offcntr | Birthday report

Something Rotten was amazing. I'm always delighted to see how much talent a local theatre can access, and all the leads were stellar. The dancers were recruited from the local high school, and were damn good, and some of the costuming was brilliant.

We went to the Sunday afternoon matinee, got back to Eugene around suppertime, so decided to treat ourselves to a pre-birthday dinner out at Evergreen Indian Restaurant. Chicken makhani and rice for me, Chicken saag and tandoori bread for Denise, and bonus! I didn't have to cook supper.

Monday morning Denise tackled her secret baking project, so I went and worked on the van for Clay Fest, then came in to do some computer work while she went for her flu shot/Covid booster. Because her monthly arthritis infusion is a strong immunosuppresant, she has to schedule vaccinations as far apart from the infusion as possible, and the halfway point happened to land on my birthday.

Went out to dinner again, this time to Angkor Cambodian Restaurant, where we both had Beef Lok Lak. Very tasty.

Got a couple of birthday cards in the mail--one from an old college friend, others from insurance company and bank, but I also got my Medicare Advantage card, so that's sorted out.

Denise got me some Star Trek DVDs--Lower Decks and season one of Prodigy--so we'll have to schedule some viewing time. Haven't seen season two of Prodigy, may have to do a binge-subscription after New Years.

And the cake is delicious!
