Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is my 65th birthday, and I didn't feel a thing! lol 

I was up early today. Not for any reason, just up early. Then I went walking with Ron and we did 4 laps. Hoping to get up to 5 laps. 

I pretty much played on the tablet all day. I did get a pair of slippers from Phil and Emily. Love them, color and all. They fit great. I've been wearing them all day. My other ones were starting to fall apart. 

I wanted a Birthday cake. So, I got a recipe and got to work on it. Then I realized I messed up on how to make it. I misread the information, and it didn't turn out! It was more like corn bread then a cake. I was so disappointed. My mind was on the game more than reading and re-reading what I needed to do. Thanks to my dyslexia, I screwed it up. Oh, well. Told Patrick I wanted a Birthday cake, not a pie. He suggested we pick up a cream pie. Sounds good but wanted my cake. 

 I wanted to go out for supper. Trouble is Patrick can't taste food and doesn't do good when we go out to eat. He takes 3 days to get back to normal. So, we went to Safeway for my cake and a few other things. Then he took me to Happy Teriyaki but they were closed. Next stop was Burger King - as we all know I can eat a burger every day! It was pretty good, but not as good as I remember. My stomach surprised me and reacted to that or the cucumbers I made yesterday. Hard to say. The cake was pretty good. 

I got a call from mom while they were at the reception for my nephew's wedding. It was loud and we didn't talk long.  She wished me a Happy Birthday. As did a few others via text. It felt good to get so many texts and well wishes. My older brother sent his well wishes, but my younger brother didn't. He was too busy with the wedding. 

I worked on a couple things that needed to go out in the mail. So, that took some time. I guess I'm getting lazy lately, but then when Patrick falls asleep on the couch, I try not to wake him. He needs to sleep from time to time. Not liking this new chemo, but he's thinking it will get better, like last time. I'm not so sure. I can pray and hope. 

It didn't turn out to be a day to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
