Another year older

Good Morning Buddies - today is a special day.  My birthday.  Started the day with Dennis telling me happy birthday, a call from my dad to wish me a happy birthday, mid morning my brother called.  Several friends and family left messages on facebook for me.  It is great to be loved.

I got a great bouquet of snapdragons from Dennis.  He knows that snapdragons are my favorite.  I like to play with the flowers and make them 'snap', been my fav for years.

Hard to believe all that has happened in the last year.  Had my surgery, and I am soooo greatful that I made that decision.  I am now 48 years old.  I have great respect for those that are making the decision to have the surgery done at any age.  We are making great strides for ourselves.

I didn't sleep much during the day yesterday.  Knew that I had last night off for my birthday holiday.  I went to bed at 10pm last evening, slept till at least 8:30 this morning.  Got up, felt like hot chocolate for breakfast, mixed in a scoop of chocolate protein powder into it.  Within an hour, I discovered that I was exhausted again.  Went back to bed for a couple of hours and now I feel more like myself.

Enjoying sewing for a while this afternoon, getting a haircut and spending some time walking the dogs will round out the afternoon.  Dennis will be working and I will be napping to get ready for another shift of night work.  Three more shifts and I will be on a weeks vacation.  I am flying to CO to visit Patrece.  We chicks will try to behave ourselves.  Paul will keep us in check.  Dennis has arranged to be able to drop me off and pick me up from the airport.  Patrece will arrange transportation on her side of the flight.  I am so ready for a vacation. 

Have a great afternoon buddies.  Mega hugs
