Happy birthday to silmaril!

I had an amazingly frustrating and painful week of fibro flare plus insomnia last week, and a less painful but still rather frustrating week this week where I had trouble getting out to do stuff. But I'm feeling enough better that I did finally manage to get my driving license renewed yesterday (couldn't do it on my birthday 'cause that's a federal holiday, and I was also worried I might fail the eye exam), and am doing okayish today despite having tried to squeeze a bit too much into yesterday. Will try to actually type in some of the half-composed-in-my-head journal entries that have been building up.

I'm looking forward to a party this evening, and since it's a musician's party, this seems a good time to post this musical video: three people playing "Korobeiniki" (the music for Tetris) on glass bottles. (Found via 'related videos' link on a video suggested by bruhinb)
