Alice’s real birthday is next Wednesday. Today is really my mother’s birthday. Happy Birthday Mum!

The little girl has her party today. Four friends (including a treasured friend who moved to New Zealand last summer and is back for a visit at EXACTLY the right moment) for supper and much shrieking in the back yard, followed by Miyazaki movies. They chose The Cat Returns and Totoro. Sleep will be attempted. Kiki may be viewed in the morning, depending on time of rising and need for (relative) quiet for other house members.

I managed to make it through Family Circus class, but pulled my poor mugged chest muscles and was hunched with pain all afternoon. It seems to have eased some. I also made it to my Quilt Journal class, but left early to come get Alice and house ready for the party. Can I say how wise I was to make the cake yesterday? I was very wise.

Still. Need. More. Sleep.
