This batch of yeast rolls is a litlle more moist, but are kind of dense and not light and fluffy. They didn't rise near as much as I'd hoped they would but at the same time, the temps are starting to cool down.

I'll try one more time, this time using a warm oven to rise the dough. If it fails, I'll probably move on to another bread cause each batch I make is a week of food, and I'm tired of three weeks of mediocre yeast rolls.

Trying the "School Cafeteria Yeast Rolls" yet again. This time, instead of scaling them down to 15g carbs per roll (which is my "snack" amount of carbs), I scaled them to 36g, which is my full meal amount of carbs. Larger rolls. We'll see if they're still overly dry in the morning, but they look a lot more normal.

Superman IV: This movie does not deserve Gene Hackman. He's the REAL Superman of this movie.

I do like the hints that Lois knows Clark is Superman and she remembers despite all the mindwipes (WHICH I FIND CREEPY THANK YOU VERY MUCH).

This is bad. This movie is trying, but it's a struggle.....

"My god, Bones. What have I done?"

These guys are gonna get a little break. They've been busy....

Health Update...

Neck Pain: I'm able to sit at the computer more and more often now without pain, up to an hour. My left arm isn't weak anymroe, but still buzzes. The physical therapy seems to be working, and the injection (which was a nightmare), has left my neck stiff, but not nearly as painful. I'm hoping I'll be able to get back to writing and drawing this week. Don't want to say that too loudly because the Universe tends to punish me for being creative.

Chronic Cough: The speech therapist has determined that my cough is caused by a delay in my swallow reflex (and sometimes it not triggering at all) causing junk to drizzle into my lungs. Some muscle therapy is in order to fix that, but at least we know what's causing it.

Psoriasis: I'm finally on the medication to clear that up. I hope I find work, soon, because outside of insurance, it's $10,000 a dose. Seriously. Holy crap. Still too soon to see any clearing, but if it does clear it, the only thing holding me back from my surgery would be my weight.

Things are looking up, health wise at least.

I heard "I just don't think that's going to happen" so so so much over the years....

Rarely drive cause of the car starting to show its age, and lots of medications = cheap gas.

Trying a different take on not wasting ingredients since buying groceries for one is nigh on impossible.
