Happy birthday

Someone had a birthday today, and it was, in some ways, most wonderful. With intermittent pain.

Got her a nice book on a subject she's been wanting to get her Master's in. It turned out to be just the right one.

Ultraboy was on his best behaviour, and helped in the cooking and cleaning that was done. His value on this day cannot be overstated. He was dazzling.

The two youngest showed a remarkable amount of enthusiasm.

I made homemade pizza, with the help of UB, along with a cake and frosting. Our neighbors gave us a vacuum and some more vegetables. We gave them zucchini bread.

The vacuum is a loan, really, but without interest. Save that I will bake more bread for them in the future.

I go off to a job I got in 5.5 hours. I should sleep about now.
