I celebrated my birthday as well as anyone who is exhausted, fighting a second viral infection, and pink eye. I did get nice, thoughtful gifts from the natives. I look forward to feeling better and interacting more. Oléé

Very busy today. I did finances in the morning. Then I went to the supermarket to get somethings. Let me tell you cream cheese can be anywhere. Something else was hard to find. I spent a long time looking for those things.
I went home to start preparing for a birthday l and birthday dessert for Number Two Son. Well a lot of preparation. Bottleneck occurred when 8″*8″ casserole dish was not where it should have, nor could it be discovered in its secondary haunts. I was later informed of an unsuspected location. It was found.
I walked 30 minutes to eye therapy. Did 45 minutes of eye therapy, which is definitely more tiring than regular physical activity. Walked 30 minutes back. Prepared and cooked for the next 3 hours. Did a bunch of dishes during lulls in cooking.
Celebrated Birthday dinner and dessert. Birthday dinner was Tacos al Pastor. Desset was Blueberry Cheesecake.
Sorry, this post isn’t as creative as most but I’m tired and my hurts a fair amount.

I’ve recovered enough from yesterday to make a birthday cake. Alas, it’s not my best effort, but still the cake was homemade. The strawberry frosting was also frosting. This cake was my first attempt to use fondant.
I also made strawberry glycerin soap, using real strawberries.
All this activity kept me off the streets, where I would only have fomented revolution.

The desktop fan ruffled the ribbon. The loops swelled like the waves of a tiny blue ocean. A surprise, indeed. He hadn’t received a present from an employee… Ever. He picked at the wrapping, first tentatively, but with more zeal as the shreds of paper fell away. He lifted off the lid, his mind ticking through ideas of what lay inside, the hope of at last being respected filling his tight little chest. The tissue paper rustled. A creature—might have been a rat before whatever dreaded disease consuming it had ravaged its body and turned it into a pustulous, skeletal horror—leapt from the folds. He shrieked as it came. And again as it latched on.
Rows of eyes studied him through the slats in the blinds, each hungrily fixed on the foul beast injecting demise into his veins. Their work done, his staff drifted away, bled into the shadows they occupied, the shadows cast by his oversized office and always closed door.
He meant to shake off the creature, but that seemed wrong, somehow. After all, they had finally given him a gift, and had even taken the time to staple a birthday hat to its head.
