I woke up ready to go back to bed for another hour or so, but as I was making coffee and getting lunch ready for my guy, I took a peak inside of my non-fermenting wine bucket. What did I see…? A nice foamy layer of white bubbles. Finally, I have fermentation! This was enough excitement to snap me out of my tired spell, and I am now ready to take on the day. A little sleepy eyed and rough looking, but still, I am awake and quite happy. I won’t get ahead of myself, however, because I know that this start could also just as easily fizzle out and quit. But it is something and I am owing it all to that yeast energizer. I received some yesterday and immediately mixed it into the must. It did just what I was reading it would. Now if only it will keep it up for 5-7 days.
The week was not too bad. Besides my boy being sick for the first half of it, it was basically pretty good. There was a shift in schedule because of his being sick, but here it is Friday and we aren’t too far off track. I even found the time between school work, grading, and obsessively watching wine must to make a dress.
Not my typical size, but it will do for what it is. I just have one thing left to do with it, but that won’t take long at all, I hope. I just need to google how to make a thread loop and I will be all done.
It was a productive week, for sure. I won’t stay long over here on the blog this morning though, I have grading, paper work, and laundry to start. I am hoping for an easy school day because I would love to, for once, make it to the gym on a Friday. The boy has a piano make up class later so we are working hard to get everything done early. It may just happen…
That is about it from me. How was your week?
Rejoice for the Day
