I'll be a prayin and a sippin!(coffee, that is)
I'll be praying!
:-)
Honestly, I've studied and all, so at this point all I can really do is pray. I've read the same set of slides three times this morning, I don't think reading them a fourth time will help.
Yeah, don't overstudy. It doesn't help.
I always try to relax, the last hour before the test.
Of course, I just discovered a computer with its case mysteriously askew and the memory unseated, in a classroom that exits onto the parking lot... memory is still there, but it bugs me. Someone was playing with it.
Locks. They are breakable, but tend to discourage casual thieves. We have 'em on all computers in public areas.
I want to go home. I'm all upset about the cats now. I should have done something about this long ago, but I hoped the problem would just go away. I'm bad about doing that.
I'll have a cup of decaf with you!
Matthew made a batch of fudge. EASY fudge. His math curriculum had the recipe and his satelite teacher made it during class so he had to have some! He made it all himself except the stove part and pouring the hot fudge into the dish.
Clare might like it...
On the stove, melt 6 T of butter till just melted. Add
1lb of powdered sugar
1/4 C cocoa powder
1/4 C milk
1/4 t. salt
Warm till really smooth and runny, stirring constantly, then add a tsp of vanilla, stir it in good, then pour into a buttered 8x8 dish. Chill in the fridge.
The boys ate the stuff off the spoon and pan right away!
Aww... but there's also a chance they're just sick, right? Since both of them have it? Try hard not to worry until you've seen the vet.
I wish it were just that...but the main reason I called this time is because I noticed Halvah's eye was suddenly starting to look almost opaque. I'm afraid it's already too late to fix it.
I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if she did lose some vision, but it'd be my fault, which really bothers me. I'm supposed to be her caretaker, and I've let her down.
One of my family's cats is mostly blind, but she still gets around fine - won't jump on anything - and really doesn't seem to be too bothered.
Considering all that's on your plate right now, please don't be too hard on yourself for not being ahead of the curve on everything.
I figure Clare and your hubby could just commence to eating it right out of the pot! I was mighty tempted! LOL
Halvah isn't an outside cat, so her range isn't too far, and she won't get into any trouble. Don't beat yourself up about it. It could just be a cold or virus causing the runny eyes. Don't borrow trouble!!
They, and Joseph, too! They're all chocoholics! I'll just have to settle for my sugar free chocolates!
'zactly. That's why I haven't worn my contacts for a week...
'course I'm assuming Halvah doesn't have contacts.
Oh, and I just remembered, I have some Black Cocoa Powder, that when mixed with the Dark Dutch Process Cocoa I have, would make a scrumptious dark fudge!!
I just think if it were a cold, her eye wouldn't look...lighter. Like a nearsighted older animal.
But it's true...it doesn't necessarily mean the end of all things if it DOES turn out she loses most vision in one eye. Heck...I'm realllly nearsighted in one eye, and I do OK.
I guess I'll wait to continue beating myself up until after the diagnosis...
Mmmmm!!!
This was just so extremely easy. I'm sure it's not going to taste as nice and smooth as that kind made with marshmallow creme, but it'll do in a pinch! ;-)
I just noticed your fudge recipe has no butter. Is that right?
*whimper*
I'm tryin' to be really good, what with the wedding coming up, and the fact that it's likely it'll be really tough to even maintain where I am when I'm living at home.
But I NEVER completely stop craving chocolate. Just ain't gonna happen...
lemme know if you find one that makes a nice smooth paste.
