Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

So, on December 26th I had my 50th birthday, wahey! I started my day with my homemade arretjescake for breakfast and opening presents from friends all over the world. Then I build my birthdaycake and read all the messages coming in on social media until my family arrived. Brotherdearest and his girlfriend had delayed their travelplans, my other brother had come over from Australia with my sister in law and darling nephew, and of course my mom and her partner were there; they even brought a big Sarah doll with them, heehee! We had a blast hanging out (I got spoiled with loads of presents:) and in the evening I took them all out for dinner at the nearby Chinese restaurant. An excellent birthday and I was so very pleased with how my candy cake turned out, I want to share that with y'all.



( More cake! )

It's been a whirlwind of a year, but it ended on a very high note, I had such a great day:)
Thank you to everyone who sent cards and well wishes <3<3<3

Short workday because I had an appointment for a lung-function-test since I can't seem to get rid of my cough in between those extreme colds I've been having. I don't think this was the right test for that, but I have one of those doctors that prefers to check off a list instead of actually dealing with the problem straight away. *sighs* As I expected I don't have astma. Duh. No idea what's next on the list, we'll see.

Ehm, also: before the test I had to get on a scale and as I didn't have a clue about my weight I didn't know what to expect, but I've been feeling really great about myself ever since I changed my over-eating habits and started daily work-outs last year, so I shouldn't really care anyway, but I was rather shocked and disappointed to find out I weighed over a hundred kilos with clothes and shoes on, djeebus fuck. BUT, even though my first instinct was to go to the store and gets loads of snack food, I resisted that urge and did my regular groceries. *beams with pride* So there.

(I considered not posting about this, but I decided it was important to write it down.)

So. Age of Pandora. Whoa, all new exercises today! I chose to do 10 repeats of both X-moves (Level 3), did 3 sets (Level 1) and I was dripping sweat for real even before I was finished.

( Chapter 17 favorite (spoilers for exercises) + preview Chapter 18 )

Last but not least:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sleepypercy!
May these two brighten your day (and inspire you to keep going on our Age of Pandora travels;) *twirls you*

Wahey, a BIG birthday for rabidfan! We go back a long time, baby! I have fond memories of our days in the CSI fandom, especially playing with Nick & Greg, who I just had to turn into mermaids mermen for this special occasion:



Hope you have (had) a marvelous day! *twirls you*

I had to wait out a massive thunder- and lightning storm before I could get to my computer and fiddle with the guys, but we managed to put something together for your birthday just before midnight in our timezone. Hope you have/had a brilliant day, badbastion!



*throws confetti*

One of my oldest friends on LJ is celebrating her birthday today. Not oldest in age, but in time we've known each other;) After meeting in the CSI NicknGreg fandom tanisafan helped me discover and enjoy many other fandoms. When I stepped out of bandom, we moved a bit into different directions (haha, see what I did there?) but I don't mind decorating my Livejournal with pretty catered to her preferences once a year. *grins* So here is a sassy unicorn with friends:)



Tan, bb, darling, sweetheart; have a marvelous day! *smishes and twirls you*


(Original unicorn by Jessica LeClerc I tweaked it a little;)
