Many happy returns of the day, Shir! I hope the coming year brings more peace and joy
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy birthday, Shir!
Teppy, I hope treatment for Tim and PT for you go well.
I have something new for my resume (and/or bingo card). Tonight is the performance of the first Indigenous Drag Show I've ever lit.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thank you, all. This year I have low energy to plan or do anything, and it really does feel out of place to celebrate anything, but I went with a few friends for a dinner yesterday and it was really nice. And yet, I do not wish for a single moment to sit back and reflect on the mostly horrible year that we're having here politically, or that I've had personally. I'm focusing on relocation and finding a job abroad in order to do so, and after that maybe I'll be able to sit back and reflect on the past two and a half years.
Better times will come, but we still have a war to stop. I sure hope it could have been easier or faster, but it is not easy nor fast to stop a blood spiral, especially a kind of a spiral with the logic that more death/dehumanization is the answer to previous death/dehumanization. And I hear that you in the US are not having easy times (politically) as well - I'm sorry about that.
Much ~ma to everyone here, and extra health~ma to Tim and to sj's stepdad.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm glad you were able to enjoy some time with friends, Shir. Both of our governments are horrific, and I don't see any changes at the top happening anytime soon. Sending the ~ma for you to find the perfect place to relocate and get some stress relief.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Shir!
Yesterday was our 21st anniversary. We exchanged cards and gifts, but that was the extant of the celebrations. Yesterday was also the "official" birthday of the kitties, who are no longer considered kittens.
Healing ~ma to Tim.
My knee is back to what passes for normal for me. I stopped wearing the brace Tuesday and finished the prescription ibuprofen yesterday.
