1. This was one of those weeks where I was just happy to make it through. I broke my car (it suddenly started making loud noises—something with the exhaust, I think), work was crazy, I’m still trying to get over the last of the Covid, and the weather hit that point where it wants me not to be able to breathe for a week, what with the air quality and the 30 degree temperature drop in a day. But I am happy with the cooler temperatures, and I did make it through the week. I think this coming week will be the last difficult one for a while, so that’s good. I may be taking it just one week at a time for a bit.
2. Cake! There was a news story on one evening where one of the principals of the story was quoted as saying, “wanting their cake and eating it too.” It was a big story, so it was said several times during the news. And I had had a rough day at work and was really wanting cake. So my boyfriend went online and found a local place that carried actual slices of Buddy Velastro’s cake, and it could be delivered through Door Dash. (Continued below.)
3. I was sitting at my computer, working away, when my boyfriend told me that there was something delivered for me on the front porch. I got up and found a piece of cake. At the end of a difficult day for me, and a challenging day for him too, he had thought to try to order me some cake to help cheer me up. It was so thoughtful, and the cake was delicious, and everything was a little better for a while. We are not good about stopping to celebrate our anniversaries. However, this month is the tenth anniversary of when we met. I can remember my life before him, but it seems so empty. I am so lucky that he is in my life. I can’t imagine my future without him. Love you so much!
