Yes, I did indeed use my new immersion blender today and it did fantastic!
For those of you who don't know, I use sugar free Jell-O pudding mix with heavy whipping cream to make something like a mousse dessert. Even if you don't have insulin resistance, I highly recommend it. So this morning, I used my whisk attachment and my immersion blender and it turned out so smooth and creamy. Much better than using the beaters on my regular mixer, and it had the added bonus of not having to drag the mixer out of the cabinet. I can definitely see myself using it more often -- enough to make it worth the price, at least.
In other news, the day did not start out well. I woke up at 1:00 -- yes, you read that right-- and couldn't go back to sleep for anything. I tried to lay in bed for a while, but as soon as the cat knew I was awake, and how figures that out is quite beyond me, she parked herself right outside the bedroom door and set up yowling and yowling and yowling.
I got out of bed and let her in, thinking that would shut her up, but no. She just jumped up onto the bed and set up yowling from there. Along about 3:30, I came to the conclusion that there would be no more sleeping for me, so I got out of my nice warm bed, fed the cat, and built a fire.
Yes, I made coffee, too, but that goes without saying.
That reminds me of a funny story. My sister got me one of those coffee pod holders for Christmas, so sometimes I like to close my eyes, spin the holder, and pick a flavor at random. Well, one day this week, I spun it a bit too hard and flung my coffee pods all over the kitchen.
All that to say, I've been up for a long, long time. I hadn't really planned on doing anything today anyway, but my insomnia pretty much sealed the deal. I did four loads of laundry and watched the new Gladiator II movie. It was OK, but was essentially a re-hash of the first Gladiator movie, right down to the almost identical fight scenes. I also caught up a bit on some of my YouTube subscriptions, and my Chicago shows.
And yes, I've tried everything. I've used O'Keefe's, CeraVe, Cornhusker's Lotion, Curel, and something my friend Cyndye sent me. Lumosity or something like that. Nothing helps. Once the splits start, there is nothing for it but to wait for them to heal.
The good news is we're in for a bit of a warming spell, even though right now it's colder here than it is in Fairbanks, where my sister lives.
That won't last long. By Thursday, their high will be - 16. There was once a time when I thought I wanted to live in Alaska. Too many Jack London novels. That's one prayer I'm really, really glad God said no to.
That's all I have for now. As I said, I've been awake since 1:00, and I've got a busy day tomorrow. I'm going to get myself something to eat, then go to bed a bit early.
Laters.
