Happiest of birthdays to my dearest Pooh, @BronxWench .     Love you, my favourite dragon, and I hope the day will be full of joy and great food, and hilarity, and no more snow  

My first officially published book has gone live for the peeps who preordered and I’m freaking the fuck out 

Because I think we need wondrous things in our lives, I decided to donate to help purchase JRR Tolkien’s home to help create a Tolkien Centre:

I don’t know if anything will come of it, but I feel like I should do some little thing for all the joy he’s given me for all these years. 

It’s been a hell of a year, right?
I hope everyone has come through it okay… so far…
And, well… I just thought I should warn you all, I’m planning to be around a bit more.

Wishing @DemonGoddess a very Happy Birthday, from one cranky old thing to another!       

So, it’s been a rough few days. My mom is in hospital with congestive heart failure, exacerbated by COPD, atrial fibrillation, and Parkinson’s. It’s been one step forward and two steps back for the past 4 days, but at least I’m allowed to see her for a couple of hours each day.

So, if I’m a bit more absent, or crankier than usual, I apologize in advance.

Let’s all raise a glass of mead to @foeofthelance, and wish him a very happy birthday! I’m going to owe you two glasses of mead at the next RenFaire, lad!    

Just got a desktop computer for the first time, and feel like I’m staring at a giant screen… the forum is HUGE now… 

Happy Birthday to my dear @pippychick, and may the coming year bring only good things! Love you!

 

Wear a mask.  That is all...

I will be very happy when July 31st gets here.  That’s when the extra $600 a week for unemployment finally expires.   That may sound horrible, but I’m on the opposite end of that.  I have worked through this entire thing, and the only applicants I’ve gotten for my critically short staffed store, have been applying for the unemployment requirement that they do so.  Have only had one day off since November 14th.  ONE.  Plus, I’m already on schedule for a minimum of 80 hours a week, and if anyone calls off, I get to cover it.  Because I don’t have enough staff.  So my average work week is more like 90 hours or better.  Awful damn tired of people working the system.

The very happiest of birthdays to WillowDarkling, my sweet Neko-baby! I’m wishing for only wonderful things for you this year!    

Hey, did you see my title… I’m a Master… lol

(runs and hides)

Final grade for the fan fiction terminology final assignment is in, and the assignment earned me an 8,5 (out of 10), which resulted in a final grade for the course, of 8. Not too shitty… 

I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to the amazing Melrick! If it were possible, I’d send you a Key Lime pie from JG Melon’s, but you’ll have to settle for a virtual hug.
 

Wishing the very happiest of birthdays to my dear Pittwitch. Love you!
   

A lady by the username of Maidenhair, who used to be a regular on here years ago, has sadly passed away.  She was a funny, selfless person who was always willing to help others.  56 is way too young.  RIP Linda.

Happy New Year, everyone. Let’s hope this one is fantastic. 

Happy Yule, guys  or Christmas, or Hanukkah, or whatever else you celebrate. Happy Holidays and hope you have a wonderful time. 

Happy Birthday BronxWench!
