school day

 My recent back injury is having a bit of collateral damage. I was up early dealing with a quarter of my body having a toothache. Still at 7:30 I staggared upstairs and woke my son for school. Then i started the painful stretches i will need to drive him. He came out and very kindly informed me it was not a school day. Sorry kid

Our son asked for a specific cake for his birthday last week.

"I would like this cake from the video game Portal, I don't care what it tastes like."

He didn't realize Olive and her sister are expert bakers after watching two seasons of British bakeoff. I also lowered his expectations with my "Jack Dupp cake" project last month.

Our boy was blown away at how really good a cake is even possible. Huge ups to Olive and her sister Banana for rocking this cake proper.

 

We graduated from marriage counseling today.

 We graduated from marriage counseling today. Ever since last June,  almost a year ago we started meeting with Geena. It's every other week and usually lasts an hour. Plenty of laffs, crys, thrills and spills. Today after a half hour Geena says. "so....is there anything else? "Us. "Well now that we agree what way the TP roll should sit, we are good." We let Genna go to help others and said goodbye. 

That was a fun ride. Counseling doesn't keep your relationship together it just makes staying together a choice. 

Ode to Rugby Kid.

 Rugby kid. OMG. Two things i was never much into before the pandemic was driving and TV shows. Since then I'm in both a lot. I love driving but don't like giving money to oil companies. I was never much into tv because i like my own reality show better. Then I found the Jr Brittish Bakeoff. Therein I also found "Rugby kid." Rugby kid makes me smile. I love Rugby kid so much i shout encouragment at the tv screen. He is kind, smart and funny, he is very respectful of his fellow competitors but very disrespectful to concepts such as portion control, momentum, expectations, gravity and chemistry. He doesn't add anything to a bowl that dosen't splash out the other side. The producers make sure he has to carry things since he is sure to leave a trail spilling everything along the way. Even when he wrecks the whole deal he keeps a great attitude. Rugby kid is a calamity. In my opinion every choice RK makes is perfection. I couldn't wait to see what RK got into next. Then I made a sobering conclusion. His flame is burning too bright. Everything I like about Rugby Kid are the very same qualities that will keep him from winning. "Rugby Kid is gonna get voted off the island soon. CRAP! He is gonna start crying and then so am I. And that is exactly what happened. I know my champion will be ok. Still I wish I could have comforted him in his defeat or at least not seen that episode. I'm voting Rugby Kid to change shows to one that he can do better in "Nailed it" comes to mind. Since all rugby kid's food looks like unicorn vomit he should be on a show that will celebrate his chaos and creativity. Thanks for the laffs and feels RK!
