Can I put in for 2-3 hours extra work?

I left with a project in test (a weird in production test, because I'm a solo dev) and dreamed about solving the issues all weekend long.

I'm kind of sad. I finished @maigadoocy.bsky.social 's Sorcery and Small Magics and there is no second one yet.

It is fine. I have another 20 books out from the library to soothe myself with. It was just so sweet and wholesome feeling compared to the news. I need that.

I made a strawberry birthday cake with a strawberry jam filling and Swiss meringue buttercream.

I have more strawberries and some fondant decorations to go on before serving, because I am trying my hand at the King Arthur berry mirror glaze later today.

Does everyone have a sandwich at the ready?

Link is a YouTube video of Bonnie Tyler's song, Holding Out For a Hero, which my choir is singing for our next concert.

So, I feel like this is unfair. Kentucky voted in 1992 to give themselves a break and only have elections 3 out of 4 years. We have elections every even year, but I had to double check that we had something or nothing to vote for. Odd years are weird here.
Civics is important, my fellow Americans.

I wish I had the interchangeable needle set in my bag. One of the needles (right side) is unscrewing every row.

I just cannot tighten it enough by hand.

I feel like @kateatherley.bsky.social would be proud of me.

I stifled the urge to weave in the ends, washed my knitting and patted and lightly pinned it to shape to dry and then wove in my ends.

I think the areas where I put a new skein in for a stripe look better (more filled in).

I made a test cake for practicing mirror glaze. Gingerbread cake with pumpkin whipped cream, Swiss meringue buttercream and white chocolate mirror glaze.

The glaze isn't quite right. Obviously I needed the practice.

I make these at least once every year. They are delicious even if you make them too hard to chew!

Image is a cutting board lined with parchment with reddish brown caramels being cut. The caramels are dotted with flaky sea salt.
This is the best candy I've *ever* made. It compacts a whole bottle of fresh apple cider into a salt-flecked, cinnamon-y, buttery caramel that is so loud with everything awesome about fall, no October is complete without it.

Gosh darn it! I woke up thinking it was Saturday!

I have only practiced my clarinet ~30 minutes since I picked it up Saturday.

While I only can consistently play 5 notes, I'm looking for songs to work towards. I have printed a version of Ghostbusters, but I need something a bit easier. Any suggestions?

Ah yes, time to get up!

Push straight to production.

My hand hurt on Friday and I bought the cheapest compression thing for it.

Today I said I'm tired of wearing, used some ibuprofen and cleaned my kitchen (stove side). Maybe by this time next weekend I will have a pretty kitchen.

Kid's birthday party cake. White velvet with strawberry and lemon. Filled with a strawberry whipped cream and topped with a chocolate strawberry frosting.

I decided I wanted to feel pretty this morning, so I put on my new earrings from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social.

I have gotten compliments already and they aren't too heavy given I haven't regularly worn jewelry in 12+ years!

I don't really believe in astrology, but so many jobs have been sent back for redos that I wonder what craziness is in the air or the water.

It makes getting home a giant mess, because by then I'm almost always out of cope.

When I first tried to read Pride and Prejudice I had the hardest time.

Eventually I tried again after reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It was much easier now that I wasn't looking for extra drama.

I feel the same way about Soulless, which I finished this morning. Most fun!

Last night I had a margarita for the first time in forever.

Doesn't make up for my weird computer problems all week, but it's a start.

Last year I ordered Burdicks for Halloween and a separate order around Christmas.

It is super tempting to do that again this year. I don't remember if all the flavors are the same, but they are always really flavorful.

If I had one of these, I'd bring it to work and put a little sign out to squeeze it for stress relief.
Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

I brought just under half a cake to work today, and it was gone by 9:15.

I love baking so much more when I don't have to eat more than 2-3 days of it.

Happy Birthday to my medium human!

Lemon cake with lemon curd layer.
