52/435: Not Baked
May. 14th, 2026 10:18 pmIt was a bit cooler Thursday and the apartment peaked at 78 degrees this evening. I just got the windows open and the fan on and expect it will cool of quickly. Outdoors it's already down to 73, heading for a low of 59. More like June than May, but I can live with it.
Last night I only got about four hours of sleep, and had hamster wheel brain for quite a while. I'll be headed bedward earlier tonight, and hope to catch up with the loss. A sandwich might be devoured first, though I downed a large malted a couple of hours ago and might be able to get by with some cheese and crackers.
Down to my last two donuts and I still haven't arranged any new substitutions. I'll probably just try to make do with cookies. I have a lot of those on hand, though few are of the highest quality. I miss the convenience I enjoyed in childhood of bakery trucks plying the suburban streets. Helms Bakery had some great donuts, and cream puffs of a quality that is simply unavailable in our fallen world. I'd gladly sacrifice half of Congress to a white whale for one of those.
