Happy Birthday to me!

I don't know if anyone read when I wrote that I postponed my birthday at work because of all that was going on and "to wait until I was in a good mood and surprise me with my birthday then" and that they did. I had a white on white store bakery cake and Miss Debbie's waiting for me in the conference room after lunch today! It was perfect AND the boss and one of our other pesky co-workers were in Baltimore for a conference so "the crowd" was perfect. It was perfect. The comment was made that finding that window of "good mood" was looking dismal but then the day off and the election helped set the table for the party.

Plans for the weekend are morphing. I do have the party on Saturday, but my sister said she is flying up this weekend instead of driving so would I pick her up at 9:30 p.m. on Friday night and bring her to airport EARLY on Sunday a.m. That might help me behave Saturday night and that will probably be a good thing.

Yesterday was a good day at work, co-worker's soccer team won the CISAC soccer championship, good walk after the game, good walk to the Community Center to finally get reappointed to the EDA committee (with my disclaimer that if we do not get more members, meetings will be difficult to pull off), good walk home in spite of the fact that it has started raining, good night's sleep. Election Day really started a "first day of the rest of your life" type feeling. I will try to keep that going today.

Sister #3 will leave today. She was not sounding too upbeat last night when I called. I will check on the parents after work tonight. Father will still not buy the electric chair seat...but the bed railing is working well for mother. I will try to politic for the moving seat and the assisted living place over the next few days. The VN did come and father was very pleased with her. Sister #3 was going to buy some pill boxes to help keep BOTH parents' medicines straight.

I guess I missed a very interesting staff meeting on Tuesday. I told the girls I have a protective bubble around me to keep me from situations that would put me over the edge. I did not go into my full "no coincidence" philosophy. They can only take so much of "my thinking" and they did all the party stuff so I did not want to bring down the mood.

Here is to another good day - I am feeling a string of them ahead.
