I'm currently on brand, but a disaster

unicornduke So I got back from work meeting yesterday, walked the dog and then made two types of cake, a triple batch of pastry cream and some strawberry jam.
It only took me four hours or so.
things I did not think about: I'm dropping some of this at the A farm this afternoon, which is closer to work than the apartment. So I needed to make ganache and assemble the cakes this morning. Which I did. After walking the dog and getting over an hour of sidejob work done.
I forgot to eat breakfast except for a lot of pastry cream.
Why am I like this.
But either way, I'm leaving work a little early, dropping flax seeds and cake at A farm, heading home, packing up and heading to PA. It's supposed to rain today but not more than a half inch, so I should be able to rototill my field tomorrow afternoon. I'll lay out the row markers and get all my supplies around in the morning.

Perfectly cromulent breakfast!
That's a really busy day; hope it goes excellently, none of the freezing rain (freezing rain all day here) makes it down there, and your field hasn't been sogged.

yeah, it's not supposed to be super duper icy, but there's potential for it. But a half inch isn't much given that it's been relatively dry so far. I'm hoping it's not too bad! (and watching the weather radar very closely)
