Ha-hey, whining works! People were nice to me all day and I only had to grizzle a little bit about not grizzling. Quiet day at work, got some stuff done, lllpinkylll gave me a scrolling-marquee birthday wish on her LJ, went to coffee on Friday night with Goth friends, kiri_bean gave a Nanaimo Bar with a candle on it, and seaofrain gave me a book by BF Skinner on growing old gracefully.
I also found a neato suit at Value Village, kind of like a tailor-made WW II battledress suit: weird khaki colour, short jacket, epaulettes, etc.. Have to lose a bit off my waist before it will be comfortable though, it was tailored for a "triangle" body, with very long arms, and I'm a normally-armed "cylinder". I'd had my eye on it for a while, but they knocked ten bucks off the price - almost as good as waiting for Half Price Day. As it was I had to trail this goofy-looking guy who grabbed it off the rack five seconds before I got there, to see if he would try it on and abandon it. He did.
Tonight I get an Obligation Pie - apple, at that! Not exactly a Grudge Pie, as I was thinking last night. And chicken - can't go wrong with Dirty Bird, as we used to call it in the Army. (ooph, listen to that oldster nodding off on the porch again...ugh ugh he's drooling I'm not gonna touch him he dirtied himself this morning already...)
And tomorrow is Prophecy IV, looking forward to it and I hope it will become a regular event. Here's to it!
