Just reading more than writing as it were.
Anyhow, here I be, celebrating turning 29 for the third time. I plan to use that until people start looking at me funny. Actually I think 31 will be pretty good. I'm looking forward to it. Overall I'm in a better place emotionally- just in general happier. Something I'm afraid is just going to go away, especially if I over-analyze it. So I'm going to resist that urge and enjoy the happy while it's here. :)
I was never a New Year's resolution kind of girl, probably because of how close my birthday is. Instead I try to make plans based on my birthday and not New Years. This year the Plan is more formed than usual, and involves many fewer pain meds and eating better mixed with more exercise. I know that for the next couple of months I can't take pain meds- rebound headaches need a recovery time. Discovered that yes, ibuprofen falls into this category- took some yesterday for 'female troubles' and have a slight headache today that wanders in and out. Not too bad, but enough to make me just want to avoid all pain meds. Which may be a problem if my wrists start to act up. Anyway,
Birthday! I got cards from my moms (birth and MIL) two days ago that I managed to resist opening until today. Not surprisingly the MIL sent me a Cashword scratch off, which was very cool, and it's her habit. Also got a card from Mr & Mrs Boss. Mom sent me a really pretty lavender sweater too. Will have to try when I get home.
Husband was very sweet, brought me a small bouquet of flowers in a vase last night- just so that I could bring them to work with me today. He also made me my favorite birthday cake- yellow cake with chocolate frosting. He included some cute decorations. Will have to take a picture when I get home (which will be funny since there will be two pieces taken from it...). He included 3 candles on one row and 1 in the next for 31. At lunch I got one present from him- Fiona Apple's latest DVD/CD- I've only heard a bit of it and it's rather different from her other two albums that I have. I'm curious to hear the rest of it. Also, I apparently I have more presents at home- but they're currently hidden and I have to find them. My hubby really is quite wonderful.
So now of course I wanna go home!
