Also mine, have to work, man.

But going out for dinner, and have made cake and ice cream for after.

 

/Between weekends, MLK day, teachers' association meetings, and snow (Ohio, Wisconsin, and upstate New York 0, San Diego Many) rarely had school on my birthday growing up.

 

The first few years PRG was here she insisted on making her own birthday cake, rather than taking her chances with my baking or having me buy one despite my best efforts to convince her otherwise.

This year I made my own birthday cake because I'm on a diet so not using a normal cake and she doesn't know how to bake for that.

[laylalex 7,268]

We went up to our new, about to be under construction house to meet with the contractor/architect to discuss renovations. We got there a few minutes before he did, and we were checking out the rooms -- especially the ceilings and seals on the windows/doors -- to see if the monsoon weather that has been lashing SoCal had seeped in. (It had not.) But what Alex discovered was that we had...forgotten to lock the front door when we left last Saturday afternoon.  Well, I guess that tells us something about safety in our little cul de sac.

Have lost many (2*2*2*2*2) pounds between diet, exercise, and medication since summer, though backslid a bit over the holidays, actually.

Some numbers said I was borderline diabetic when I had an often-delayed physical last summer, hence finally got serious about it.

Really, I like cooking (admittedly, I make the main course or pizza on weekends and dessert; PRG does all other cooking).

But I guess if someone's figuring out how to bake without using regular flour and sugar (I think I have Many different sugar substitutes in the pantry right now), it's me 🤣

 

Also, exactly one woman wanted to see me again after spending more than a few days with me, so I'm keeping her around. 🤣
