I'd recommend a bakery near you, Amy, but nope, can't do that.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Because books.
I'm excited to make it! The bakery where I got my very favorite mocha cake since I was a kid has changed, so this is my chance to recreate it. And the pastry chef at the restaurant the bakery owner also owns gave me some tips on the mocha flavor.
She finally responded to me, by the way. After I texted her this morning, reminding her I was still waiting.

I saw a note somewhere that, since so many people are taking up baking, a woman was challenged to make a toilet paper cake. She made one - looks like a roll of toilet paper, when you slice into it, it's layers of chocolate cake with white icing.

Happy birthday, Scola! Did we meet in Austin or am I thinking of someone else?
All the -ma to the Zmayhem family; I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband now has to speak with a FOURTH person, a new person who is starting on Monday. I mean, this is still good, but OH MY GOD.

Much ~ma to Zmayhem family and also everyone else! I am sure I would miss someone if I tried to list people.
Happy Birthdays Tom and Amy! I know it is a different Amy and a different spelling, but that reminded me of the birthday cake that the Empress got that said Happy Birthday "Aimee"!

I am waiting to get on zoom again at one.
Also, nurses are wonderful! There are so many nurses in Rochester coming out of retirement to help staff the hospitals. They have turned most of the burn trauma unit and the surgical suites into ICU.Covid beds. Nurses from the OR with ER experience are staffing these. They have set up a separate, 5 patient trauma ER to take urgent non-Covid surgical cases, and that is being staffed with a lot of per diet nurses with OR experience or the OR nurses without ER experience. We just built a course in a week for these returning nurses. They are also scared, worried about PPE, worried about bringing things home to their families, some staying in motels so they don't bring anything home. Our hospital has started manufacturing our own hand sanitizer after raiding the chemistry department.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
that reminded me of the birthday cake that the Empress got that said Happy Birthday "Aimee"!
Literally every time I see or hear the name Amy/Aimee, I feel compelled to add a silent IF THAT IS YOUR NAME.
Similarly, our work has color-coded shuttles connecting the different campuses, and whenever the lime goes by I yell inside my head I DO NOT LIME!
All this is to distract myself from waiting for rounds to finish so I can call the hospital for an update and ask if I can FaceTime him (he won't respond, but he will be able to hear).
