In the very early morning hours of Monday, around 3 AM, I was jolted awake by PAIN. I immediately knew it was a Fibromyalgia flare-up, but it was the absolute worst one I've ever had. Yesterday was  spent "enjoying" a full-body sensation that could only be described as the bastard child of an abscessed tooth and childhood growing pains, magnified a ( Read more... )

clumsycake joined us this time for what's becoming our annual brouhaha with falkenna, paulpearson23, janalyson, and her daughter Jennifer. This time we met at El Molcajete, a local Mexican restaurant. We traded books and gifts. falkenna gave me this miniature recreation of the Prague astronomical clock. I'm gonna put a battery in it and countdown to 12-21-2012, more than I already am, that ( Read more... )

beechelfromhell sent me the most awesome birthday card. It's of the Joker and, when you open the card J says "Let's put a smiiiiile on that face" and then he laughs maniacally. I can dig it. She also wrote a heartening note to both Aunt Tudi and me, one I'll be keeping probably til I'm old and dead. Also, she sent me this incredible Peace Bracelet, which is ( Read more... )

It scared the shit outta me.) and a Joker bobble-head or Head Knocker as this is called which made me scream with joy on the inside. Despite my ranting here, I'm actually pretty quiet ( Read more... )

Today I got a wonderfully aromatic parcel in the mail, along with a very sweet note card, courtesy of the Texan division of the Writers Triumvirate, the lovely morriganwind. Thanks to her, I will never ever smell bad again!

On my way to work, I wibbled into the the Big PO only to find a package filled with all manner of movies, a delicious-looking book, two Skor bars, a couple of beautiful necklaces, and a bag full of stinky sugar-free licorice for Aunt Tudi. Why on Earth anyone would want to shove that devil candy in their mouth is beyond me, but it's not up to me ( Read more... )

booraven22 went and did it now. She sent me two birthday gifts from Amazon, which I got at the Big PO today. The first thing I opened was the ELO Live at Wembley DVD, which is a special edition that comes with the original concert programme that lucky people who got to attend received at the door. I'm waiting for Aunt Tudi to finish watching her Judge ( Read more... )
