Rough night

Last night was unbelievably bad. To spare you from truly unpleasant imagery, I’ll just say that I couldn’t sleep. My stomach was not cooperating, and after waking up multiple times over a couple hours in a dead panic because I was choking/couldn’t breathe, I gave up and by 2 am, was knitting in the living room.

I went to bed again at 4:45 am, and as you can imagine, I’m exhausted.

Fortunately, the house is clean enough that I can relax today and we have food so I don’t need to go anywhere. I’m going to make every effort to take a nap.

Before attempting to sleep last night, we had a great time at the girls-in-law party. There were 8 of us total, and tons and tons of food. I made a blueberry crisp that was delicious. I doubled the topping. It seemed pretty skimpy when I was assembling it. There’s still half of the crisp in the fridge.

We have a potluck tomorrow night that I’m going to try a new cobbler recipe for… blueberries, crushed pineapple, and lemon cake.

Thanks for all of your blueberry suggestions. I’ve Googled Blueberry Buckle and it looks good. I’ve never made blueberry muffins. My attempt at blueberry pancakes a couple weeks ago was disastrous :-). So there’s some baking experimentation in the near future for me. And it seems I need to look up blueberry jam. I’d never heard of it.
