I had another lousy sleep last night. I'm just going to keep putting up with it, unless it gets much worse. Sometimes I even wonder if some of it is more in my head. I've generally felt mostly better by late morning. I think this will pass. My gastro issues seem to have ended. I even feel like my legs are less bloated. Don't wish to gross people out, but this morning I felt like I lost a gallon of water weight. I was like "What the heck!" That feels good, too,

Little things can bring such joy. I had been waiting for an electric sweeper to arrive for ages, and we finally got one. The first one got lost, and I needed a refund.

I think I screwed up yet another baking project. I read to double the amount of German baking powder when using US recipes that call for it. Instead, I stupidly doubled the amount of baking soda. The recipe called for that and not powder, but I applied the powder rule. Ugh! Also, I'm still trying to master how to adapt American recipes to use Czech flour(s). I try Czech recipes for some things, but Czechs just don't have as good of ones for more classic American baked goods (i.e. banana nut muffins). One Czech banana muffin recipe called for chocolate milk. I just wasn't going to do that!
