Happiest happy birthday wishes to aurelia! I hope you are being spoiled today and that this year brings all that you hope for and more. (I have a bunch of wishes for your city too, but you know about those)
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Thrive to spite them
Happy belated brenda Day and Happy Aurelia Day!
We are headed home. I made a huge mistake and assumed I knew my schedule for this week and it had changed because someone else went on vacation. So I was supposed to be at work yesterday but I was not . Oops.
I only realized when a coworker texted me asking if I was ok.
I got some cool souvenirs at this little shop that had local art and antiques. And I saw this bracelet that I kept looking at and I bought. I'll post a picture on FB and IG. And then I was thinking about how fun it was to wear the jewelry at the Comicon and I went on What not and I bought a bunch of colorful bracelets and some necklaces. Some were $1 with free shipping. And I bought a skirt and a pair of wide leg pants from Shein that I had seen and decided before that they were pretty but not me. However I'm going to make them me.. I know Shein is terrible and I shouldn't buy there but it's also in my budget.
I have no shoes to go with them because I only have some sandals and sneakers but there is a plus size consignment shop on the way to the comic book shop that I'm going to start stopping in and seeing what I can pick up. I think with my body type the wide leg pants /fitted top look is going to work best for me. So I'm going to lean into that with colorful, bold pants and skirts and then the plain tops. And then colorful bold jewelry.
I've thought occasionally that I'm too boring or I don't have an interesting enough life but then I remind myself I'm perimenopausal and We Do Not Care.

Happy Birthday Aurelia!
I just returned the DVD of Mary Queen of Scots to the library unwatched because I was never in the mood for it in the past two weeks. Yet somehow I find the time to watch horror movies and Marvel animation. Oh well, at least I am actually reading the story collection I checked out, so my brain's not in total spoonfed junk food mode.

Happy belated to Brenda, and I haven't seen Aurelia lately, but hope her b-day is good too. I finished off Mom's birthday cake today so I guess I am in the spirit.

OMG a musical about the large hadron collider?! Very exciting, even without the personal connection!
Relieved you have a job, Jess. Those numbers are whack
The VP who is retiring at the end of the month/week brought in some fancy sweets for the building so I am enjoying a cannoli, no gun

Well, no, of course not. It had to be left behind.
