why, on the days i can sleep all day, i can't sleep all day? i'm up. but i'm going back down as soon as my eyes droop. in between i'll clean the indoor litter box (can't type that without shuddering).

thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. much appreciated. especially since i was here to read them. whatever happens in the next few days, i had my 37th birthday at home. i can't believe i'm 37. i can't believe i made it this far. i have my eyes set on 40 now. so the doctors have to make me better for at least three years more.
