My birthday and The Tree of Doom!

So I went to work. It became windy a little after nine, but we weren't losing power or anything.

A rather upset mom called me at quarter to two, so I went on break and talked for the duration.

And here is what happened:

So I finally went to bed at about nine, fell asleep at eleven-ish, got up at two to go shopping, and tried (and failed) to sleep between six and eight. At work I was asked, by some shocked girls, if I felt as bad as I looked. Which means, at least, I looked as bad as I felt. ☺

I got a cookbook from mom, and two cards from friends. More on these when I can put together a coherent thought...

For now, here's some video:
