Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, meara!

Also, have you tried one of those lights?

Our wings are not tired.

No! Shame on Starbucks. They should be singing Happy Birthday to you not screwing up your order. Also, may the rest of your birthday be grand, -t.

I hope you get good answers, meara. Wish I could send you some sunshine. We got plenty to spare.

Yesterday was so much a Monday. Here's hoping to not get a repeat today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ha, thanks Laura. They were really nice about it and I appreciated that the guy actually knew what had happened to it, I just was trying not to be late because I have a hard deadline on Tuesday mornings now. But I got my orders down to the warehouse with 7 minutes to spare! Even with my poor coworkers desperately trying to get my cube decorated around me, poor things. I have to laugh - they brought over a balloon, a balloon weight, and a banner. The balloon is not attached to the balloon weight, it's just floating against the ceiling while the balloon weight its all alone on my shelf not tethering anything. So metaphorical.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I went to the bakery after dropping ltc off at school this morning and bought way too many things, an I remembered to hold the mail and newspaper for vacation this weekend. We're going to Mom's after we pick up ltc on Friday and staying until Monday. TCG and I have theater tickets and dinner reservations for Sunday, and it is easier to just be somewhere where we have built in sitters. We may even try to see a movie or two over the weekend.

That sounds like a good weekend, sj!

Happy birthday, -t!

Thanks, Jesse. I'm going to find time to see Birds of Prey whether or not TCG wants to go.

Oh yeah, now I want to see that, too!

Yay, sj! I'm thinking I might see Star Wars and Birds of Prey tonight after work. I might not be up for that long of a stretch in the theater, though, we'll see.

Happy birthday t!

I do have a happy light and I have not been using it. Good reminder (though not nearly the same as actual sunshine sadly)

Thanks, Jesse and meara!

I keep forgetting it's my birthday because I am so stressed about work. No bueno
