Festive occasions

[flemmings]

I don't know which is happier-making, money in the mail or a sudden loss of a kilo plus when you step on the scale in the morning. As it's Sunday, you can figure for yourselves which constitutes today's happiness. As an object lesson, I lugged a 10-kilo bag of road salt home yesterday (22 pounds for the imperialists) and even factoring in the unwieldiness of road salt, like the worst kind of squashy parcel baby, the idea that I'm carrying two of those about my person now is a great impetus to virtue. The realization that I've lost half a bag of road salt since the summer is extremely satisfying. My knees certainly have ceased to grumble as much as they did.

Meanwhile, if the book is correct, it's shiny_monkey's birthday. Happy birthday, shiny_monkey!

1. Took a while but eventually it dawned on me that the tammylee in nojojojo's FL was in fact you. 'Oh, *that's* where she went to!'

2. Partly the red dragon/ Goushou-in-a-snit picture you drew for me, but equally chicken salad made with low-fat yoghurt and curry powder, because you ran the recipe once and now I eat it at least once a week, on top of greens, and wipe the bowl clean with caraway rye bread.

3. The fact that people will call you 'sir' even when you're wearing a dress. It's reassuring because I get sir'd a lot too and you're a lot more feminine than I am.

4. That yaoi panel at shoujocon where you turned out to be baxter.

5. Oh, those Anglo-Saxon reticences.

6. Tamzilla.

7. And you already did.
