Homeward bound
Heading back to Boston for a visit Aug 28 - Sept 7. SO looking forward to seeing my sibs and family for the first time since my dad's memorial service.
Today is my birthday. I've gotten lots of attention and that is so nice. A part of me is sad, though, without H. He did drop off some thoughtful presents last Friday. Even though we're supposed to be "taking a break from trying to be friends" at his inititiative. So I was quite surprised to hear from him. Ironically, our divorce was supposed to come through today, but he was missing some paperwork. Hey, I'm just as glad not to have that happen on my birthday -- even though some friends said to think of that as a happy, liberating event. It was tough to "reframe" it that way, though. But that's not what I meant to write about. This birthday is getting stretched out over quite a time period. On the weekend I was taken out to eat twice, and tonight my friend Sheila is making dinner for me. So sweet. I had to work today, and the folks at my meeting brought me a cake. My best friend had flowers delivered to the office. When I get home tonight, I expect there will be gifties in the mail box. And when I go back to Boston, it will all start over again. So it's good, if rather dangerously indulgent ;-)
Poor Sadie the dog continues to decline in the functioning of her back legs. Waiting for the vet to call me back.
Speaking of dogs, just read The Dogs of Babel, which I found thoroughly enjoyable.
