Good dates are good.
I should clean today but do not want to. My birthday has flipped from doing things I want to doing things my kids want to do for me. Yesterday they invited one of their friends over for cupcakes. Ummmm thanks?

Two blocks up the street, they're going to have a festival today, and there's already a fried dough truck setting up. I know where I'm going today....

Got in a good hour or so of weeding in. It is not as hot today as I had feared it would be, but I just heard thunder so I'm coming inside for a bit.
ETA yard still looks weedy, but I can see there's progress

Is today your birthday, Kat? I hope it's got more fun than cleaning in it.

My neighbor was out raking up leaves(oh these damn trees) when I got back from running errands and I'm trying not to feel guilty for not being out there helping, but is really needed to put food in me and swap out the laundry. And it's the kind if humid out there where it is fine as long as you don't move...

It's a lot cooler today, which is nice because I have a cake in the oven. Betsy HP's Indiana Pound Cake, for anyone keeping score. (Dead easy and very tasty: 2 sticks butter, creamed with 2 cups sugar. Add 5 eggs. Then 2 cups flour, 1 tsp each vanilla & almond extract. Bake @325 for an hour.)
OK, cake in oven, now I need to shred things, and take on the bathroom cabinet.

Sunday at the con. Just had brunch, and am now listening to a concert.

I baked two loaves of zucchini bread this morning! And despite getting a chunk of zucchini in the eye, and snorting a hunk of walnut, I am happily noshing on a slice, and drinking delicious iced black/Passion tea.
YUM.

Mmmm, pound cake, zucchini bread, and brunch!
Another 40 minutes of weeding. I can see the end of this chore, almost, but I am pretty tired. Not sure how this is gonna play out. Also not sure if it is actually gonna rain - that would be so nice!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My apartment is now cleaner than it has been in years!
Which means, still not actually clean.
