How did you all know I wanted Blue Mississippi for my birthday?!?! Seriously, that was such a thoughtful gift, thank you.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Happy Birthday, Jess!

-t I hope you get yout phone back!
Happy Birthday Jess!!
So M has a shirt for the wedding. I have a new bra. I do not have shoes. We went to the mall and didn't hit Macy's because by that time we were tired. There is a DSW across from the mall we also didn't go to because we were tired. I am going there after work.
I just need a pair of black flats that aren't too expensive , too casual, and don't pinch my toes. Apparently that doesn't exist. Oh and some kind of cushioning.
I also need to get my hair cut. The procrastination tax is large for this wedding.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Happy Birthday Jess!

Happy birthday, Jess! SO generous of you to share the blue MS largesse with everyone!
No further communication from Lyft or the driver, I guess I should erase it but I kind of want to wait until I have the new one. I don't know what that impulse is about. IT was able to give me a code to use instead of the DUO push until Monday, which is mildly disappointing, having an excuse not to do the stuff I couldn't log into was sort of pleasant. So I guess I need to actually work today. Sigh
Also, after I ordered phone it occurred to me that I could have bought direct from Apple, so I checked. What I wanted, of course, was the ancient phone I had because I like it and Apple didn't have any of those, but they did have a refurbished iPad mini in the color I wanted so I went ahead and got that, Both of which more than wipe out the savings I was getting yesterday from the guy at the garage giving me a brake light assembly that he had laying around. So it goes.

But now you have a brake light AND an iPad! Though “no phone” sucks.
My brain keeps thinking it’s Friday for some reason? I wish.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am on Day 2 of the shingles vaccine kicking my ass.

Oof, that's a rough one, Dana. Better than shingles, though! I hope it eases up soon and you can laze about recovering in as much comfort as can be wrought.

True! I have less money but am happy with the goods and services I have exchanged them for! Anya would be proud
