Squishie!

I meant to send this to the list when it arrived, but apparently
Outlook crapped out for a bit. Here it is, as it should have appeared
on Dec. 7th:

Whoever sent me this WONDERFUL green squishie for my upcoming birthday
should be walking on air right now, as it arrived with PERFECT timing
and
nearly made me cry, I needed a pick-me-up so badly! Grad school final

papers are swamping me, and things were looking bleak until I got the
mail
today.

The Universe is smiling upon you, since you smiled upon me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
