The Day After...

Well, it's official. My father didn't call, email, mail, etc., me for my birthday. He did email me some veteran joke email yesterday morning, so I know he was awake, at the computer and aware of what day it was. So I guess he just ignored my birthday out of spite? *sigh* Who knows what goes thru that man's mind.

It's 64°F this morning, 10° higher than yesterday at this time. Glad I had a nice cool day for my birthday.

Kids were on average behavior yesterday, they tried not to fight much but still did. Had tuna sandwiches for lunch and roasted chicken with a nice side dish of some wheat couscous looking stuff with pecans. Bear baked me a lemon cake with lemon icing. It was delish. Both boys made me neat cards on the computer. Sharky surprised me with my present - a new jacket. He knows I need one because, frankly, all my jackets are really ugly. This one is slate blue and quite comfy with nice pockets inside and out. AND it's not thick and heavy either. LOL He says this was just a "temporary" present, my real one will come in January.

Bear is home sick again, this time with a fever. He just surprised me with a canned chicken salad sandwich for breakfast and wow, was it good. LOL I had forgotten how much I like those.
