It’s been a day… So here are a few happier things to make it better.
When I was at Lynne’s for a few days last week, she made me an early birthday cake. IT WAS SO FREAKING GOOD.
We had another cake Sunday, when we finally got to celebrate Lindsey’s January birthday along with mine. It was a very fun night of food, conversation, and gift opening!
This is a pillow we got for their “you’re back at RubinSmo Manor after your big remodeled house” warming present. It’s from the web site of a favorite Instagram account of Rhonda’s, Lindsey’s, and mine, associated with Effin’ Birds, where nothing is sacred and the easily offended dare not go. 😉
Richard Marx, Stories To Tell: Greatest Hits and More; and Limitless.
I have done a bit of writing in fits and starts. A lot has gone on in and around Houndstooth Hall the last week or so, plus the world and all its happenings are a distraction. Since I’m still in the “M” playlist section, I decided to listen to the Richard Marx I have in cardboard sleeves (as I’m moving them from the box where CDs go when they won’t fit in the binders I use to a netted section in the front of the binder with all the Mellencamp CDs that are also in cardboard sleeves). Time will tell if that works out, especially since I have more in cardboard sleeves that would need to fit in this binder (thinking of McCartney and Petty, for starters).
ETA: My last book read this month, also a gift from Timothy, is the latest Stephanie Plum by Janet Evanovich. The supporting cast of characters she invents each book are brilliant and keep me laughing. They tend to turn up again in future books.
More birthday stuff to come. I like to drag this celebration out each time I hit 135 years.
