You Are a Sub |
 You are casual but a bit picky. You know what you like, and you know what you hate. If you’re able to do things your way, then you can relax. You like to have a say. You love variety and adventure. You get bored easily if nothing changes. |
|
You May Be a Bit Borderline… |
 Your mood swings make a roller coaster look tame! When you’re up, you’re a little bit crazy… And when you’re down, your whole world is crashing Scary thing is, these moods can change by the minute! |
|
Your Personality Cluster is Introverted Thinking |
 You are: You are objective, honest, and credible. |
|
You Feel Misunderstood By Your Family |
 You feel a bit overwhelmed by and resentful of your family right now. This is a good moment for you to take some time away from them. You believe that your family is truly happy, even if there are minor disagreements and squabbles. It’s sometimes hard for your family to understand who you are now. You’ve changed a lot, and they have trouble accepting the new you. You are honest and very outspoken with your family. You sometimes hurt feelings by saying things they don’t want to hear. |
|
None of Your Needs Are Being Met |
 Needs not being met: Physiological, love, safety, esteem, and self-actualization needs While it may seem surprising to you, none of your core needs are being met. Go back to square one. Work on getting enough rest, eating right, and even exercising. |
|
You Are Dawn |
 You are a naturally energetic and optimistic person. You can’t wait to start each day. You hate to waste any time, and you jump out of bed in the morning ready to face the world. You enjoy working and have a fulfilling career. For you, nothing feels better than the sweet victory success. |
|
You Are Not Stylish |
 To be honest, you think fashion is a complete waste of time. You don’t really care about how you dress, and those who do are simply superficial. While you don’t have to look like you stepped out of a magazine, maybe you should update your wardrobe. |
|
You Have Your Sarcastic Moments |
 While you’re not sarcastic at all times, you definitely have a cynical edge. In your opinion, not all people are annoying. Some are dead! And although you do have your genuine moments, you can’t help getting your zingers in. Some people might be a little hurt by your sarcasm, but it’s more likely they think you’re hilarious. |
|
You Are 86% Non Conformist |
 You’re incredibly strange. And a weirdness like yours takes skill to cultivate! No one really understands you. And you’re cool with that. You just hope you never have to understand them! |

Your Life Is Worth… |

Your Money Personality is Tightwad |
 You don’t spend money unless you absolutely have to. And when you do spend, you try to go for the cheapest option possible. You’re not a penny pincher because you’re poor. In fact, you may have the most cash of anyone you know. While more people should follow your lead, make sure you’re not depriving yourself. |
Today I had my visit to the doctor to have sutures removed, from where I had a mole and skin tag removed. Those were benign. He’d like to remove more skin tags, so said to remind him next visit. Seems like that’s more likely to be cosmetic than medical, though you never know.
He did a quick check of the blood pressure, which was 140/90 on the left, which he considers good, for me. He joked he wouldn’t even tell me what it was on the right, because it spiked as I answered questions and hit the sensitive zone. Which is funny, because he observed that I used exactly the same flat tone as a patient he has whose answers would have gone like:
“How are you?”
“Good.”
How are the kids?
“Good.”
“How is the wife?”
“Good. I just slit my wrist. You should see the blood.”
Except instead of the last two sentences I said “we’re getting divorced.” That must have been interesting, timed exactly with the right arm blood pressure reading.
I go back in six weeks for blood pressure and whatever else. I neglected to mention the back thing, which I think is mainly in hands of neurosurgeon for now, but man the symptoms have gotten interesting. Some of the weirdest seem to be as much a matter of sleep deprivation as anything.
Our insurance leaves a lot to be desired. The whole mandate thing falls kind of short if too few places actually accept the plan.
Anyway, back to attempting to sleep a couple hours. Henry fell asleep early as if it was nap time, then woke after the rest of us went to bed. Deb took him in with them, but I was already on the trajectory of giving up and sitting in here to maybe fall asleep in my chair, with or without him.

You Are a Painting |
 You are a passionate person. You see the emotional undertones that others miss. Compared to other people, you are sentimental. You allow yourself to feel everything. Believe that art should capture the beauty and mood of a moment. |
|
You Are a Lynx |
 You are a quiet observer of the world around you. Your wisdom comes from listening carefully. You’ve always been extra sensitive and aware. And it’s made it difficult for you to fit in. You see past people’s outward personas. You are able to penetrate a stranger’s soul. |
This is a picture taken with my new phone. Thus the fuzziness, but it’s kind of cute.
Amazingly appropriate, considering the quantity of rosemary I use.
|
You Are Rosemary |
 You are stable and grounded. You may take a slow, steady approach to live, but you’re a survivor. You are an intellectual and very rational. You can see things from a logical, detached viewpoint. You are successful but not particularly ambitious. You have a way of letting success come to you. |
Happy birthday to… me! The big 48. I’m officially contiguous, even as there are secession problems.
There are a whole slew, if not a Seattle, of other birthdays today, which I’d be remiss not to mention while I am here, even though I have stopped the regular announcements.
First and foremost, my mother, which makes her 74. Which with modern health and life expectancies – the same ones that make 65 an absurd and nationally bankrupting retirement age – would be famously sung by the Beatles if they were happening now. Or perhaps even 84, my age if I were dyslexic. Difference being divides by nine. Obscure accounting humor, anyone?
There’s Mickey, of the now defunct Mickey’s Musings blog.
There’s Bogie, who has read me from the early days, and whom I have actually met in person.
There’s Peter Davidson, a favorite eclectic read who up and disappeared, though the blog remains, suspended in time. I’d still like to know what happened, and see him come back or what he’s posting now if he’s elsewhere.
Imelda Bettinger is a name I picked up along the way to add to the list, 35 this year as Deb will be. Darn kids! (I believe age difference between us was less a factor than could have been, but more of one than I’d expected.)
Finally, Sheila Scarborough is another of us cool 1961 babies. Go us!
Happy birthday!
You Go for Brains |
 When it comes to attraction, you go for more than meets the eye. Eye candy is all fine and good, but you need more good looks to be into someone. You’re looking for a deep connection, and that can only happen when you meet someone who thinks like you. |
|
Your Ego is Medium |
 You have what psychologists would call a healthy ego. You have high self esteem, but you don’t think too highly of yourself. You believe in yourself, but you are also able to believe in others. |
|
You Are 80% Open Minded |
 You are so open minded that your brain may have fallen out! Well, not really. But you may be confused on where you stand. You don’t have a judgmental bone in your body, and you’re very accepting. You enjoy the best of every life philosophy, even if you sometimes contradict yourself. |
