Hey .... tomorrow's my birthday! I nearly forgot 'til I wrote a batch number down for today and realized it was the eleventh. Hm. Maybe I should buy myself flowers for my cube or something.

I just found out that an old friend, the husband of my "transitional adult" (you know, that adult of the same gender that is the first one to ask you, as a preteen, to call them by their first name, and treats you as an individual and not just "some little kid", that's a "transitional adult"), died unexpectedly last year. He and JA lived in the house three doors down from me when I was growing up. I babysat their girls. Apparently he fell backwards, hit his head, went into a coma, and just ... died. I'm trying to figure out what to write on the sympathy card. Words fail me.

Anyway..... back to work. *sigh*
