Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so wonderful. I truly appreciate all the kind wishes, gifts, and love.
We got this giant fruit basket from Coco the Maltese’s parents, and let me tell you, the three of us have been attacking it like it is a competitive sport. At this rate, there may be nothing left but the basket itself by tomorrow. Tenshi's mom brought pastries yesterday and they vanished faster than you can blink.
Dennis wants to watch TV. I want to do absolutely nothing productive and just enjoy my day of leisure in peace. Of course, that probably means we will watch TV, and then somehow, in the blink of an eye, it will be bedtime. Why does relaxing for five minutes always turn into losing an entire evening?
I may go to bed early. I may stay up. At this point, even I do not know. It has just been so nice not to work and instead spend time reading on my iPad, 3D printing, respooling the filament Atousa brought, and working on all the little projects I never usually get around to. Honestly, getting things done without being interrupted every five minutes feels like its own birthday gift.
I also have an Amazon gift card that I am being ridiculously picky about. Apparently I need to study every possible option like I am making a major life decision. Nathan even got popcorn and used a gift card for food, so clearly we are out here living large. I do miss Hibachi, but he promised that when the weather gets warmer, we will go. I am filing that promise away for future reference.
The dogs have been playing like maniacs indoors because it is just too cold outside. They do go out, but apparently only long enough to confirm that yes, it is still cold, and then they come charging right back in. Since then, it has been nonstop roughhousing, chaos, and entertainment, and honestly, it has made me smile all day.

Happy Birthday again, Darlah! 🎂 Hibachi offers take out. I get it myself at times. 😊
Too far Nathan says. Closer to you. One day…
