and it really is making sense.I decided to make home made noodles out of my fat free Italian cookbook. It has been at least twelve years since I have made noodles. I added garlic, basil, and parsley to my dough. I forgot how much work it is as I was rolling out my dough that felt like leather. While I was rolling it I started thinking about women with lots of children who use to make all their food by scratch. I could not imagine rolling noodles for a dozen children. That would have to be a special occasion dish. I think the children worked harder back then to help out the family more than they do now. That would be a good punishment for children fighting with each other. you could threaten them with noodle rolling. Maybe I will make some chicken soup with my noodles.

Mathew and I finished our gingerbread house tonight. I think next year we are going to try to make one by scratch. It would be fun to make one that looks like a castle. I happened to look online tonight for wooden calendars with drawers. I found some but they were all for Christmas. I want to find one for any month. I tried another new recipe tonight. It was sugared oranges. it is basically orange sorbet. It took a lot of work scooping out the inside of all those oranges. I don't know what I was thinking trying two new time consuming things when I was tired. It was fun though. I read part of Ken's novel tonight that he is working on. I loved it!

  Well, I should sleep good tonight. I hope :) The doctor prescribed me a new antihistamine for my ears and when I take it before bed I have weird nightmares. Last night in one of my dreams I was walking down a hall that kept closing in . I was headed towards my friend Cathy and this one year old girl that had long hair to the floor like cousin It. I had just about reached her when I heard this horrible growling sound I could not tell if it was coming from behind me or if it was me. I thought I became demon possessed and I woke up and was freaked out. As I got up and walked across the room I heard a  really loud snore. It was Ken ! It sounded just like the sound in my dream. He snored so loud it became part of my dream and then woke me up.

I look forward to my ten things tomorrow. I will make reasonable choices that will stay in my ten minute limit. At least that is the plan anyway.


Because he loves me ," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.  Psalm 91: 14-16
