There I was...
I'd hoped today would be a smooth day. Not so much, but hey, I'm making the best of it.
I ordered two small birthday cakes for June and I for our birthday. Yup, hers and mine are the same day. I'm off to pick up a card and small gift for her. She's not feeling too well, sadly. It's no fun to be ill on yer birthday. I haven't seen her for about a day and a half now. I get notes though, and unexplained mystery food.
Seriously: Last night I came home and found a hot bowl of soup in the microwave with a ham hoagie sandwich. No Miss June to be seen, but the soup was still hot! It was good, too.
Anyway, I ordered said cakes from a bakery I like in Salt Lake. Well, I had my mom do it for me. The cakes were ordered for Dale Hooper, but apparently the order never made its way to where it should have because when I went to retrieve the cakes, they were not there. They had a chocolate one like I wanted in the back, I'm sure for someone else, and they had a white cake like I wanted in the display case, so I just took that one. I think the girl behind the counter was really flustered and afraid I was going to be upset but I just told her not to worry about it, that everything was fine, and she didn't need to apologize anymore. She probably told me she was sorry about fifty times. I got pretty much what I wanted so I wasn't upset.
They were nice and let me have a mini eclair for free because of the mix-up. It sure looked good but mine are surely better, flavor wise. I cheat and put something extra in the dough when i make eclairs.
Anyway, I had a chore I saved on purpose to do today. I wanted to have something to do so I wouldn't sit around and feel badly about spending my birthday alone this year. Last year, I worked overtime all week and if it could have gone wrong that week, it did. I remember that, so alone maybe isn't so bad this year.
It's good to fear God. Even on your birthday.
The lawn I had to mow today just kind of gave me fits. The grass didn't want to stay in the trash bag and I kept finding things to pick up and throw away. It's finally done, but not without a fight. Oh, and to top it off, it was idiot day on I-15 and only by God's grace am I not lying in some hospital bed someplace. The special people who own the road were out in force today. Maybe there was a rally and I just didn't hear about it?
I did get a nice birthday card in the mail and someone butt dialed me. My phone died so I didn't see who the caller was, but you gotta love those messages. I've done it before so it just kinda made me laugh.
I had to pay a bill today. I knew it was going up $120 a month and that's all right. It's only for five years and I can feel good about paying that. (what it is, is a matter for another day). I just thought it would go up next month. Yeah, not so much. It went up this month. We'll be OK though.
After all that, I just came home to regroup. I gotta go out and do some shopping, get some stuff for the pool, and maybe something for dinner.
Wish me luck out there. It's already been one of those days.!
