puppetmaker | RTBTCKI Birthday and the days that followed

Tuesday was my sixty-second birthday. I worked in the morning then went grocery shopping. I let the rest of the day to fall into place as it may. This including petting the cats for half an hour then a nap with the cats sleeping next to me. I made myself dinner and had cherry pie for my birthday treat. All in all, a nice mellow day.

Wednesday was another morning of work. We got large boxes full of little things. Those boxes seem to take forever. I got two out of four areas done having gotten through 30 boxes of yarn the day before leaving 50 to go. The rest of Wednesday was dealing with little fires that have been popping up. I kept feeling dizzy and put it down to hydration. Didn’t pass out but came close.

Thursday started late as I really woke up at 10:00 am. I tried to wake up at 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00 but just couldn’t succeeded. The day was slow, and I napped a lot. Talked to my therapist about DragonCon and other things going on. She gave me some good advice about taking care of me. Self-care is important and I have been peddle to the meatal for months now. She thinks since I have the time I might need to give myself a break this the weekend and then start up everything again. I think she is right and plan to do so. I might even go see a movie.

Today I woke up at 7:00 and started to clean up this that and the other. My back complained so I sat down and watched the press conference for the suspect in the Charle Kind murder. Assignation is not the answer. Too many have die for stupid reasons. We need to remember how we felt about each other on 9-11 when the country came together. I love my country. I am not particularly happy with what is going on with in the political area.

I am grateful for birthday pie and birthday cake.
