We're above freezing and our high this afternoon is expected to be in the low 60s (F). Tomorrow night another cool front is going to be moving through Central PA. The original forecast had us receiving about 2 inches of snow. That has now been changed to rain, with smattering of ice late Monday night into Tuesday morning. After that, temps are going to zoom upwards. There are actually a few days in which we're expecting to breach the 60 (F) barrier.
And yesterday was one of those, hhhmm, lets get this done sort of of days. I set up the dehumidifier in the basement. Thinking that my basement was rife with humidity, I set it up to run nonstop. This morning, I reset it, taking it off nonstop and setting the humidity lever at 45%. I also did some research online. Most of my humidity problems will happen during the spring and summer, not the fall and winter. This means the new dehumidifier will probably be sitting in standby mode until April or May. That's fine.
I also managed to get a little workout in using the new piece of gym equipment. Tomorrow I'm going to activate Trainwell for another 3 months. I need to. I've gained weight. My trainer and I will have to re-evaluate my workouts since I've changed my hours. This means I will have to put the rowing machine back together. I may rearrange the workout room while I'm at it, or maybe not.
One of the things I did yesterday was back a chocolate olive oil cake... from scratch. Most recipes are for vanilla or lemon flavored cakes but I was craving deep, dark chocolate, so that's what I made. With a peanut butter drizzle frosting. Yum.

That cake looks delicious - I'm sure it will help you lose weight too!
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't mention that I baked it without calories.
DeleteI knew he was going to get us in a war with Iran. And some of the countries that I ran those business with I don't think you want to piss off. One of these days he's going to push her luck and we're the ones that are going to be invaded.
ReplyDeleteBut truth be told you had me with this post with deep dark chocolate.
Deep dark chocolate, eh? And, since it's an olive oil cake it's eternally moist.
DeleteI wonder if Putin will release some dirt on Cankles because you know he has it.
ReplyDeleteHe might, because he and the Iranian government were tight as hell.
