Flamin Hot Cheetos

Since the ongoing job hunting in the last three months since I arrived back in the states has proved unsuccessful, I have heaps and heaps of free time to do whatever I like. The question now becomes finding ways to cure my almost constant boredom.
I usually sleep in quite late, which helps take up some of the hours, but this morning I tossed and turned before finally looking at my phone to see that it was only 6:30 am. Approximately six hours earlier than usual. I started off checking all the sites to which I hold an account, several times. I then went out and worked on dying my Tegan dress a little more. I am re-creating the colourful batwing dress that the Fifth Doctor's companion Tegan Jovanka wears in several serials. Having barely any money because of the lack-of-job situation I grabbed the slightly strechy white cotton I had in my closet and a shirt of similar shape to the goal and traced it. I hand sewed the dress together and now I am using Rit dyes that I had in my closet to recreate it.

Then at noon I had to take my dog to the vet. He has an ear infection and has burst a blood vessel in the ear flap causing it to swell up with blood/fluid. The vet drained it and gave us some more ear medication for him. I could tell it was sort of gross/painful because I could hear the vet tech going, "Oh man!" It still hurts a bit but apparently there is a 20% chance it will heal or else they'll have to do surgery or amputate the leather.

Even through all of this, as well as consuming about as many flamin hot cheetos as humanly possible without being sick, I was still bored. So now I am off to watch countless dressage freestyle videos.

I am the master of the coco wheats


I understand the nature of the CoCo Wheats in their entirety. I respect the relationship of the water to wheats ratio. I understand the laws of the CoCo Wheats. That which is too soggy, can become gooey through the application of stirring, sitting, or heat. Adding more wheats will only upset the balance and result in gritty, tasteless cereal. Additionally, when the amount of sugar added seems to be correct, always add one more spoonful.
