birthday blogs

I haven't written anything in here for awhile, not exactly sure why. I had a nice birthday, though. Went to Pescadero and the beach with Jeff, Matt, Veda/Noelle & her kids. It was fresh and cool and not crowded. I baked a funny-looking cake, and Matt & Co. made cookies. On Monday, Marylin took me out to dinner at Fresh Choice, and on Tuesday "the girls"  had game night at Marylin's, playing Apples to Apples. It was probably 100* outside, and my gifts were warm blankies and flannel sheets!

Six years ago, when I turned 60, I had my "breakdown" and ended up in the hospital. Partly it was because I had not fulfilled my high expectations of taking control of various segments of my life, but mostly, as I see now, because of helplessness over Greg's situation. I can't find my wish list of things I wanted to change then, but I think most of them have changed, or else I discovered they don't matter. The past is past.

I'm awaiting my first Social Security check. I'm planning a trip to Toledo to see my brother Bill. I'm planting spring bulbs -- that's enough future for me.
