I know I make worse of situations inside of my head than how they really are – especially if I haven’t gotten a proper amount of sleep. I know I shouldn’t be uptight and I know I shouldn’t dwell on what I can’t change – like missing dishes that have made their way out of the kitchen and haven’t been returned. My imagination runs away with me and I get carried away – which reminds me this skit of Ernie returning a vacuum cleaner.
Often when I allow things to get out
of hand the real life situation will have the opposite results and I find I
have worked myself up for nothing. Yesterday
I had gone to the temple though Satan had done his best to keep me away.
After the session had ended Richard and I continued to Ashland to collect Jaime to bring her home for the next four days. She presented me with a cup that has an owl on the side. She said it was for my birthday (which is today). After lunch we hit a vintage store where Richard purchased a pin and a cute bag for me as well as a pig bank for himself.
Before
we pulled up to the house Richard stopped by the mailbox. Inside was a card from Tony and his family. That was cool.
Receiving the card right before my birthday.
When
we arrived at the house the other three were in the room and were waiting for
us. Ally greeted me with “Happy Birthday,
Grandma.”
How did she even know it was my birthday? Claire had baked brownies which she spread with a peanut butter frosting. Ally had wanted one but Claire made her wait until we got home. I hadn’t even noticed the banner hanging over the door.

I found a box of chocolates and a big foot paw (more chocolate) but no more kings.
I don’t recall ever having received a Christmas ornament on my birthday before. Before I was able to remove the ornament Richard told me that the other two kings were on each side. Oh, wow! What a cool idea. I love it!
