The baking and the running

Note: I did write an entry and post it much earlier today that wrapped up the Guster weekend. Go read it there, if you missed it and you're coming in fresh for today. 

Monday after a long travel weekend. I am so glad that I have an absolute boatload of vacation time that I can use. I took today off, as a gift to myself. So thankful I did. 

Doug's alarm went off at 8, mine at 8:30. he was already up and downstairs and I slept until 10 something. 

For most of the day I sat around happily doing nothing. At some point, I realized we had a couple bananas that really needed to be used. Two isn't enough for banana bread (I like at least 4) so I found a recipe for an apple banana muffin and made those. They were pretty great, even though I did not have any apple sauce. I used apple cider. I shredded the apples on the cheese grater, didn't even bother peeling them. Damn these are tasty! 

Then, I made a pumpkin pie. Doug had gotten a nice container of whipping cream from the fancy dairy, so I was sure to make that. It was super good. Justification for making pie! 

It got to be close to 5pm so I fed the dog, and got on the treadmill. I was listening to a podcast, finished the episode I'd started on the plane and the next one started. It was good enough for to hold my attention, and next thing I knew it was over 30 min. 

Why not do 5k, eh? Sure. I haven't gotten in any good distance in a bit so today I made use of my day off to do the baking and the running.

Here is a picture of my sister's dogs. All legs, all day. Digits below!
