Happy Birthday to

irinaauthor! I hope you both have great days!

I have made my last entry private because it was made in anger, during a day of great personal stress for me and for people that I care about, and it was therefore uncharitable. I would rather not have it living forever on your friends pages. I've not deleted it, to remind me not to act in such a manner in future. The one part of it that I would like to last is the sentiment that

ari_o did an amazing, kick-ass job as Chief Auror at NImbus, complete with leather gauntlets on loan from the incomparable

earthquake1906, which she of course wore very well.

Thanks to everyone who talked to me last night, but especially to my beloved C, who gave me some badly needed perspective. Interestingly, on the topic of birthdays, he revealed that his new songwriting partner has the same birthday I do.

Last night I dreamt that

kitsune13 and I were "chaperones" for Dan Radcliffe et al. as we caroused around some beach towns for his birthday. We were driving them around in two open Jeeps, and I can't remember who all else was there except Alfred Enoch, which leads me to believe that Devon Murray was there but I was ignoring him. The odd thing was that one minute we were in SoCal, and the next we were in Maine. I have no idea what this means. But I slept until I woke up and I feel a bit more steady on my feet and that is always a good thing.

AND,

aegeus made art for me because he rocks. You can see in his LJ or here. Thank you thank you thank you!

Anyway, I'm going to write today. People who want me should call me or text me because I will not be online.
