I know, I know.... I get the Golden Dunce Cap Award. And yes, thank

you, thank you Anya for reminding me to use my baking sheets ALL the

time! I remember thinking briefly yesterday that I should be using

one, but that was just a little nudge at the back of my brain, while

the front of my brain was involved in thinking about the other things

that I was doing at the same time.

The baking sheets are the perfect thing for me. Easy to contain

spills and salvage most of the material, large enough to place a few

items in while I'm working - and I've been way too lucky so far and

never had a spill. Yesterday was an anomaly. I'm usually only doing

one thing, and keeping my eyes and mind on my work the entire time,

and being very slow and deliberate. This sent the message all the way

home that I need to use the sheets every time.

Actually, (and very fortunately) I didn't lose too terribly much

tincture. A few tablespoons. It was a very valuable lesson without

too much damage - someone (the deity who watches over fools) made sure

that I lost just enough to teach me a lesson. It was another reminder

to me to stop trying to multi-task so much. And I got to have a laugh

at myself and share that laugh here.

Looking kinda fetching (but also rather silly)

in her golden dunce cap,
