Tried posting something awhile ago, but couldn't. It's been raining here all day which means lousy internet connection for me.

Thanks to everyone for birthday wishes. I had to laugh at myself yesterday. I'd forgotten it was my birthday until I got a text from a friend. When I was younger I couldn't understand why "older" people would say that their birthday was no big deal. I guess I know what they meant now. Gus, that is one incredible lizard cake!

Several of you mentioned resting for my birthday. Er, ugh, I spent the last two days busting my arse taking care of things at Mom's house. I don't know what the heck the nasty letter was about. The place needed some spiffing up, but there are other houses on the block that look worse. BTW, I'm still waiting on a reply from the president of the HOA.

I was up before the crack of dawn this morning. I had to reset the time on my alarm clock last night. I messed up and set it for the wrong time. Ended up with the alarm going off at 6, not 7!

Up early to call the vet to see if she could see Boomer (cat) today. I got home yesterday to discover he was one sick boy. They are so great at my vet. The schedule was full, but they squeezed us in. The little man may have an upper respiratory infection of it could be something potentially very serious (cancer). We are treating it as if it's an infection. If he's not on the mend by Monday we need to go back for follow-up. Been a rough year for the cats. Krissy died in January. Ollie is still dealing with his ongoing urinary problems. Now Boomer.

I decided to be wise and give my body a chance to rest today. It's rained all day so working outside was not an option. I spent the afternoon lazing on the couch reading, dozing, watching the babble box. I know it's what my body needed but I feel like a lazy slug. How do the rest of you cope with doing what's right for your body and that nagging little voice in your head that says you are being lazy?
