Recovery Awaits

Per a 6:30 a.m. flight this morning, my god daughter's winging her way 'back East' as I write. I'm suspecting that the house will be a bit quieter in the coming days, weeks and months (years?)...

As I mentioned in a previous post, we found that a lack of energy accompanied the week. No matter. Sleep is now an option.

Of course I'm still wired from all the sugar I've consumed over the past seven days. For example:

We ended up celebrating her 10th birthday early and make a wickedly chocolate cake that give me a cavity from just sitting there on its plate. I don't have much of a sweet tooth as it is, but this monster had three layers of the aforementioned chocolate, with marshmellow centers and chocolate chips mixed in the devil's food frosting.... wow.. just recalling it leads me to a celery-craving...

Insulin charge aside, we had a great time having Sarah visit and getting to know her now that she's growing up.
