Okay. JZ's wearing her super stylish, much-coveted new birthday hat. I fed her the meal of her choice (linguini in clam sauce) and she got a birthday carrot cake with candle.

Apparently, I get bupkiss.

My initial scan of your post read linguini as lingerie, which made your final statement not make sense.

You get a happy wife who's basking in her husband's love, making her more radiant than usual.

Yes, but none of those things are made of cake.

She's not happy. She's fretful and guilty because she didn't get me anything.

There is plenty of time to procure cake, just for the record.

She shouldn't be. Birthdays are best when the gift-giving and festivities are spread out over time, and not all crammed into one day.

Oh, I'm totally down with the extended birthday trick. I didn't say I was disappointed. She's making her own fret.

JZ! Stop that that right now! You're making a whole other person, isn't that enough to keep you busy?

Listen to the Fairy Gothmother. Besides, homemade fret does not go well at all with clams and carrot cake.

I got the all clear from the cardiologist. The up side is, of course, cardiac health and the possibility that I can be prescribed Cymbalta. The down side is...apparently I'm as healthy as a horse. Who gets multiple daily migraines.

Ah, well. I'll see the headache specialist in a couple weeks. I'd hoped sooner, but what can you do? She gave me this test pack of Provigil which cut right through the hangover I get every morning from the night's Neurontin/Elavil cocktail. I can be even morninger a person!

Did I kill the thread?

Okay, then I'll bore you all with my bounciness. My friend A. is over here now working on rewriting her resume and cover letter to send out in the morning. I'M SO EXCITED! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING! It would be a dream come true to teach in the same school with her--I can't even tell you.

ETA: Oops! X-post with ita. Glad you got a clean bill of health. Not so glad you're still in the dark about the migraines.
