The Mono

It's my birthday. Yay!

Things have gone well, after a rocky start -- I woke up with my shoulders locked up, in enough pain and inflammation that I felt like I was going to be sick. I managed to get that under control in less than an hour, happily.

I spent the day with Greg, driving down to see littlemissstoli while her human is away. Then I grabbed some paneer tikka masala at Daawat, ate a bit while Greg had Panda Express for lunch, stopped by to get something left at Chaos Castle last weekend (Dominic is a sweetheart), and came back up to ransom the RV from the shop for far too much money. The generator works now, at least, and other than some small handyman-style fixes and things like topping off the batteries and the spare tire, it's just about ready to go. Whew.

I tied up the tomatoes again (they're responding well to weekly feeding) and picked my first 1-pound tomato in several years. They're just getting started, too. O.O

My dad gifted me with a pair of 1-GB memory sticks so that I can upgrade the laptop... and my mom just handed me a couple of fat collections of Stinz. It's a bizarre comic, but I'll read them at the burn, where they'll fit right in. :) Then I opened my mail to find a $50 rebate check from Verizon, from when I bought my phone.

Now we're about to go out and get ice cream before finally seeing The Dark Knight.

Happy birthday to doktor_weasel, who has his party this Saturday... I hope today goes well for you, Nick. :)

To foogod! Have a great day, older sib. :)
