Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

HA, ita. That's actually kind of cute and adorable and odd all at the same time.

I don't have good experiences with my birthday and medical procedures.

I'm on day 4 in a row of yoga. I can't believe how badly out of shape I am.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh ita, they should not charge you for a procedure if they are going to torture you at the same time. (but I would have sung to you too)

ita, a few days, a few weeks, a few months. I wish for the interval to be so long you don't remember the last time you were forced to go to the ER. Pain free in 2009.

This. Time a hundred. Laura said it beautifully.

Where is Roy's? And restaurant singing Happy Birthday to anyone over 10 should be outlawed.

Wow Kat, that sounds like a nice way to celebrate her birthday. I've never heard of Roys before but of course you know I googled it.

“Not dead yet!”

OH! We took my mom to Roy's for her birthday dinner this week.

Roy's as in Roy Yamaguchi's? We have one out at the beach here and that's where Lewis and I went for our anniversary. It was a really lovely space and dinner was divine, although I have to laugh/cringe at the Florida penchant for going into pretty much any restaurant in shorts and a knit shirt with a collar and calling it dressed up.

Am up and out of the house. It is cold. Didn't stop me from getting an iced coffee. I am going to knit while mac karates. I have not done any knitting since Christmas.

I am going to try to hold out for 3 weeks before I get a fill. I am sure I notice the growth more than others. I will repaint myself today, maybe a deep red.

I have been up and out, and it's not as cold as I thought it would be. It's still cold, though.

And I still haven't had a shower. I decided that having a shower would make me delay so long I wouldn't make it to the Farmer's market, so I put a hat on over my greasy hair and went.

No shower for me either. Sat is for stinky.

Four people in a one bedroom apartment is about three too many. I know I'm getting better because I'm really getting antsy.

This was the lovely hat I was covering my greasy hair with: [link]

Megan made it for me. It's more teal than it looks in the pictures. I love the colour. I want to be that colour.
