It actually is a happy birthday!

[flexagon]

I'm 32 today, and I'm working from home (not voluntary, our office is temporarily closed as a health measure; but it's an interesting break from routine).
I'm 32 today, and I just got diagnosed with mild sleep apnea, which is no surprise and I guess is my next health improvement project.
I'm 32 today, and yesterday I pretty much did my splits on the left AND right sides.
I'm 32 today, and the significance of this number in binary does not escape me. I expect to get comments about being 10000 anyway, because that's the way my crowd rolls.
I'm 32 today, and my financial advisor says what can I say... you are an oasis in an otherwise very stormy economy. It's good to be an oasis.
I'm 32 today, and I pretty much worked all weekend, but you know, that's okay from time to time.
I'm 32 today, and for my birthday I got a Furminator and a regular expressions cheat skirt.
I'm 32 today, and my caffeine levels are lower than they've been in probably a decade.
I'm 32 today, and this morning I did half an hour on the elliptical and then did 25 pull-ups. My actual workout will be this evening. :)

My present to myself is this new "racing turtle" icon. It's made from a scan of an old t-shirt. I loved that t-shirt to death but I still have the turtle... The happy, confident, body-modifying turtle who decided to augment himself and go fast. :) He's a bit less wary than my "putt putt putt" icon, while continuing to have a theme of motion. I might have to sharpen him up sometime; his gray outline is a little blurry when he's reduced down so far. But I love him anyhow.

Happy birthday! It's good to take stock and like what you see. :)

Thanks!

...I forgot to mention that I have a stupid zit. Okay, more than one. When I was in my early 20s this is one thing I was sure would be over by now.

Still, this aging thing isn't bad so far. :)

Happy birthday!
I was just thinking about the regexp skirt today. :) As well as buying up one of each of the xkcd shirts in the store. :)

You should totally get the skirt -- heisenbug tells me they're already out of smalls and not likely to get more. That means they're probably discontinuing them. :(

As a side note, they're stretchy and the medium fits me fine, falling slightly lower on me than on the model.

Thanks! I can't wait to wear it to work. :)

Happy birthday!! Glad to hear that you're feeling good about life in general. I'm a wee bit surprised about the sleep apnea, though.

[flexagon]

*laughs* You have a turtle, too! Awwwwww.

Both my parents snore, and my dad at least has more severe apnea, so it's not a surprise to me. Kind of annoying since they can't tell me to lose weight and stop smoking... :P It'll have to be something more direct than that.

I'm a big fan of turtles.

One funny thing: when I was reading your response, the ads on my gmail suggested that playing the Didgeridoo helps with sleep apnea (and probably messes with your cats' minds.)

Happy Birthday

Thanks! And LOL at your icon -- it makes you look verrrrrry dubious about my life. That's fair; I'm sure it wouldn't work for everyone.
