Summer Time Again

Hi fellow internet people. Excuse my extremely long absence from blogging. I can give excuses but what it comes down to is I was too lazy to write. And since my absence was so long, I will instead focus on my here and now and not give you a synopsis of what has been going on.

EXTREMELY AMAZING NEWS: I bake. I work at a bakery, baking. My dream. Getting paid to cook/bake. It is literally amazing. I have to be at work by 5:00 A.M. 6 days a week! But that is the nature of the beast. The food industry, or any industry that "serves", is working when other people are relaxing. But I love it. I mix everything including challah, cookies, donuts, danish, ruggalah, breads (rye, pumpernickel, whole grain, white, wheat, cinnamon bread, etc), buttercream, fudge, streizel (most people say streusel but that is not correct), cream-cheese icing, cheesecake, sour cream pound cake, cream-cheese pound cake, marble cake, chocolate cake, white cake, cupcakes (chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, lemon, and many more), smear, brownies, cinnamon rolls, gluten-free cookies and cakes and brownies as well as a variety of other products. It is exhausting trying to remember everything that I mix up - I definitely forgot to mention some things. Oh well, I tried! Besides mixing, I also assist with decorating cookies and will soon begin working with cakes, including fondant and icing and decorating. I feel so lucky to have a job that I love!

Since I must be at work by 5:00 A.M. 6 days a week, I have found myself going to sleep even earlier than usual (which is a feat in itself because I already went to sleep at an unusually early hour for a young adult). That has definitely curbed my "going out", not that it was much to begin with. Every so often I do want to have a drink or stay at a friends house past my "bedtime" but being an adult comes with responsibility. Yes I called myself an adult. Young adult is a better term but an adult none-the-less.

Besides baking, and considering it is the summer, my loyal blog readers (Hi Mom! Hi Josh! haha) should know what I am up to - CONCERTS. MUSIC. FESTIVALS. HIKING. BIKING. Ok maybe not festivals this year (because of work) but definitely a lot of music and hiking. I even have been toying with the idea of buying a new bicycle (mine is at least 10 years old and cannot go through the woods and the streets and everywhere else I bring it without something going wrong). So far the concerts I am definitely going to include Phish at SPAC and Yonder Mountain String Band in Brooklyn (I believe). I was also planning on other concerts but had to cut back because I want to work and not miss out on an opportunity to learn while making money! :)

I am going to upload some pictures to make up for my lack of posting. Hopefully I will get back up to speed and be a regular on here once again! Enjoy.
