Birthday sugar coma

Well, of course today was my birthday.  I thought it would be like any other day because what can we possibly to do make this special day any good.  But it turned out to be one of the best days I've had in a while.

We had to put the cone back on Kitty.  She started really scratching a ton on her face again.  All that scratching made on of her nail caps fall off.  We didn't notice that until it was too late and she had new wounds in new places.  Any way, when she is coned she gets super cuddly.  Super cuddly Kitty means early scratching on the door.  That's not a great way to wake up on your birthday.

I got out of bed, showered and ate my birthday breakfast, corn pops.  It was pretty awesome.  I did a few stitches in my project and headed off to work.  I kind of wanted to just stay home.  I knew how the day would turn out - I would end up sitting at my desk trying to look busy enough to not get in trouble.  I got to work and I did end up just sitting there.  We have a puppy in the back so I went and played with her for a little while.  The constable I was working with today asked me if I was busy.  He told me just to go home.  It was one of those comments that I didn't take serious because it was a little ridiculous.  A little later he asked me what I was still doing at work.  I guess he was serious so I came home.  I was also told to come back at 3 for coffee break.  It was a little suspicious.

I came home and it was fantastic.  I forgot how much I loved being at home.  I stitched and surfed the internet.  It was truly awesome to spend my birthday doing things that I love doing.  Tyler came home for lunch and then left back for work.  I did more of the same after he left.

I went back to work for coffee break.  They brought a cake in and they sang to me and gave me a card.  It was all so very nice.  The cake was super great.  It made me feel like family was closer then it really is.  It made me feel great on my birthday.

I came home and started on my birthday supper.  I made classy chicken.  Tyler came home and we ate it together, along with a pie.  The pie was also fantastic.  It was made of chocolate pudding with cool whip on an oreo crumb crust.  I may have been closer to my birthday sugar coma then I liked.

I got a few phone calls today.  I called Amy this afternoon, mom called me early this evening, Grammie called after mom did, and I phoned my good and dear friend Joni.  It was a perfect end to my near perfect birthday.

Thank you all for your wishes and kind words.  I had a great birthday.
