Splendid Sunday

Wow, it's been a month since I blogged last. I can sum that month up in: school work, exhaustion, pain, physical therapy, walks, resting, more school work, doctor's appointments, more school work, rest, and a little bit of fun thrown in to keep me sane.

Now for the wonderful day that was today!

Woke up feeling mildly good for the first time in a while. Decided I wanted something warm and sweet for breakfast, so settled on cinnamon muffins (yummy cinnamon taste of cinnamon rolls without all the work). While they're baking, I wash the dishes and make an icing for the top of the muffins. Eat a muffin - they're pretty terrible and pretty burnt on the sides :(. Decide to meet a friend for coffee and remember an important lesson from Gilmore Girls - muffin tops are the best part of the muffin! I decide to frost just the tops of muffins, so there's about 1/3 icing, 2/3 muffin. It worked perfectly! Have a wonderful time outside in the sunshine drinking coffee, eating muffin tops, and sharing conversation. Wander back to my apartment to soak up more sun while petting a cat and chatting. Later, decide it's time for lunch and head to Five Guys for bacon burgers, fries, and fountain soda, along with more sun. Head home for some rest, including watching HILARIOUS videos on YouTube. It was nice to laugh so hard for so long. Decide to attempt another baking adventure and start on some blondies (brownies that are butterscotchy rather than chocolatey). In the middle of the process realize that the nausea I'm having is due to forgetting my morning meds - bleh. Fortunately, watching a Princess and the Frog with a friend, a cat, and a heating pad makes the nausea go away, and the blondies are pretty darn tasty. Laugh far more than the movie probably intended and thoroughly enjoyed picking out the various Disney movies that were mimicked in this one. Followed by the world's most efficient trip to Wegman's and a delightful cold dinner to balance out all the baked goods and greasy foods of the day :). Overall a thoroughly enjoyable day, and it's not even over!
