    @Totalanimefan: Good call. I'm usually pretty relaxed when I travel, although I just chalk it up to an easygoing demeanor and having packed a few days/day in advance. My partner will run around and get flustered in line because it's not moving as quickly as it could.

    Maybe you'll have some sun tomorrow? It has been really lovely and romantic in the living room during the morning and afternoons, so I've just taken to sitting on the couch there to read.

    That's a nice way to do it. Especially if you're also trying to protect your pocketbook as well.

    Oh, just some administrative work today. I think I'm going to have to call some podunk little town and I'm already groaning at the thought.
    @Totalanimefan: Have a safe flight and be careful over there.

    I'm not doing too badly, just enjoying the morning sun. I hope you're doing well, too.

    @CooperationIsKey: Good luck with the dental stuff. It might be possible to also look at a university in the area, and whether they have a dental school. When I was uninsured (as I am now, hahh...) I would go to the dental school for cleanings and fillings and then pay out of pocket. They did take much longer than a typical dental/orthodontic office, but it also came at a fraction of the price so I couldn't really complain in earnest.

    Oh, right?! I don't remember where I saw the trick about just using a bowl/piece of cardboard/etc. to cut out of a sheet cake. It must have been during the trend of turning sheet cakes into luxury wedding cake towers. In any event, it works and it's actually pretty helpful when you want all of your layers to be even. They might be a tad thick, depending on the size of your sheet pan, but hey.
    It's interesting to see what people--particularly the long-time users--can do with their avatars here.

    It's hard not to admire the dedication and thought that goes into a game he creates. I held off on Stardew Valley for the longest time because I thought the aesthetic was unattractive. While I do wish there was a little more detail in customizing how your own avatar looks, I grew to appreciate the style and I'm sure this next creation will be just as enjoyable and fulfilling.

    @CooperationIsKey: It's funny, I seem to enjoy the opposite combination of cake; the white/yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I'm sure you'll be able to make the cherry cake one day! If you happen to have a knife, you can always bake the cake in a sheet pan and then cut out the shapes. I've done it before and used a guide I made out of cardboard. To be honest...it's a lot easier than using a springform (in my opinion). What might be kind of cool, though, is a tall springform that you can stack the cakes in--especially if it's kind of wet or you're using the "scraps" to form a layer.

    All in all, it sounds like it was a really good day!

    Ah, I see, so that's what it is.

    I'm doing well, thank you for asking. Just sort of tottering around the house again. How are you doing lately?

    @CooperationIsKey: Happy belated birthday!
    May I ask about the cake? I made my own birthday cake twice; once was a pretty swiss roll, and the recent one was a monster of a birthday cake that I honestly did not anticipate being so large. It sounds like you had a really good day, though?

    And a Christmas website?

    Ohh, that's a very pretty style. It reminds me of another artist (I'm afraid I don't know the name) because of the similar lighting effect. It comes off as very romantic!

    It's kind of tough, right?
    I remember seeing so many people act like nothing had changed during the height of summer and it was bewildering. My partner and I have gone out a couple of times recently and as enjoyable as it is, we are still kind of gun-shy. It's also still surprising to me to see how self-absorbed some people are.

    As an example, I saw this guy without a mask chewing gum and getting close to groups of people. I don't think I would have noticed if it wasn't for how wide he was opening his mouth and how close he was leaning to strangers.

    Oh boy, that was cringe.

    @The Bride: Ahh.
    I like the snow, but we haven't had any here. I think it comes more in January and February.
