It's a beautiful blue sky day where I am, but cool at 48 F (9 C). It's supposed to get hot as the week progresses.

It's kind of funny. Hubby bought me two fans (different sizes) plus a new hair dryer (basically a third fan) and a cooking spoon I asked for. I get hot a lot, which explains the fans. I'll try to take it easy today. Hubby said he'll order my birthday dinner tonight. We'll see what it will be. I made a Malakov trifle for myself and him. It's a bowl full of indulgence, containing a rich chocolate mousse with vanilla wafer "sandwiches" held together with raspberry preserves, almond slivers, banana slices, and orange segments then topped with sweetened plain homemade whipped cream and fresh raspberries for decoration. Not low cholesterol!

This is the last year of my 40s. It's mind boggling how time flies. I feel very young in some ways, and my age in others. This whole covid-19 situation is a bit of a downer, indeed. I hope next year is much better.

We received a shipment of food from an online grocer. Somehow the banana order was screwed up. We have 18 bananas! Bpcyclist, need any more late night snacks? Actually, I just found a recipe I'll use when 6 of them are very ripe. Caramelized Banana Ice Cream. I'll pull out my ice cream maker.
