Due to last week's sudden meltdown of our silver van, (more later...) I have been a bit too busy with logistics and finding and buying a new vehicle and getting to work to follow through with anything super geeky for Andi's birthday.

I did, however, take tomorrow as a vacation day to spend with her.

We shall dine out and celebrate, wherever she wishes.

As she wishes.

Eek, omnis!! That's awful! May the easiest medical procedure go smoothly and work first, and nothing more complicated have to happen!! Ack!

Oh, omnis, I hope you feel better soon!

DCJ, my best wishes for a wonderful day tomorrow with Andi. And I hope that the car troubles are at an end.

omnis - wishing you the best.

and DCJ and Andi, have a great day

skipping ahead. Some health~ma needed. Appears I have a blocked colon. In a lil while they'll be shoving a tube up my nose to suck out the excess gas, which will reduce the pain, and hopefully dislodge the obstruction.

Isn't that - how do I put this delicately - kind of taking the long way around?

eek, omnis! I hope that isn't as owie as it sounds.

Yikes! Omnis, I hope everything comes out okay...er...um...as it were.

there shoving a tube up the nose. I don't imagine it will be pleasnt. Although the hospital staff are all real nice so far. It helps. Plus I got a nice private room now.

Its been one heck of a day. Learned the hard drive on my iMac died, and the odds are bad for data recovery. Then this. Oyvey.

It sounds cheesy, but the crescendo of birthday wishes here definitely made it a happier one. Thanks, y'all.

I quickly read 300ish posts to get to them. There are many congratulations, and yays for good news and job~ma that need to be said.

KristinT, here's some kitty~ma for those antibiotics to work well and quickly.

Alpha-bits.

Colon~ma for omnis.

Libkitty, I'm glad you like the scarf!
