My birthday was in the first part of May. Normally, the natives and I would have celebrated back then. But then a nasty strain of Covid struck. Immediately after, came a severe ear blockage. About a month later, I went to the emergency room with horrible pains. It transpired that I had a severely infected gall bladder which had to be removed immediately. Because of the surgery, I couldn’t do any bending, twisting, or lifting anything over ten pounds for six weeks.
Well, I got better. I even think that the antibiotics given me for the surgery and the weeks afterwards helped unclog my ears. Yes, I am a multi-tasking over achiever.
Today, I made an angel f00d cake and chocolate frosting. I used my kitchen stamps to make letters, numbers, and designs out of old, blue fondant.
Happy delayed birthday to me.
