This is a picture of my baby…and his 2 cousins from about 3 years ago, maybe 4.   Today is his birthday, and he turned (GULP!) 38 years old.  He is an absolute blessing of a son, even though he refuses to celebrate his birthday the way his mommy would like him to.             (Translated: with her.) lol  When I said …how about…he said, it’s only a birthday.    Sigh…I invited him over for the bbq on Saturday, but he probably won’t come.  He works entirely too hard and on the weekends when he’s off, he wants to do NOTHING. Sit in the family room with his big screen tv and just relax. He says it’s not relaxing if he has to do things.  So, happy birthday, my love. And so there.  lol

Thanks everyone for the concern about my kitty.  I turned around this morning and there she was…looking absolutely NO worse for the wear, and a little exasperated that I was making such a big deal over her being gone.  She ate and ate, and drank and drank. She lay down beside me on the sofa and let me pet her and then she went back outside and darted off into the woods. Tonight when I called her, she came back and has been in the house ever since.  Once again,  my emotional attachments to these animals got me all worked up over nothing.  I’m grateful she’s okay…maybe she had to come back to teach me even more lessons about attachment.  Sigh…the kittens are driving her insane and she wants out again.  I keep telling her to hang on and they’ll all be asleep, but she seems adamant. lol

I go tomorrow for xrays on the knee.  2 people today have told me they don’t like the ortho guy the doctor is referring me to. I think I will go see him, and listen to my gut. If I don’t like him, I’ll go somewhere else.  I did get a couple of other names, so at least I have options.  It’s hard when you move somewhere and don’t know the medical community…

The weather has been so beautiful, low 80’s and mostly sunny. There is a chance of showers on the weekend, but only 40%…that means 60% chance that it’ll be nice, right??? Someone said to me…What is it with you and this glass half full thing all the time?  lol  (Just lucky, I guess.)

Got the grass all mowed today, cleaned up around the garden beds and even did a tiny bit of weeding.  Wasn’t too hard on me…sitting in the car, and getting up and down from the chair  hurts more.   My beloved gave me that look when he got home…and just shook his head. But the grass needed mowing and I needed to move.  One of my sponslings called and said “WHAT ARE YOU DOING???”  Because I didn’t answer her call, and it went to voicemail.

I very calmly said, I just got up (it was true) and laughed at her when she said, “Knowing you, you’re out mowing grass or something!!”   And thought to myself, Not yet.  LOL

Life is good, the yard looks great, and I ate the first peach off the tree this afternoon. There are some gorgeous apples out there too….

Namaste.
