August 14: Shooting Stars and Bierocks

Day 96

Peter has awakened the last two nights, much to my dismay. Two nights ago when he woke up, we did manage to go outside and look up at the starry sky. We live pretty close to town, so there was some light pollution, but we did catch a couple of shooting stars while Peter downed his bottle. I don't know what his deal was last night. Maybe he just misses me and wants to spend more time with his Mama. It's worth feeling tired the next day.

Me and Petie after work last night.

I worked a long day yesterday and didn't get home until 7 PM...just in time to give Petie a bath and a bottle and put him to bed. I had a cooking class at the library where I made something called bierocks. A bierock a hunk of bread with a meat and cabbage filling. It's very popular here due to all of the Germans-from-Russia who settled in this area in the 1870s. The class went great and I brought home supper, which was a tasty treat.

My purge today is another shirt. It's a dressy tank top, but it goes with very little that I own and when I wear it with pants it looks like my top half and bottom half don't match.
