That is pretty darn awesome, Susan! That would give me a big happy too!

I am doing laundry so I have clothes to wear on my trip to Indy. Sadly, I really didn't plan well enough, and the library doesn't open until after I leave today. ARGH. The 1pm-8pm hours (these are only some days of the week) were great when I was working and wanting to go after work, but are not great when I'm trying to get there in the morning! I have a book on hold that arrived, and I"m afraid they may send it back before I have a chance to pick it up. Also, this means I don't have a chance to go get new books to read.

Punishingly Intricate

Happy birthday, Steph! Am TOTALLY jealous of your beach vacation. My family's been to Topsail a few times and I love it there.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Felicitations, Teppy dear, on the Anniversary of Your Natal Day. May it be filled with all the things (and people, and critters) dearest to your heart. Plus, cake! With candles, and confetti, and damn, sparklers, even. We all deserve a cake with sparklers. I declare it mandatory for those who wish.

A year full of good work, good friends, love, intellectual and physical challenges to master, and the glow of accomplishment. Mazeltov! I lift my glass in your honor.

(My glass contains OJ at the moment, but it's the gesture, not the substance, that's important right now) Happy Birthday, love. And thanks again for saving my life--and my throat!

Happy birthday Steph! hope you're having fun ... and that your gastric distress has gone away (and don't feel too bad about calling the doctor - I was once in the emergency room and someone in the next section was being told she was constipated ... and given instructions on how to deal with it).

Mostly lurking...

Anyway, the second citation in the OED for my word was by...the very person who uses it in my story. Total researchgasm for me, though I have a feeling I'd draw nothing but blank stares if I tried to explain the utter coolness of this discovery to my coworkers during the chatty part of our staff meeting that's about to start.

Oh, goodness. That is SO cool. SO cool. That would make me more than happy myself.

I was just about to post that the rain finally stopped, but it seems to have started again. Apparently it was bad enough to pop up man hole covers all over the city. Oh, well. It's too late to go to the farmer's market anyway, and I doubt anyone showed up in this weather.

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

That would make me more than happy myself.

Would it make you CBD happy? No--don't answer that. There's no reason you should ever have to choose. Happy should be additive, not comparative. It's just cute to see you so...effulgent.

Happy birthday, Tep!

This is just awesome, ita.
