I got a decent night's sleep last night and finally feel like a human being again - on Friday night I didn't fall asleep until after 4:30 am and slept for about 6 hours, which is not enough for me anymore. I did finally pick up my glasses though - I meant to duck out of work early to go on Friday afternoon (on our last summer Friday *sob*), but alas, work didn't allow for it, and by the time I was done, I was like, I don't want to go, for a variety of reasons. So I managed it yesterday - it ended up being really quick! And I really like my new glasses. I had grown displeased (aesthetically) with the ones I had early on, but last year my prescription had barely changed so I didn't want to spend the money on new ones. This year it changed enough - and I had put the money in my FSA - that it was worth doing. Then I came home and fell asleep on the couch, all baking and cooking plans out the window. *hands*

Today, I attempted this Smitten Kitchen peach cobbler loaf and while I liked the idea of it, it is a rare miss from SK, imo, at least as written. First of all, there is way too little topping for the size of the cake (and also the streusel should have cinnamon in it too, which I added). Second of all, the bottom and sides are overcooked but the batter under the top layer of peaches is still too wet/uncooked to eat. And yet my cake-tester came out clean repeatedly (I checked, since the recipe warns about it), so idek what the deal is with that. So that was a disappointment.

Then I roasted a chicken, which is never a disappointment. It was delicious, and will feed me again during the week, despite being the smallest roasting chicken you ever did see.

I know I owe answers to comments etc. and I am going to try to catch up but no guarantees. I'm just glad we're off tomorrow.
