It wasn't necessarily intentional, but I've had a hard time sleeping lately so I just haven't been bursting with energy.
After classes I was tempted to curl up with Casper and take a nap, but I fought the urge and walked down the street to the used bookstore. I didn't find the Aristotle book I was looking for, but I was happy to just browse through the shelves. I flipped threw a few baby name books because I always like to see if my name is listed, but I've only found it in a couple. Sure, they have Galatea and Geranium, but no Galina.
I didn't buy anything at the bookstore because I have plenty of books here at my apartment. Now that I'm done with Jane Eyre I think I'll move on to a book that was lent to me some time ago; A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines.
I had intended to bake something tonight, but upon investigating my flours I discovered that I'm running a little low on most of the gluten-free essentials. Here's what I threw together!
Also, Shauna Ahern of Gluten-Free Girl tweeted this link for an NPR article earlier today. It's an interesting read!
