three five

yesterday was my birthday. we started celebrating on thursday night with john's p's. we went out to dinner and headed over to their place for some cake.
friday began with lots of birthday kisses, nothing to do at work and then leaving early. picked up casey. she helped me clean up a bit (the house is cluttered with most of her stuff anyway). john came home and the kids helped me open my gifts (yes!).
after that we dropped the kids off at john's p's and we headed to the riviera to see against me. it was awesome. ted leo and the pharmacists opened up.
i still can't hear (for real). my ears are buzzing. i even lost my voice a little. i haven't enjoyed a show in so long. i'm still smiling.
no beechwood today. just not in the cards. i'm bummed but trying not to dwell on it. i had a great day yesterday; today and tomorrow will be great too.
a little target, mall, clean and carpentersville on sunday. maybe catch the end of the poker ride.
