My Standards Are So Low

masterofmidgetsToday I was something vaguely approaching useful and productive! For a given value of useful and productive. Things I did today:
Made honey-buttermilk bread, since I had honey I got the other day for my hair. I still haven't solved the problem of my bread collapsing in the middle in a big giant crater (I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with the high altitude here), but it tastes just as delicious even if it isn't pretty, and it's kinda fun to break off the crispy bits around the top and eat them right after it comes out of the oven. I still need to experiment more with the bread machine, though.
Made plans for my birthday, which can sometimes be a complicated venture. But it will probably work out in the end - nobody's really available on the same day, thank god, so I just have to get all the different bits lined up so I know where I'm going to when. Next week should be fun!
Watched it rain! It's been thunderstorming on and off for the last two days, it is AMAZING and I LOVE IT. It's finally broken through that intensely miserable sticky-hot thing we've had going on for the last week or two that makes me want to go inside with the AC cranked up to 11 and never go out again. Also the lightning is exciting!
Finished the Sulu/Chekov hurt/comfort fic! It needs one more run through by my beta (*waves atcolourofsaying *) to check for mistakes and fix some niggly little dialogue problems, and it doesn't have a title, but it should be good to post tomorrow. Ended up about 2300 words, and I'm moderately happy with it (man, I just love getting some writing actually done, fucking christ). So go me! Although I am probably one of the only people in the world who will veer away from near sex-in-the-botany-lab to have the characters HOLD HANDS.
