  At 5:35pm tonight, I will be thirty-nine years old.

  I'm too tired/busy to panic.

  So far, let's see, my cat peed on the floor in front of the litterbox (in her defense:  it's dirty and I need to clean it), I have migraine flashies (going to pretend its free psychedelics and recall my 25th birthday). 

  On the plus side, I came home to a beautiful array of treats from my parents, who picked out all sorts of items from one of my longtime favorite places back in Gainesville, the Wine and Cheese Gallery.  So thoughtful! There's a bottle of ice wine, some fig spread, actual black truffle (yum), some havarti, actual reggiano, and, without knowing that viognier is currently my preferred wine of choice, a bottle of a viognier/pino gris blend.  The viogniers I like have an almost balsamy taste to them, notes of green tea, and a dry finish.  The good ones make me see fireworks with each sip.

  Tonight, Z-man and I have a dinner date at Fleur de Lys, which he managed to somehow wrangle on a Friday night on short notice.  Can't wait!

  Honestly, I haven't given my birthday much thought in a few weeks.  Dr Rogish and his partner just left town on Monday (my parent's fortieth anniversary!), after a week here.  It was so good to see them, and I'm glad the Old Gainesville-in-SF Contingent got to see them as well.  We had a nice week involving limos and wine country, Alcatraz at night, parties thrown, sights viewed, and friends visited.  Bit of a whirlwind, and even then, we didn't get to do everything they'd wanted to do.  They're either still in or just leaving Yellowstone now, and on their way to Las Vegas,. I told him he has to go see Zumanity, because.  Just because.

  I'm hoping our next reuinion will be on his side of the Atlantic, and possibly (ideally) in Paris.

  In the meantime, still looking for a place, trying to see if I can get to Tokyo in December, and done procrastinating at work (bad me).
