Yesterday was not a terribly productive day. It was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gaudynight78's birthday,* so once I finally got Peter to daycare, went back to bring him the pacifier he'd dropped en route, gone running, failed to rendezvous with G to pick up his stroller (long story...), and gotten myself out the door, I had only a limited amount of time to get actual work done before I had to go home to bake her some Delicious Cake for the tea party we were organizing for the event.
Also, I got distracted by my back-burner project to create an alternative game board for Risk, that would a) eliminate the wrap-around connection between Kamchatka and Alaska, and b) re-style the whole affair as a medieval civil war. I spent most of the evening (after the guests had gone home and I'd made a dent in the dishes, that is) drawing, erasing, swearing at, and re-drawing maps.
Today is shaping up to be much the same, but hopefully the next few hours will be better.
Meantime, we now have vast quantities of cake, since not only did I bake one, but both coffee hours on Sunday presented her with others, and a guest yesterday brought still another. At this rate, we're going to be eating cake up until the Christmas plum pudding.**
* A fact that I meant to post on here yesterday. Yet another thing I failed to get done.
** Still a very theoretical pudding at this point, but potential. Depends on number of guests, their opinions on plum pudding, and whether I can get my ass in gear in time.
