And AR had her 1st birthday celebration! It was a chocolate cake from Prolific Oven and she blobbed it all over herself. Will be some great photos!

I had a good time despite the cognitive fog that settled over me on my way there and during the event. Lots of stimulation for me to process. I found it disconcerting to have multiple conversations taking place--I was having difficulty tracking comments and remarks. I ended up sitting outside most of the time--the noise in the house was too much for me to deal with.

I felt a bit better once I had some food, which was delicious along with the cake. I ate a late breakfast, but my body seemed to want food when it came around.

D&D are living in a restoration project. He's done a lot of work on the place and there's more to be done. She said they lived for 6 months without a kitchen! Hearty souls!

It was a good celebration! AR should be out like a light by now (she was up most of the night). She is a camera bug! Loves the lens! Will be a good set of memories in her scrapbook.

I'll have to work on my party-attending skills. Have to learn to make the transition from hermit to grandfather more smoothly. It's an early to bed night! I did grab a nap when I came home, but need more horizontal time! Adieu!
