truepenny1. Thank you, everyone, for the birthday wishes on Wednesday. So far, thirty-five is going pretty well.
2. One of my birthday presents was a ring made by Sara Jayne Cole. I think I've linked to her work before, but I gotta say, it's worth linking to again. (Disclaimer: she is a friend of my mother's.)
3. My birthday present to myself--and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mirrorthaw--was buying a new bed with the advance from the goblin book. Since the bed we were sleeping on was the one I bought when I moved to Madison in 1996, you may rightfully say that this birthday present is neither self-indulgent nor, indeed, a moment too soon. Also, for the first time in our adult lives, we have an honest-to-god bed frame.
4. The bed frame has taught me that I do actually have a (rather dim and rudimentary) sense of spatial relations. I walked into it in the dark yesterday because I knew exactly where the bed was. Or, you know, used to be. I'm developing a lovely bruise on my thigh.
5. I have reached 65,000 words in the goblin book. 45,000 to go. Which will be easier once I figure out what the captain of the palace guard wants to talk to the emperor about.

I swear, the thing was perfectly positioned to elicit maximum shin and toe damage every time we rounded that corner. If her shin wasn't just as purple as mine, I would have been very suspicious, indeed. =p
Pain is good because it reminds us we're alive, right? Alive, and in pain. And possibly irritated.
