Happy birthday, msbelle
And sending love and support to Consuela, exhausted sounds about right
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ha, I figured out how to do our passport photos myself rather than paying $15 at the drugstore. Go me.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for not falling apart and having a nice gathering, Consuela.

The kids were discussing that with me and I told them to just look for a coupon or something and go to the drugstore. How did you do them? Even with my drug store variety the passport office took exception to my not totally open eyes. Hey, I have very puffy eyelids, can't help it without surgery! They are pretty fussy.

Well, I suppose the photos might still get rejected. We used an Apple app that helps you frame the pictures and gives you image files in the correct size. Then I uploaded them to Walmart's photo thing and had them printed. Cost 31 cents.

I'll give them the option anyway. Thanks.
eta: My eyes are really pretty closed. The photo dude did it a couple times and had me open them wide.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Thank all of y'all.
I came home from lunch and fell asleep in my recliner and then went to bed until 7:30. I am blaming the weather front moving through - those take me out. Now big storms and tornado sirens. we are sitting in the hallway with the doors all shut until it passes.

Stay safe, msbelle.
Sweet apartment turned out to be a scam, thank goodness for local feedback (my coworker lives around the corner and knows the situation). But I'm super sad. That makes three promising properties that were bunk.

Lordies, my filterless cousin (who I love, but yell at a lot) is in one of his moods on my Facebook. Scolding and deleting. Do not engage.

Had a lovely brunch today with many Buffistae to celebrate the presence of Scola.
megan walker tracked down a fantastic Southern fare place in the Tenderloin that could handle us all. I had an insanely tasty smoked brisket hash with a poached egg. So good!
Got to see minus-t, and many other localistas. Fun was had.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've heard a trick is to close your eyes and for the photographer to give you a count of three to open them.
It seems my sardonic tone doesn't come across on FB, but I'm very amused at having the occasion to use "You mistake me, sir." I may adopt this style more often.
