9.8 at 03:30. Down to 8.4 before breakfast. Still going down.
As usual I'm pretty tired and sore after my baking and cooking spree plus going to the party. I find that I can't hear most of what adults are saying because I miss the lower tones these days. On the other hand I find the high pitched voices of children, especially when they're having fun, quite painful to my ears. As you say, Ian, smile and wave... and pretend you can understand what others are saying (much better than constantly having to say "sorry, I didn't catch that". Neil gets enough of that from me. He has a problem, which I believe is common in Asperger's, of having very sensitive hearing so he speaks very quietly (mumbles) and hates loud noises or voices. Turns out my brother is the same as me, as was our mother and her mother.
I was delighted to see that everyone enjoyed the food I had taken. Half of the big cake was eaten and what remained was divided up between 2 or 3 people who couldn't get to the party. That gives me my greatest pleasure. Well worth the effort and the pains.
