Well, I haven't been on in the last few days as I was a) nervous about the new job and b) working at the new job. Needed to get the timing organized and since it's now 10PM and almost "bedtime" this is going to be short.
Sunday was our anniversary- 12 years come and gone and I still can't imagine life without Derek. It's amazing. Nothing special done as Derek was sick and having some episodes so I missed church again- but I did manage to get a huge batch of plum jelly done. Probably more like syrup, don't have any spoils jars nor have I opened/refrigerated one so I don't know how well it set. 11 and 1/2 half pints, largest yield in one batch yet. Go team!
Peach is next. The Ranier cherries still look good but are probably bad and I haven't looked at the other cherries either. Need to make bread as I'm out and payday is a week away, unless my 401K payout comes Monday. I will be so glad to see that as it will be the last vestige of my old job and I will be DONE with them. It's not so much about the money, it's about CLOSURE.
As for the new job, well, I think I will leave that off of this forum. This is not meant to vent about employment, only to let one know I am gainfully (yet temporarily) employed and this is partially responsible for the delay.
Tonight I made a lazy man's dinner (scalloped potatoes with beef chunks and corn using 2 cans of cream of mushroom) and dessert with was 3 cored apples sliced in chunks, skins on with butter, sugar, cinnamon and a bit of cornstarch, topped with granola and then topped with plum banana jam. Haven't eaten it yet but will let you know how it turned out tomorrow. Promise.
