The jump drive is a lost cause. I can reformat it -- the error message it's giving me is that the drive is unformatted, and would you like to format it now? -- but that's it.

Today is girasole's 62nd birthday, so much of the afternoon and early evening will be spent in joyous celebration. The rest of the day (well, evening), which was supposed to be spent working on D'Argo's Trial #3, will instead be spent re-creating what I did yesterday, which is always an agonizing process, and will likely take the entire fucking weekend, which puts me behind on Trial, not to mention the original mystery/romance I've been wanting to get the proposal/samples done for.

Sigh.

But today we put all this aside (which is part of why I wrote this post, to get it out of my system), and celebrate the 62nd birthday of The Mom. *grin*

Ain't the kids adorable? Rey (an advanced yellow belt whose daughter is one of the kids up front there) took the picture.
