My birthday was yesterday, whoop-whoop. I'm not much of a birthday person. I made a batch of almond flour gingersnaps and ate all but three of them and that was nice. Other than that, meh. I'm happy for people who do enjoy them (although I will never remember to send you a card), they're just not my thing (also having a birthday in the dead of winter is a drag for party planning).

I am outrageously fatigued and experiencing not-insignificant levels of executive function failure. I used "unappropriate" in a conversation this morning.

I'm leaving for an eye exam at 2:00 today where they have to dilate my pupils. It sometimes takes me days (at least overnight) to recover anything resembling normal vision after that so I'm looking forward to an evening of sitting in darkness with loud music, doped out of my mind.

Gawd, I hear all of this. Sympathies from the virtual-'verse. I'm not too big on birthdays either, enjoy gluten-free baking, am tired today (it's rainy and cold and gray here and bleh), and hate hate having my eyes dilated.

In the words of Scarlett O'Hara, "Tomorrow is another day". I sincerely hope the world is better for you tomorrow.

BTW, this is the cookbook with the gingersnaps recipe. I've had good luck with all the sweet things in this cookbook, but the savory ones have been hit and miss.

Ooh. Thanks!
