work, broccoli, and cake.

Work is just plain sucking this week. The internet went down for the third time this week, and almost everything I do is online. If I don’t do my job, people don’t get paid–and obviously I’ve got strict deadlines. So instead of heading home to relax I gathered up the things that I had to finish today and hauled them home, where I spent another two hours working before the system closed. I finished everything, but just barely. At least I’m going to be getting time for it.

I didn’t finish until 7, which was okay because Firefly was just getting up. I’m not even sure what we did, other than talk about some plans for this weekend’s trip. And she put in some laundry. Which I need to go check on…

Oh, and she realized that she’s got a food aversion: broccoli. More specifically, raw broccoli heads. The stems are fine, but for some reason she’s really not wanting to eat the rest–which is just fine for me, because I don’t like the stems. But, it’s interesting.

After she left I made my icing and frosted the cake. I think it tastes yummy by itself, and it’s even better with the cake top that I cut off so it’s a nice combination. I decided to make a layered cake, so I split each cake into two for four layers total. I think I made the icing just a smidge on the thin side, but it seems to be holding up fine. We’ll see tomorrow!
