This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

PUPPY!!!

So I've been priming and painting like crazy but now my right hand/wrist is acting up so I need to take a break. It's been almost a year since we moved here, and painting has given me/us the opportunity to reassess furniture placement beyond the "make a quick decision and then point the mover in that direction" design "plan" we had when we got here. It's fun, actually. Looking at things in a new way, and even though we can't really afford new furniture right now, I've been shopping for decor accessories.

Quarantine livin'.

Been working on the backyard a little, too.

It helps to have a focus and tasks that provide satisfaction, but it isn't the end of the world if they get delayed or derailed.

Our wings are not tired.

Puppy! That is all.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Puppy!

I have lots of puppy (well, dog) time right now, at my brother's place with their two dogs as well as mine. They are mostly well-behaved except for occasionally barking during conference calls.

As much as I love GBBO, I don't know if I'll ever have the ... whatever ... to try making puff pastry from scratch

I found a recipe for quick puff pastry from scratch, and it wasn't too bad... Here! [link]

I used it to make apple turnovers not long ago...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I ended up going into the office today so I could print out a bunch of orders to take notes on as I validate them against projected inventory - only half done with that, but I have the printed orders for Monday, if not the big empty surface to spread them out on - and now that I'm home I am wiped out. So tired! Hopefully I can leverage this tiredness to get to sleep early tonight and then wake up and actually do some yard work before it gets hot

Puppy!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Puppy!!

It's been almost a year since we moved here

Holy crap! I realize my sense of time is going to be all messed up from here on out, huh? Because winter was one minute/100 years ago.

Strata is assembled to be baked tomorrow. Mom is bringing pizza and calzones. TCG will get the cake from the bakery tomorrow morning and ice for the drink bucket. We have ice cream for the cake and seltzer and beer for beverages. TCG's stepmom is supposed to bring wine, and that is our socially distant outdoor birthday party for ltc.
