melancholy, infinite sadness

[i was going to wish nicko a happy (30th!?) birthday today, but he has an unauthorized photograph on his blog and i don't want to support traffic to his site.]

my first day back at work, in this new year. survived N.Y.E. relatively unscathed. hid from the world a little bit this weekend, but i was out and about enough. i just can't stand the paparazzi...

hopefully, the work won't be heavy this first week of the new year.

got the 2nd "counseling" session this evening... need to remember to breathe...

can't believe it's my birthday on saturday. is it this bad every year? i swear, the onslaught of 'special occasions' is unrelenting...
