Super Happy Birthday to the Lovely Laura!
Much -ma, Omnis!
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

My mother just punctured her finger slightly on the staple holding together a magazine. It was not a bad puncture, but did bleed slightly. She has had a tetanus in the past five years. I don't need to take her emergency tonight or urgent care tomorrow do I?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
only need tetanus booster every 10 years, IIRC
eta: and if it bled, that's a good thing, since the blood helps rinse out bacteria. I wouldn't bother with a Dr unless it starts showing signs of infection.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday, Laura!
Quick Ryan report: we went to the supermarket today. He likes this, they have little trolleys for kids. As usual, when we passed the DVD section, he stopped to look for superhero movies. (They had Iron Man 3 and Spiderman 3.) Meanwhile, I noticed they had Under the Tuscan Sun, which I hadn't seen there before, so I picked it up to have a look. Ryan's curiosity was piqued.
Ryan: "What's that movie, Daddy?"
Me: "It's called Under the Tuscan Sun. This woman goes to Italy, and she falls in love."
Ryan: [eyes get very big] "She FALLS IN LAVA?!"
So if Hollywood is interested, Ryan has an idea for a remake that I think could be pretty big.

I think Ryan is on to something - Hollywood should remake all love stories into lava stories.
In other news, parades! Went to the daytime ones yesterday, but skipped the night ones. Tom was inexplicably as drunk as I'd ever seen him, which was pretty entertaining. Aw, cutie drunk Tom.
More parades today, though right now it doesn't seem as nice and sunny as it was yesterday. Hopefully that will change as the morning progresses.
Oh! I had my first neti pot experience yesterday! Trying to make sure this cold doesn't develop into a sinus infection, and it's just a way to keep everything clear. Although I was kind of grossed out by the concept before, I think it is helping.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Don’t get the brain amoebas, Nora!!

Don't worry, I'm using bottled distilled water!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The neti pot is definitely a weird experience. But on the whole I find the results to be enjoyable enough to overcome the modest amount of unpleasant weirdness. Not like the technique of making a paste of warm water, salt and baking soda to snort - which my ENT told me about when I was a teenager with a nasty sinus infection. Yeah, it clears the sinuses alright, but day-um it stings INSIDE YOUR HEAD for several minutes.

Our wings are not tired.
I can't tell if I'm more envious of Laura for having a smonster, or of smonster for having a Laura.
And I have a Zenkitty!
Thank you for all the birthday wishes. It has been wonderful to kick back and enjoy the attention. My sister surprised me and came down from Otter Lake. Wonderful for my mom to have her 4 chickies all here together. And my SIL surprised us and came from Staten Island, sol MIL has all of her 4 chickes together too. Then a cousin unexpectedly came from Nebraska. Very nice.

Please send along traffic~ma for smonster for clear roads and weather. She must be exhausted. Long day yesterday with beach and party then she was off for the long ride back to NOLA early this morning. She deserves clear skies and roads. I can't begin to express how delighted I was that she and Zen made the trek to Florida to join me for this 60th celebration.
