I am almost in tears with how much I want this. I'm so pointlessly sore and tight all through the back.
I took a really hot shower. Amazing how that really wasn't the same at all. Now I am clean but still tight and sore. With stupid hair because I didn't do anything to it after the shower.
Cass do you have a heating pad? Alternating heat and cold works well for me.
Laga, would you accept belated birthday wishes from a complete stranger on the internet who didn't even post that much with you?
I accept all birthday wishes! Thanks Nilly!
And it's not belated. It's still my birthday for 11 more minutes and I will keep celebrating until February 1st.
I need a new heating pad. I have a gel one that microwaves but I need something that plugs in. I shall go nuke now.
a complete stranger on the internet who didn't even post that much with you?
But a *wonderful* stranger on the internet.
Hi, Nilly!
And it's not belated.
Yay for different timezones!
I will keep celebrating until February 1st
Yay for celebrating!
I celebrate my birthday according to the Jewish calendar, which doesn't always fit the general one. So it's like we officially have a birth-several-days rather than a single birthday.
[Edited to: Cass! How wonderful to post with you! How are you doing?]
Good. I am settled mostly into living in Portland and the whole Pacific Northwest experience. There was snow! Craziness! It's good. Still getting used to it, but I like it.
I know some cool people in Portland. It seems like a pretty great place to live.
I got home in time to give juliana and Emily rides home. JZ socialized with them and ate Italian food and drank champagne and watched
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
but I got to be the taxi service.
Which is fine because they were both uhm...voluble.
Also they both saw the fuh-reaky present my sister got for Matilda and were appropriately aghast.
Hey Nilly!
Happy birthday, Laga.
Thanks DavidS. I had a great day.
