oh dear. I missed your birthday. Belatedly, happy birthday! I'm also two chapters behind on reading Novel, but am saving it for (hopefully) tomorrow with breakfast--crossing fingers that I don't have to attack the driveway with the snowblower in order to get out later, which will eat into my reading time. I need to see how my good friend Yellow is doing. :)

I'm sorry there is work and crying about work. There should be a patron for you, I think. You current country is crawling with Lords and Ladies Whatnots, isn't it? I mean, what else are they good for, is what I'm asking, if not providing some cope for lovely people who need more cope?
