Feel so bad for Mini. We had a party yesterday and her local friends never showed up (a family with 4 kids). While we showed up for theirs. Thankfully Oma was here. But it was her first real party. Thankfully at 3 she hasn't processed the slight. Was so excited though. Even placed the bees herself.

Tomorrow is Nora's birthday party at school. I attempted muffins. She picked out the chocolate and I decided on vanilla, just in case.

I never said I was a baker.

Best sound in the world is hearing Mini and @creaturesh.bsky.social making muffins in the kitchen. The cheerful chatter, bonding time. And seeing Mercury all circled up after a delicious dinner. Some days are a struggle but this moment isn't.

For the uninitiated, this is a chili dog from the Varsity. I will fight for these after 5 years in Germany. I grew up at the Toco Hills location. Remember the old sit down TV chairs where you paid in quarters to watch.
The Varsity paper hat. Four hot dogs with hot dog chili and mustard on a soft bun. Signature red Varsity tray. Cold orange drink (special), apple pie/turnover. Plate with greasy, crunchy onion rings, and chilli dog covered in mustard.

Took a break and read @wendydalrymple.bsky.social's Credenza.

Solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read.

Pink southern Gothic horror that's got shades of The Witching Hour and 1960s satanic panic movies mixed with Florida history. Multigenerational moments. 1st POV.

Not a horror person but enjoyed the story.

Pink fabric textured background with a black credenza in the middle. Wendy Dalrymple name in black above and Credenza on the bottom. Creepy font.

I think we're part of the cat redistribution system now. Kitten's been hanging around lately. Assumed the new neighbors were owners but apparently not. We've named her(?) Suzy, which is a play on Süß. Which Mini has been calling the kitten.
Black and white young cat wrapped up in blue curtains on a window sill. Paw against window, snuggled and sleeping.

Posted a bunch of bookstore pics today. Not from an indie but my local Thalia shops do a great job of highlighting English books.

My April readathon is a combination of ARCs/library books and my quarter reading list. I may join the Laid Back Lit Club as well on Booksta. Always fun to fill out those Bingo Cards.

Everything else is mood reading.
