Return of the Jedi. (And by Jedi, I mean bironic.)
It are my birthday. I failed to make a vid or write a story or post vacation pictures to mark the occasion, but (1) vacation pictures are coming, and (2) today turned out pretty great. I:
- Acquired some delicious corn and tomatoes at the farmers market that I hadn't been able to get to very much this year
- Talked to my sister on the phone
- Saw half of a mediocre production of Twelfth Night out on the Boston Common
- Scored a free scoop of ice cream from Ben and Jerry's
- Had a super yummy meal at a tapas restaurant nearby that I hadn't tried yet, with classy waitstaff who gave me a couple of dishes on the house
- Received two actual physical birthday cards
- Opened a box from my mom that contained things like socks (our family is like Dumbledore) and a plastic tumblr [ETA: ha, just noticed the typo] tumbler with cartoon monsters on it
- Sat on the back deck with the scent of someone's woodsmoke in the air and read a few more chapters of A Dance with Dragons
\o/
Thursday and Friday were nutty with jet lag disorientation. Plus I returned home to find a host of small changes like a new bike lane in the street and our office admin's dramatic new haircut and supermarket employees protesting the ouster of their beloved CEO. Most surreal of all, I pitched polyamory to my mom as a solution to the teen drama she is apparently now living.
\o/?
And now, to bed.
