Today is my birthday.
Today is the first day of two weeks off work, which I am so ready for.
Today I managed to find Christmas tree candles, thank goodness (because it’s a little too late to get relatives to mail them from Germany, my usual source). Yes, that’s candles that go on the tree that we actually light. Don’t email me and tell me I’m going to burn my house down — thanks.

(to the tune of William Tell Overture)
Happy, happy bi-ir-th-day,
Happy, happy bi-ir-th-day,
Happy, happy bi-ir-th-day,
HAP-py happy bi-rth-day.
falsetto:
Hap-py, hap-py, hap-py hap-py bir-irth-day,
Hap-py, hap-py, hap-py hap-py bir-irth-day,
et cetera
BTW, you will NOT burn your house down; you’ll poke your eyes out! (And I have won a Major Award which will mesmerize my neighbors, right?)
Smiles to you, Katja.
