The first thought that crossed my mind this morning was, "WOO HOO it's my birthday." Followed closely by, "oh crap I'm 46."
I don't feel 46. I don't feel old at all in fact (though there are days). And I truly believe it is just a number. I hope I can carry that feeling with me as I age.
I returned from Tuscon without incident. Found the house was still intact and two demons that were very glad to see me. Lucy hopped right up on my lap, while I got the cold shoulder from Linus for an hour or so. Eventually he caved and shared my lap too.
Christmas was good. We spent it with friends - who are really more like family. The MomUnit and I cooked a turkey with all the trimmings. We realized we hadn't cooked that meal together for years. It's funny how roles switch though. I used to be the one directed by the MomUnit...now I directed her....somewhat.
The MomUnit and I both came down with colds, her's was worse than mine. I felt like crap for about a day, but survived all the same.
Now it's the 29th and I'm preparing for a birthday celebration tonight. Can't wait to see all my friends!
I'll leave you with this photo. As I flew down to Tucson, I was greeted by Mount Rainier. Such a beautiful sight.
