Happy Birthday, Perkins! I wish I could help you celebrate in person!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Liese, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

How are you pushing your luck

Tapering down to a lower AD dosage while reminding myself every day to call for a shrink appointment and not doing it. Never having had a mammogram, at age 47. Not putting any money in savings. Not trying harder to lose the weight before it causes me health problems. Working really fast to keep up and praying nothing (else) slips past me.

Happy birthday, Perkins!

not your mom's socks.

Happy birthday, Perkins!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Birthday Happies Perkins!!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I could get an audio clip of Misha Collins saying "Confetti! It's a parade!" over and over, with vuvuzuelas in the background. Sound good? And sparkle text the main titles.

It would be epic... for about 3.5 seconds. Then my head might explode.

So... I had my interview. I think it went okay, best interview I've given but that's a low bar. If I don't get it, I think my framing rustiness will be the reason, but that's something I can polish up pretty easily and it's a growing organization. I should hear something Monday. Now to spend the weekend crunching budget numbers.

In possibly related news, apparently five people have just been laid off in the department that pays my bills, which is not the one I work with, but... now could be the time.

Because books.

Happiest of birthdays, Perkins! With cake and much love!

Happy birthday, board! How old are we?

Happy birthday, Perkins!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Um Zen, you need to make some calls. I am happy to harass you until you do, or to even do some legwork for you to make it happen. It's 9:30 here now. I expect to hear that you have called a shrink before noon my time. DO NOT MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Never having had a mammogram, at age 47.

Forget the rest. Schedule the mammogram.

I'm pushing my luck on many fronts, but the small, annoying pushing my luck right now is the very loud noise my dryer is making. It sounds bearingish and I'm afraid running the dryer will make it worse, but I'm doing it anyway.
