"Did they laugh at me when I won the gold championship?"

The fact that my day is just ending is testament to the sort of day it's been. It was full of laughing and frowning and driving and singing along and firsts of a few sorts. And, having long since crossed into the realm of tomorrow, it's my mother's birthday. Hip hip, and all that other business.

If I'm able to get any sleep at all now, it will be a wonder.
