Score! Naptime has lasted long enough for me to upload & name a bunch of new pictures.
Heh. "You too other turtle!"
Dyl's a busy boy. I see an early walker here.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

The Onion exactly nails my opinion of Big Shots: Finally, a show that boldly confronts the problems of wealthy white men.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, my goal for today is missed. I'm getting a cab home from krav since I'm too light-headed to teach or drive.

Awww, fuck, Matilda's birthday cake has suffered a total collapse of structural integrity. And I had the top layer all nice and together! But when I poured the chocolate icing onto it, everything startled to fall away.
But the butterscotch icing in the middle is very tasty. It'll taste good - it'll just look like a train wreck.
It's a yellow cake. Yellow cake may taste yum but it's not a strong as chocolate! Emmett's cake was far sturdier.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
On the bright side, Matilda's still young enough not to much notice cake aesthetics. I suspect it is the mission of all toddlers to smear as much icing on their faces as possible.
How did it get to be 4 PM already? Without, you know, me taking a nap or getting very much of anything done?

I'm not worried about her so much as the in-laws. Oh well. JZ will have her frosting decoration kit. I suppose we could plug rosettes into the gaps.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
76-Year-Old Man With Purple Urine
You encounter some fascinating stuff reading the New England Journal of Medicine. Take NEJM's Image of the Week this week -- yes, yes in fact that is a bag of purple urine. Since you asked:
Purple discoloration can occur in alkaline urine as a result of the degradation of indoxyl sulfate (indican), a metabolite of dietary tryptophan, into indigo (which is blue) and indirubin (which is red) by bacteria such as Providencia stuartii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and enterococcus species. The clinical course is benign, and the urine typically clears with resolution of the bacteriuria and acidification of the urine.
Who knew?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Make it into parfaits!
Mmm...delicious cake.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is my all-time favorite of cakes.
Good luck with the decorating--I'm sure it will be lovely.
Happy Birthday, Alibelle!
