Okay, so I originally composed this on my birthday, but my computer went wonky and it was 3 am and I thought it was lost. Well, look! It wasn't. So here it is, 10 days later...
********
It's official. I made it through another year. Woo. Birthday is not off to a great start...well, okay, it is b/c I spent a few hours reading, which is my preferred activity (well one of them, anyway). But I have to spend part of my birthday tracking down the apartment manager to get my toilet fixed. *grumbles* And b/c I don't feel like doing it tonight, I'll have to clean litter boxes tomorrow too. Blech. Oh, well, my own fault.
I meant to do a wish list around the holidays, but got lazy and preoccupied and didn't do it. So I'm supposing I'll do one now. Maybe not as well thought out of one as I would like to do, but a little one nonetheless.
