Egads...

This whole getting-up-really-early thing is starting to wear on me a bit. The excitement of the first week has worn off, and so now I have in front of me a slightly uphill slog to get used to getting up at Oh-My-God!o'clock.

Today wasn't so bad. Set the alarm for 5am and managed to haul myself out of bed at 5:20.

I made bran muffins. They are in the oven now. I'm following karine's recipe, but I realised a little too late that I have no baking powder, so I'm hoping they'll still turn out okay.

Thank goodness for the fact that ashforestwalker is giving me a lift to work today. Otherwise, there would be no muffins and I would as of right now be running exceedingly late. If I'm taking the bus to work then I have to be outta here by 6:20 at the very latest. As it is, when I get a lift, I can laze around for a whole extra 40 minutes. Long enough, in fact, to make muffins.

Okay. I have to go prepare my sandwich and finish getting dressed. Oh, and take my vitamins. I forgot yesterday.

Have a good one, folks!

Emergency Kitchen Substitutions

For: 1 tsp baking powder
Use: 1/3 tsp baking soda plus 1/2 tsp cream of tarter, or 1/4 tsp baking soda plus 1/3 cup sour milk

Of course, it only works if you have the other stuff handy...

Let me know how the muffins turn out. Hopefully they aren't bricks...
