So it's that time of year again where I have, with a great deal of help from the Earth (since it's really doing all of the work on this particular count), survived another revolution around the sun. Today looks to be nothing special since I already received the usual little celebration at work (Krispy Kreme doughnuts as I requested), received the one gift I'm going to get (money from mom - hello bills), bought my own birthday present that's actually a something I can use (the first season of Legends of Tomorrow), and bought my own cake (a piece of red velvet and a piece of chocolate for when I get around to eating them).
Most everything else I could want (if I can afford it) comes out in the next few weeks and as for books already out, I have several hundreds of those already waiting on my bookshelves for me to find the time to read them. I just started the third book of the Kelvin of Rud five book series by Piers Anthony and Robert E. Margroff so it'll be a while yet until I can proceed to the next likely candidate. [I want to finish the series. It was a trilogy when I started but I discovered the final two books at a local used bookstore a couple of weeks ago. Thank you trade credit.]
I'm currently (except for taking the time to type this) working on organizing and renaming the pinup images in the Dragon Lady folder. I've sorted the majority of the pictures into themed folders for easier reference, sorted them into an order of sorts and will be renaming them in the coming whenever I get to them. It's still going to be a while. I had some surprises in the other folders I've already done of images I could scarcely remember working on. There's so much potential in all of it for more work if I could only find the time, energy and will to do it if I could have all three at the same collective moments. And that's not so easy when you tend to feel like your best is behind you and the world has bypassed you with so much as a passing glance.

Happy birthday; I hope you find more reasons to smile then you expect, more laughter then you can handle, and more joys then you counted on in the year ahead:)
I get the same way more often then I'd like to admit
