Happy birthday/new year

So Sunday was my 39th birthday. I'm on my way now to the Big 4-0. And you know, I'm actually feeling pretty good about it. Sunday was a really good day. I slept in, with Buster kind of snuggled up with me, and later in the afternoon we went out to play and took a nice walk. I tossed his new floppy flying disc he got for Christmas for him, and he made a couple of awesome mid-air catches. There's still plenty of snow on the ground, but it was a warm day, so we were out for more than an hour. Later in the evening, Dad and I went into town and met Mom after she got off work for dinner at a new Mexican restaraunt that was excellent. We were all too stuffed to have cake when we got home, so I opened my presents.

It was an all-Peanuts birthday. I got a Peppermint Patty bobblehead and a Peanuts birthday set by the Danbury Mint from Mom, a Peanuts clock from Danbury Mint from Dad, and from my brother, the next in the series of books of the Peanuts strip collections and some cute Snoopy ice cube trays.






Today, I also had the day off from both jobs. I had a visit with my oncologist for my 2 and half year checkup, and most everything is well. My blood test showed I might have a kidney stone forming, so she ordered another blood test to make sure it's not a mistake, and then we'll see. I sure don't want to go through that whole thing again. But everything else was OK, and we discussed having my port-a-cath removed, which I'll talk more about with my surgeon when I see her next month.

So 2007 ends on a good year. I have a good feeling about 2008. Hope your new year goes well, everyone!
