Happy birthday to me, now with bonus cats.: seanan

Happy birthday to me, now with bonus cats.

ME: *asleep*
ALICE: *asleep*
LILLY: *asleep*
THOMAS: "Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh hack hack hack blurgh bleah puke puke puke."
ALICE AND LILLY: "MONKEY MAKE HIM STOP."
ME: "Huh wha' is it time for school yet?"
CLOCK: *1:45 AM*
ME: "...oh I am going to make slippers."

So that happened. Poor Thomas decided to celebrate my birthday by throwing up all over the hallway shortly after midnight, resulting in my first birthday activity being "mop up all the cat puke." Also, ew. He seems fine, just unhappy, and got snuggles before I went back to bed and dreamt* about being eaten by a giant gar.**

ME: *asleep*
ALICE: *asleep*
LILLY: *asleep*
THOMAS: *sulking*
ALARM: "Good morning good morning good morning GOOD MOOOOOOORNING!"
CATS: "MONKEY MAKE IT STOP."
ME: "I hate everything."
FACEBOOK: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE POPULATION OF HALLOWEENTOWN! LIKE, REALLY, THE WHOLE POPULATION!!!!!!"
ME: "...okay, maybe not everything."

Today is my thirty-fourth birthday! Which is pretty awesome, since I, like most nihilistic teenagers, never really expected to live past the age of twenty. I definitely didn't expect to be writing books and snuggling cats and going to Disney World and having amazing friends and basically getting a pretty good score at the game of Life. Even if my little car lacks other pegs (which I never really wanted anyway). Mom is checking up on Thomas throughout the day, but he really does seem to have just eaten a bug that didn't agree with him.

Tonight, there will be writing, and maybe cupcakes, if I'm feeling ambitious and like walking down to the bakery before I go home. And this weekend, there will be blessedly nothing. I will rest, and it will be glorious.

Happy birthday to me.

(*Dear spellcheck: screw you, that is the correct past tense of the word "dream.")

Happy Birthday! Of course you should get cupcakes --someone close to you should make sure this happens! If I lived closer I would bake some for you myself (or get ones at the best bakery possible).

He is, thankfully.

Happy birthday to YOUUUUUUUU!

And I, for one, am glad you survived long enough to be smothered with happiness via Facebook on your b-day! ;-)

Happy Birthday! Sorry to hear that it began in the wee early hours with something not so pleasant. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your Birthday (or rest of your Birthday week, as it tends to go in my family).

Cats totally count as pegs in the car of life.

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, and may you have many more, in happiness and good health.

Cats have several core rôles. Being on the wrong side of the closed door is key, then there is puking at inconvenient times and in inconvenient places, and, if they have a chance, walking across your face when you are in bed.

Sad but true.

And happy birthday to you!
The little darling in my icon decided that the best way to greet me on New Year's Day was to wake me up early by puking just outside the bedroom door. Could have been worse - she was on the bed with us not too long before.
