Just spent most of my birthday evening lying on the couch, hoping that the room might stop spinning. Really not how I wanted to start the year. (And it's a pretty cool year, too. I'm a power of 2.)
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Tylenol & Butter Pecan Ice Cream, and sinuses feel a little better. Which is responsible? Now, let's hope these aches & pains go away soon. So far, no fever, so I guess that's good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ben & Jerry's is really getting creative these days.

Accomplished: Biyi's parents are back with us. This time permanently (Australia's immigration policy willing). Ryan is pretty much thrilled to see them again, but still broke down in tears at the prospect of going for a walk with them without Mummy or Daddy.

That is excellent news, billytea!

It is! Incidentally, they were talking politics with Biyi (who has heard far more from me than she ever wanted to know about the US election) in the car. Apparently they're happy Obama won, as Romney's positions on China didn't go over too well in that part of the world.

billytea, that is wonderful!
I am up, and I have had tea. My appointment with the personal trainer is in one hour. There is not enough words to describe my level of don't wanna right now, but I am going.

Oh, by the way, I offer this observation on my in-laws' priorities without comment. While they were last here, Biyi gave them her old laptop (so they could access their email account and Chinese news services and such). They took it back to China with them. However, when they came back, they left it there. They couldn't fit it into their luggage - if they had, they wouldn't have had room for the wok.
