Diagnosis: Sassy!

Feeling better this morning after yesterday's excursion to the realm of Craptastic Health. Spending the morning catching up on blogs (this thread on dKos is both fascinating and terrifying) and playing Kingdom of Loathing.

In addition, there was my own birth on this same date. It's also Boss's Day in the US, which is stupid. Every day save Labor Day is Boss's Day. But I suppose I am being mean, not thinking of the poor, oppressed boss sitting in an office and slaving away over a hot secretary or golf club.
