It's a birthday ...

HBD to my eldest -- 28!  We're celebrating with everyone in Asheville for the weekend.  Who doesn't love a birthday?!?

A few updates ...

Canceled the massage for Sunday.  Why?  Got my period yesterday, have poison ivy on my forearms (must be the new pinestraw) and my back isn't great.  Too much stacked against me to enjoy the experience.  

MRI this morning.  I have really bad cramps (always worse when I'm late).  I'm hoping they'll be over before the scan.  It'll be close -- I had them most of the night.  They stop as fast as they start.

Coffee with my GF yesterday was better than it's been in a long time.  Why?  Because we actually hung out long enough to get past the "how's everyone" kind of conversation.  We stayed for 2 1/2 hours which is kind of a record for her.  It was really nice to feel the connection.

I love the new car, but need to figure out a phone mount.  It's going to be tricky to find one that doesn't block the touch screen, but there are a number of options so fingers crossed.

Lots to do today to get ready to go.  Mostly plant related (hah).  Watering everyone (inside and out).  Traveling with a few.  Setting up for the hydrangeas to get planted on Saturday.  And packing a lot of stuff to restock the house.  I have to stop at the bakery this afternoon too.

We might come home a day early since I canceled the massage.  We can load up the sheets and take them back to wash.  We'll see how it goes.  That might make things easier.

I'm nervous about this trip and my back.  And I'm wondering if I'll have a good time (because of limits with my back).  I don't want to wish time away, but I'll be glad when it's over and I'm home (and feeling okay).

Anyway ... have a great day.  Later gators.
