Hey, Mom. How are you? I’m ok, even though you’ve missed another birthday. I’ve thought of you a lot today, and I wish I could have gotten your phone call wishing me a happy day. I got one from Jennifer, but of course, it’s not the same. But we all know it can’t ever be the same again.
The day was pretty good. Cliff and I tried a coffee shop we had never been to, although Ramsey insisted on having Starbucks. It’s what she’s used to, and as we all know, she’s hard to convince otherwise. After we had breakfast, Cliff picked up my cake from a local bakery called Nana’s Lil Sweets. It’s such a cute cake, and they made it in my favorite dessert flavor combo: banana, chocolate and peanut butter. We had some after dinner, and it is a really good cake.
Jade had a work event today that she invited us to. It was an appreciation day for their workers, so I brought her a gift so she would know how much we appreciate her. Nothing much, just a notebook/journal, but the cover was soft and squishy. I thought it was cool. Ramsey had a lot of fun. She even joined Jade on the old fashion version of filters.
I felt a little sick after the event, so I came home to nap before having my birthday dinner and enjoying cake. Ramsey even sang happy birthday to me.
So other than my birthday, things have been getting back to normal. Ramsey went back to school last week. She really didn’t want to go back, but she’s been doing great while there.
We had a few follow up appointments, and we have our referral for a consultation with a radiation specialist. Hopefully, getting that last pesky 5mm will be the last of this whole fiasco. I’m ready to get it over with. Life goes on, and we don’t need to dwell on what a sh*tshow 2022 has been.
In other news, your kitties love me. Peach is a little camera shy, but here are a couple of Honey getting lots of snuggles.
Funny story about Peach. The other day when I was giving her some pets, I whispered “You miss her, don’t you?” Without hesitating, she answered me in a similarly quiet meow that sounded like “Yeah.” Maybe I remind them of you, but I know they wish you were still with them too.
I guess that’s all for now. Tomorrow, Jade is taking me clothes shopping for my birthday. Maybe I’ll find some cute, better-fitting outfits. Love you.
Hey, Mom! How are you?
