Thank you, thank you everyone who's sent me birthday wishes today - i've been swamped in the lurve, and it's a beautiful thing. My LJ inbox was chocker, I had tweets, and Facebook goodies, and virtual gifts, and song spams and gifspams and all sorts of lushness and I am very grateful. Hopefully I have thanked each and every one of you individually, but in case I have not - THANK YOU!

I woke up this morning and could have made you a list of things NOT to do on your birthday - like

  • having a sniffle in the bathroom because you are missing your Dad, and then

  • weigh yourself on your Mum's bathroom scales and find you are two (yes TWO) stone heavier than you thought you were. (For you Americans, that's 28 pounds btw)

  • or end up waiting in most of the morning because the register office is incompetent and has mislaid your father's death certificates that are needed to finalise various financial affairs and they are supposed to be ringing you back...

So the stuff that y'all sent me was indeed a very cheering thing, as was the delicious mushroom pizza I had for lunch, and the big bar of Aero I scoffed this afternoon in definace of the bathroom scales' message of doom.

Tomorrow I return home and hope to be able to stay for longer than a couple of days this time. I need to have some down time so I can catch up on everything!

*smishes*

It sucks when someone isn't there anymore :(

Also, I can't imagine weighing 28lbs more than I thought I did. How do your clothes still fit? That's like... six dress sizes.

It doesn't seem to have impacted my dress sizes - I was a 14-16 UK and still am. I had noticed the extra roll of fat round my middle dammit - I need to get to the gym!

Aw, happy birthday! ♥ Those indeed do not sound like fun things to do, but also, pizza!

I'm pleased you got lots of birthday love from your flisties, you deserve it. It doesn't sound like the best of birthdays, but pizza and chocolate always help! Worry about the weight another day!

I'm sure it was tough today, especially with the registry office fiasco, and I hope you get a break at home soon *hugs*

I'm sure its been a hard day today, but I hope you found some smiles and joy from your family and your fandom friends. And a girl deserves some chocolate and pizza on her birthday!!!

It's the best combo, for sure. Well, proper Italian ice cream would have topped chocolate but you can't get that here. :D

sorry I'm only getting around to it, but in my defense I just got off work after 3 hours of sleep because thunderstorms.

BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BB ♥ ♥

You are such a wonderful person, and I love hearing about everything you do, and love reading your drabbles, and staring at your gorgeous art!

thank for being YOU <33333

Birthdays can be difficult days at the best of times, and celebrating in the wake of loss means a lot of bitter even in the sweet, but there are many people thinking of you and glad of your existence. And I'm glad you get to have some settled time at home now.

Happy birthday, my dear! I am so behind on everything but there is a birthday schmoopy wincest fic in the works for you.

A sniffle for your dad on your birthday is definitely something you should do if you need to. <3

NEVER weigh yourself on someone else's scale. They are always off by an average of 2 stone, or 28 pounds, whatever your unit of measure is.

And yeah...incompetence on something like that is so unfortunate and depressing when you just want to get it over and done with. Sorry that happened bb and I hope it gets sorted soon.

Happy birthday. I'm sorry about the un-happy parts, but glad that you got all that LJ love.

I didn't know it was your birthday until I read Junie's post. Your comments are always so thoughtful and interesting, and I've wanted to friend you for a while. I'm going to do it now, unless you say "hells no!"

BTW, you're allowed to have a freakin' treat on your freakin' birthday, no matter what the scale said, lying little bitch. Hmm, maybe I'm not good friend material, after all. :)

Happy Birthday :).

I was in a similar boat on Sunday - we spent the evening of my birthday working out funeral arrangements for my gran (she passed away last week), because it was the only time the whole family would be together in the same place for a week :(.

Oh so sorry to hear you lost your gran - sad times, huh. Sending you hugs...
