We had an appointment with the chiropodist today, and I was never more grateful that she'd actually come to us, instead of us going to some pedicure salon. After a night, when my longest time of sleeping was about 75 minutes, interspersed with 20-25 minutes of coughing, blowing my nose, wandering around in the flat in the hope that my lungs would calm down in the vertical position, I could barely crawl out of bed in the morning. I'd have given my whole kingdom for a strong cup of coffee - only that I'm not allowed to have it before 11 am. *sigh*
Then, after the chiropodist was gone, we realized that we didn't have enough bread in the house, since I wasn't in any condition to do any shopping during the last three days. So I decided to bake some Rosinenstuten - which is a kind of raisin bread. Only that I used dried cranberries instead of raisins, just for fun.
The process took over three hours, as the dough has to be left to rise three times. So in-between I did some translating (by this speed I might finish the story till the next pico session... or not) and finally figured out how could I make the felt clock hands moveable with the help of eyelets and a button. I've been struggling with the problem for a long time; now that it is solved, I can launch into the Doll House quiet book project.
In the rest of the day I was coughing a lot, went through several packages of paper tissues and felt sorry for myself. But in the end the day didn't turn out completely useless, so I'm somewhat comforted.
