Another birthday come and gone...
Even though my birthday was 2 days ago, I mostly wanted to post because of something that happened this morning on the way to the car. I was walking and in one of the parking spots was this tiny baby bird just sitting there. He saw us and didn't fly away or move or anything. Little ants were crawling over his feet and I looked at him and his eyes looked all sleepy. So I tried to push him out of the way but he just fell over. So I scooped up this little baby bird in my hands and carried him over towards a tree. I held him up towards the branches and he managed to fly up to one, but it looked like it was so hard--like he had to beat his wings so hard and fast to travel such a short distance. And it made me very sad. And a little weirded out because I've never held a bird in my hands before, not even a domestic pet one.
Soo...my birthday. Yes. It was relatively uneventful but satisfying nonetheless. My friends are awesome--Casey, Kara, and Brianlamb came down to visit me, and it made me realize how very much I missed seeing them and talking to them all the time, every day. That part of summer is not so very great. Then Oliver, David, and Sass (!) surprised me with a little cake, and we went to Bendwood to eat it and make friends with second graders.
Then YESTERDAY I spent the day with Sass and later I went to an opera at the Miller Outdoor Theatre with Nani, Patrick, and David, then 2 of Nani's friends as well...and we visited Bryce and she spent the night. I love having her over--her and Bryce are not doing so well, but I don't know what to do to help except step by and let them resolve whatever is going on within each other and just be there to listen when she needs me to. I feel like I'm having similar issues with a friend of mine but he doesn't know...
Why are you boys so stupid?
On a brighter note, it has been absolutely gorgeous outside these past few days--it's like God smiled upon me for my birthday. It's been sunnysunnysunny and cool, with a light breeze--it just makes you happy to be alive every time you step outside. Too bad this won't last--it is Houston, after all. And as much as I complain, I still miss it every time I leave (the city, not the weather haha).
