What does it mean for the coming year when I wake up on the morning of my birthday to find the scroll wheel on my mouse suddenly working backwards? Or is it upside down?
Down is up and up is down and I had to get Son Two to confirm it was the mouse and not me having a stroke.
It’s like I imagine it would be to wake up and find myself driving a car in England or flushing a toilet in Australia; a little dizzy-making.
Some great big Cosmic Birthday Joke, I guess.
So NOT funny, Universe…

Oh no, it is funny. It really, really is. Especially the part where you had to seek confirmation from your son.
Happy Birthday!

Actually, it’s kind of cheerful evidence that the powers that be have a sense of humor. Happy belated!
