Thanks again Portia, it was very kind of you to remember the date. Yep; it's doing me good to get back to the gym. I also had a date...

Kell, thanks - I appreciate the good wishes!
besee, it was a happy day. After so many years of exams and deadlines on it, I'd just about given up ever trying to celebrate it on the actual day, so that alone was a treat... thanks for the good thoughts!
James, thanks!

beth, yep, I guess I am. I always read both Taurus and Gemini. Is it possible to be both stubborn and fickle at the same time?

No wonder I'm confused...
Ami, thanks for the kind thoughts and supportive comment... it means a lot to me. ((()))
Izzy, a cake! You shouldn't have

. Looks great, and it'll keep forever without refrigeration.
H&H, haven't seen you here in too long. It's a real treat to see you again, especially on my BD with good wishes! I hope you're OK.
Hops, thanks. This one was pretty happy. That fellow I was talking about earlier? Tooken me out Sunday... we had a very nice time. Fingers are crossed, and foot is planted firmly on brake. Not rushing into anything bad, because if it's anything good, it won't mind being waited for.
