Muahahaha.

( I've put the rest of this under the cut, because my more stringently religious readers might not appreciate the joke at the end. )

Those of you who are newer to my journal probably have not seen my Turtle story.  I wrote it in 2008, just lolloping along as my imagination took me, and a little (and somewhat erratic) story evolved.  For your ease of viewing, and as a sort of apology for not posting as much as I want (I've been "out of spoons", as they say), here is the series of ( Read more... )

It's my birthday today - I'm 41.

I don't feel 41; I don't really feel any particular age.  Some days I'm 20, some days I'm 90 (thanks, pain!), and some days (okay, most days) I'm a teenage boy.

Yes, I have a juvenile sense of humour.

But today I feel simply a bit fragile, as I'm in migraine recovery mode, where my head might start hurting any ( Read more... )

I got nothing but wonderful gifts this year - from Bob, of course, because he's never given me a bad gift, but also from friends, who have given us beautiful and/or useful gifts that will be much enjoyed.  In fact, it's been years since I've gotten a really awful gift that simply couldn't be turned around somehow.

*of course, including anyone who reads this who lives in a country that doesn't officially have the day off.  For my AUS/NZ readers, I hope it's a lovely sunny ( Read more... )

Well, goodness.  It's been a while, but then, I haven't been to work since before I went to Plimoth.  This is the longest I've ever been off work since I started, and now I don't think I remember how; at the very least, it's impossible to get anything done the week of Christmas/New Year's. We're going to the farm NY's day, after a party up here.  ( Read more... )

I'm not hungry.

For the first time in three months, I'm not hungry. It is the best feeling ever.

I'm serious - you know how when you've been out hiking all day in the cold, and you come back indoors, and you think you're really hungry for a good dinner, and then you smell the really awesome stew that's cooking on the stove, and suddenly you ( Read more... )

Since there was some interest (a tiny bit) in the saga of my little turtle... ( Slow and steady... )

So, I said pictures, right? Let's start with the outfit I wore out clubbing on Friday. I picked up the dress in London at an amazing vintage store near Waterloo station called Radio Days (way cheaper than anything you'll see around Portobello Market).  I went there on my birthday, then again the next time I was in England, and found this dress, ( Read more... )
