Finding Passion

I've spent the last few years trying to find my hobby.  Everybody else seems to have a hobby, but I was missing that in my life.  I tried any number of things, but nothing seemed to stick.

While watching TV today the show mentioned cheesecake, and that instantly made me want to bake.  Kevin and I went to the store and got the ingredients we didn't have.

The cheesecake is currently in the oven, and the batter tasted amazing.

I think baking is my hobby, and I think it always has been.  Baking has always brought me joy and been a challenge.  I realize now that I've always had a hobby.  I just lost my way as my list of food allergies increased.

I've been reminded now that baking makes me happy, and I will spend the future trying out new recipes and creating amazing baked goods that you would want to eat, even if you don't have the allergies.

Here's hoping for lots of delicious baked goods in my future.....starting with cheesecake tomorrow.

5 Years Later

For some reason I feel inspired to start blogging again.

Five years have passed since my last blog post and a lot has happened.....kind of.

I finished court reporting school, passed the CSR, passed the RPR, passed the RMR, was a pro tem in court, became part-time faculty at West Valley College, and just last December became a full-time official reporter with Santa Clara Superior Court.

While I'm not sure what this blog will be about, we'll just see where it goes.

For the time being, I'm sitting in an empty courtroom since every trial went away.  I will sit and hope that they send us a multi-day multi-defendant prelim that takes my time.  Otherwise it's going to be a VERY BORING week.

Here's hoping for a busier workday and more transcripts.
