So A's still sick and has added a whopper of an ear infection to her cold. 10 out of a 10 the Ped said. Grrrrr-eat! I've apparently stuck my head in mud because I can't hear, and every time I swallow my ears pop. JOY.
Not much has been happening that has been post worthy. Its still absolutely freezing at work. I've been told that the "furnace is broken" and "we haven't had time to fix it"....Um, HELLO, December here. We're in New England. It ain't gonna get warmer out! Whatever. I'm now wearing a thermal tank top, sweater and sitting on top of my electric heater (which isn't on HIGH). So I'm ok, the rest of the bastards who don't complain can freeze.
In one of my Mom's groups there been a thread about this bread recipe from the NYTimes. I've been DYING to try it. Finally going to give it a go starting on Friday, so that we can have some nice, crusty bread at dinner on Sat.
I've even created life out of flour and water! Bwha-ha-ha-haaaaaaa I created a sour dough started and shit if it didn't actually work! It did take 2 tries as DH threw the first attempt out at the end of day 2, not knowing that the pancake looking batter that smelt slightly beer-y SHOULD be there. But, he was informed and I've had an awesome 2nd try which has been growing amazingly well. Can't wait to use it in the bread!
Well I guess that's it. Nothing Shakespearian from me today. Sorry.

You need to buy one of those portable space heaters (about $20 at your local hardware store) and bring it into work.
Plug it in under your desk. One of my co-workers has one and keeps it well hidden from the cubicle police. Our place isn't cold, but she needs it pretty warm.
I hope you have a quick recovery from what sounds like a terrible head cold.
Good luck on that sour bread. If you get it right try this recipe from the NYT for No-Knead Bread, it sounds really interesting.
Happy Christmas!!
