April 15, abt 1 AM

Early feeding tonight...I didn't get much sleep and I'm tired so I'm going to try to go to bed early this morning.

There's a definite odor - maybe an acetone note? - and some bubbling - I think it was a bit taller in the jar.

Anyway...stirred it in the jar with a silicone spatula, tared out the whole works on the scale, added 4 ounces of tap water, stirred it, added 4 ounces of AP flour, stirred and scraped, covered it with the same cloth and rubber band, and put it back on the counter.

It occurred to me that I'm trying to start a wild yeast starter in the midst of a pandemic...G-d only knows what all the germicides and disinfectants are doing to microbial life.
