I am feeling overwhelmed. I have almost 1900 emails in my inbox-- and the oldest one is from TEN DAYS AGO.
I am starting to hate email. But not as much as I hate the phone.
Friends: SEVEN of you have emailed me in the past day to ask when we're getting together/lunching/having hot sex. I love you all. I am really, really lucky to have you in my life. I need to take the next three to five days to dig out of this hole or, if we hang out, you'll be hanging out with half a person because the other half will be worrying about what she's not gotten to yet. Wait a little longer and then I will give ALL ME to you.
In the meantime, a meme, stolen from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

... sport?
17. When is your birthday?

Depends on how old I was. I had a baby doll who looked like a real baby that I loved a lot. She is sitting just a little out of arm's reach now, and she's the only toy I have with me from my childhood, so she must have been my favorite.

Unless you count my BIG key ring, in which case I think we're up to about 80.
49. How many years at your current job?
Five months. Really? Only five months? Weird. Kind of 8 months, though.
50. Favourite day of the week?
They all run together. Friday, I guess, because that's when David and I most often have sushi.

Yes. I am grateful for that.

Love,

Then again, notice the other part. 2nd time in my life. I've learned how to drink a little, without going overboard. (And I've still never gotten blacked-out vomitting drunk.)

I like alcoholic drinks. I don't much care for the effect they have on me, but I like the drinks themselves.

I like good beer, with food usually. I would never drink beer just to get drunk on, though.
