Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

I am baking cookies. It smells good in here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching White Christmas, and just noticed something -- why on earth does the General blow out candles on a cake at the end? It's not his birthday! Bizarre.

I've got my tree out, but not decorated, and I still have no idea what to buy half the people on my Christmas list. Argh.

The status is NOT quo.

I never thought about that before. That is kind of weird, isn't it? I love that movie so very much.

I made yummy coffee and am flopped on the couch.

These are sweeter than I remember. However, since I haven't actually eaten any of the batches I've made in the last year, it may be my memory at fault. Or the chocolate was sweeter. Eh. They're good cookies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have done four loads of laundry and my hair is cut and bleaching.

Yes, ladies and gents, ita's home.

Migraine specialist said a little birdie told him I had a party to go to tonight, and he couldn't convince the anaesthiologists to do what he wanted anyway, so Burrell came and sprung me. And took me to a pharmacy (3rd time's the charm) to boot, so I can be pain-freeish tonight.

I have a corset to wear tonight. I miss that opportunity, and fuck the terrorists, the migraines have won. And they won't, not tonight.

Good for you, ita.

Yay, ita!

The migraine terrorists can fuck off and die.

I'm glad you are able to make your party.

Krav those migraine terrorists, dammit! Good for you, ita.

In the email message that accompanied the gift I gave my brother, I wrote a really bad (and I mean really really bad. My almost 5 year old nephew could do better) stupid variation on the birthday song (involved telling him he belongs in a zoo.)

Anyway, he started laughing so hard when he read it, I couldn't understand him. It wasn't that it was clever, it was that it "was so pathetically bad!"

I'm oddly proud of this. Mainly because it made him laugh.
