Happy birthday, Erika!
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy birthday, erika!
How is nephlet 27? Sounds like a great wedding.
It seems unpossible. I watched his birth. But he's grown into a good man.

Happy Birthday, erika!
Happy Couple of Days Belated Birthday, Nora!
I'm basically the Beckmeyer family wedding officiant now.
I love that, Steph.
We adopted a sweet pup yesterday (she's 11, but small, so I keep calling her a puppy), Birdie, and I had a dentist appointment and attended a med appt. with DH already today. What the what? Too much adulting for one morning!

Husband and I got flu and covid shots. He passed out afterwards (which he's done with shots before, though not as an adult), so that was a fun few minutes. Paramedics came and checked his vitals, and he's fine. Conveniently, there was also a doctor there getting his shots, so we had him if needed.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Another rough day at therapy trying to change the mindset about how people perceive me which I’ve had for at least 40 of my 46 years. I still have no idea how to do that no matter how many times it’s explained to me.

Yikes, Dana. I’m glad he’s okay.

Ooof, sj, that’s a big task indeed.
Monday is going okay except that I, as always, am not getting through my work as fast as I’m supposed to. I think it’s perfectionism slowing me down, but I try and try and I just can’t seem to hit the timing.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Yikes, Dana. I’m glad he’s okay.
What sj said!!
I picked up a bug at the RenFaire this weekend (not Covid!) and so am operating around 50% capacity, which seems about right for a cold rainy Monday. At some point today I will accept delivery and installation of a new washing machine, which I sincerely hope will not be a complete piece of garbage like the one it's replacing. (New Machine is a Maytag, which always makes me think of ita by the transitive properties of Colin, and which I think is probably good luck.)

PUPPY!

Thanks for the wishes...I've had a little cake. Good for you on the puppy, Jen.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Happy Birthday, erika!!!
