So, I had this whole long thing started, and my computer overheated, and consequently crashed. I hate that, not only because it sucks when my computer crashes, but my second try at writing something out never quite works as well.

( Cut, because I'm sure some of the people seeing this really couldn't care less. )

I'm home, safe and sound. I still don't feel all that well, and I don't feel much like writing, so I'll save everything else for another time. But, I am not dead, and just wanted to let everyone know that.

So, I hope no one out there has been fretting about me. I know Tracey was crazy with worry. You've got the crazy part right. I went out the other night, and got home late, and my computer had crashed. I tried for a few minutes to fix it, and it wouldn't let Windows start up all the way, for some reason. I had intended to fix it yesterday, but I got roped into going out with a friend of mine, and actually ended up being out of the house for something obscene like 18 hours. We left right after work, and were out pretty late. And, since I had to work this morning, and I was tired, I didn't want to waste any potential sleeping time on wrestling with my computer.

As a random aside to Tracey, I did respond to that text you sent me yesterday. I guess you didn't get it. I'm sorry, honey - I certainly didn't mean to worry you. If my brain had been operating at more that fifty percent capacity, I'd have voiceposted to let you know I was okay. But I fail. Sorry. :(

So, I am alive, as is my computer. All is well in the land of happy. :)

My "niece" [my cousin's daughter] was born this afternoon! Gabrielle Rose Fass [Ellie, not Gabby] was born at 2:10 pm. She weighed 7lbs, 5oz, and was 20 inches long. She's got her mama's nose and her daddy's mouth. :) She is as cute as can be, and both mom and baby are doing well. I've got pictures I'll post later, but I just wanted to brighten everyone's day a bit. Because everyone loves babies. :)

I'm sick. :(

Make me feel better.

Actions speak louder than words.

...Some people need to realize this.

I'll post something meaningful later, but I wanted to get this out before I forgot.

Yesterday at work, I was stuffing ad signs. Taking the paper signs and putting them in the little plastic holders that hang on the shelves. It's tedious, and boring, so I wasn't really paying attention. I was stuffing signs for Health & Beauty, and one stack was for body lotion. Apparently Jergen's makes a lotion called "Summer Glow". I, however, wasn't paying much attention, and I totally had to do a double take, because my brain saw "Summer Glau". And that was my *facepalm* moment for the day.

This was mostly for Aubrey's benefit, because I'm sure she needed her daily dose of Firefly geekery, but hopefully someone else got a chuckle out of it.
