Day 1257: Crabs!

Today was my birthday! I tried to make it easy and get crabs and cupcakes but the bakery wouldn’t let us reserve cupcakes because they were having a fundraiser and all the crab place had were smaller crabs. The little crabs were good and the cupcakes worked out (the blackberry cheesecake ones were really tasty!) but it was unexpectedly stressful because for a while there it looked like we weren’t getting either.

It was a gorgeous day out but our neighbors spent the day doing wood chipping so it was so loud in the yard while we were trying to eat. They finally stopped for a bit in the afternoon so we went out to play a board game and they started again. Doesn’t anyone else want to enjoy their yards and the weather? When do you get a low humidity, 82° day in August in Baltimore?

It’s exhausting because we aren’t dining indoors at restaurants for obvious reasons so I was excited to have great weather to eat outside and relax instead of being indoors all the time. Instead I got a migraine from the noise and had to spend the afternoon in a dark room.

For dinner we got some fancy sushi.

At least the rest of the week was successful?! We have one more day left then it’s back to work. Fingers crossed that goes well.

Today wasn’t horrible but it really wasn’t the chill, fun, easy day we had planned.
