My birthday was yesterday and the weekend included a little bit of a little bit of struggle, but mostly great stuff. The birthday celebration started Friday night when two dear friends took me out to dinner. There is nothing like getting out with a couple of friends and just relaxing while the husband takes care [...]

So last night went well. I expected a full table of decadent treats at the condolence call but there was much less food than I expected. So that was a good thing – less choices. I felt very calm and relaxed. I was choice-ful prior to going and decided that I would taste/eat things that [...]
