All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just got investment spam from a domain that showed up as "interbu..." I had to click because my mind instantly read "interbunny"

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Oh, horsey portion of the hivemind....
Let's say a man in my novel wanted to give a woman a lift on his light cavalry charger. Would he boost her onto the horse and mount afterward? Or if there was someone else there to assist, would our cavalry officer mount first and have the other guy help the woman? And would it be easier for her to sit in front of the rider or behind? FWIW, this is a non-sexual situation, since the woman is the officer's cousin and has been a widow for something under an hour. I just need to get them onto the horse so I can wrap up the scene smoothly.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congratulations to the haydens! Welcome Abraham! As an Illinois resident, I can't help but notice that he was born on the eve of Lincoln's birthday. (Unless he was born after midnight -- in which case - he shares Lincoln's birthday.) An auspicious time for Great Abes.
My younger brother shares his birthday with Lincoln. And Darwin. And the discovery of the fossilised remains of the world's oldest vomit.
Some of these items may have resonance with his birthday celebrations last night.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Do they celebrate Lincoln's birthday in Australia? Because we don't even celebrate it in the US anymore.

So if the older woman with bad eyesight who lives in my building leans over so she can stare at my laundry when we are in the elevator, I'm allowed to nickname her Creepy Old Woman, right?

Happy Birthday, Kristin! Happy Birthday, MFNlaw! Happy Birthday, Baby Hayden!

So cool! So fun! So PINK! Lucky. I just had to go console myself by buying a vanilla latte from Starbucks.

Lord no. We have a day off for the Queen's birthday (about a month after her actual birthday, FWIW).

Hi Lee! Things are up and down. Youngest brother's moved into the apartment, that's good. We're all in Canberra right now, for my nephew's christening. Haven't seen older brother, but he still manages to cast a shadow over events. Oh, and my neck has worsened after spending the night in a strange bed (a futon, to be precise). That sucks mightily.
How are you going?
