I'm not going to Asheville this week. If I could shift the trip by even one day, I'd go, but I can't. I'm pooped. In order to leave this morning, I'd need to move mountains and I don't have that energy. Plus I really, really need time at home to finish planning our trip for next week. Hubby is going tomorrow because he can stay longer (I have volunteer training this week). Energy is low because of a lot of work, hormones and SUGAR.
This re-configures the entire week -- in a good way. I want some Asheville time, but I NEED to be home more. Asheville will be there in May.
The HBD party went really well. The cakes were a lot to finish though. All 3 icings needed to be rewhipped and assembled. I made it -- just barely. The cake was delicious -- Cakes by Courtney. She has outstanding recipes. I had 3 variation for everyone's food sensitivities. (I still can't figure out why the pictures load backwards.)

| Cake jumped ship! I cut slices to freeze and this last one fell over. |

| Not level, but good looking. |

| All the choices. |
 |
| Messy drip, but I didn't have a drip bottle. |

| Crumb coat |

| Trying to pretty it up |

| Assembly chaos. |
Now for a re-entry day today. Even though I didn't go anywhere, I need a transition day. It's a day where you get organized enough and do enough to be able to start back to regular life -- tomorrow.
That's today. And I'm taking care of myself too. Peloton ride, gardening, reading -- no rush, no fuss.
BTW, I finished this last night. 5/5 -- excellent book.
Hope you're off to a good start on this Monday. Later gators.
