Thank you for the birthday wishes.
It was an uneven day. Good start making it by 11 to meeting my BFF for my birthday lunch with her. That was a good (despite depressing topics of conversation, her BIL will die in the next day or two, she just found out a week ago that he's palliative despite that diagnosis starting over 2 months ago, and the fact she lives 20 minutes from them.)
My own dysfunctional family took up the rest of the day; a two hour phone call with my confused sister (who thought I was 65 because she took 9 years off her age but hadn't remembered she just turned 73, not 74), and then, after an hour long battle across town in rush hour traffic instead of the usual 22 minutes, a disconcerting dinner at dd's with whiny children who were rude and ignored us so we came home immediately after we finished eating. Thankfully dfs' children (3 and 6) recorded a lovey rendition of happy birthday and left it for me on FB messenger. So a more positive end to the day.
Tomorrow I have an important, in-person meeting with the new minister in the afternoon so we can't go back to the cottage until Thursday morning. I'll continue to work away at housework. I managed half the apartment yesterday before an exhausting evening meeting, and will hopefully get the second half finished except for the office which dh has made inaccessible due to working on his game project so the folding table is up blocking half the room.
So I'll probably disappear again for a few days at least.
Cathy: I found a pair of dh's jeans today. I think we actually bought him another pair because he was short a pair. His pair was in with my black jeans and it's been hot for almost 5 months so I hadn't gone to pull out black jeans until this afternoon. That explains why I didn't have enough room in my jeans bin!
