Steph, that is no way to spend a birthday.
You know what, though? It's the only thing that's going to work. I'll probably be exhausted on my birthday anyway, because the night before (Tuesday) we have to go to the Moody Blues concert, outdoors, on the river, in 95 degree heat. (The concert? NOT MY IDEA. It's...a thing, and I'm happy to do it, but the timing could not be worse, is all I'm saying.) I'll be all dehydrated and tired from being out late, so Wednesday I'm probably just going to want to go home after work, chug gatorade, and pass out.
Bah.
I am just gonna say - YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ANYDAY YOU WANT IT TO BE!! CELEBRATE AWAY!!!!
no hugs from me though, no sir, not a bracket in site. I will however shake my fists at the universe.
In better Monday news, I'm just recalling some good parts of a dream I had last night involving Jason Bateman.

well, you could use the frame thing as a way to get out of it. I mean, it sounds like it's one of those things that you don't mind doing if there's nothing else going on, but now that it's making other things inconvenient, you should bail. Call it a birthday gift to yourself.

What msbelle said. Could you schedule something special during your trip? And if suggestions are unhelpful at this juncture, just scroll right on by.

I dreamt about Nicolas Cage. Trauma.
Someone tell the guy a cube over that appearing in
Boogie Nights
doesn't make you a porn star.
I just got to wash a particularly vile cat butt. Afterward, instead of being aloof and sulking off to lick her bruised dignity like most cats would, she wanted to be all lovey. I guess my patience with those frightened kittens (4 years ago?) has worked out.
Now I think I need to go to urgent care. I look like I've been punched in the face. For a couple of days I've had a streak along my cheekbone that was kind of red and itchy. Today it's really swollen. Here's hoping it's something simple and not too expensive to treat.
You know what's not reassuring. The name of the Chevron rig that is in even deeper water than the Deepwater Horizon is "Blind Faith". No, really.
