In His Steps

This week after my birthday has been really hard, so Rosslyn and Spousal Unit decided I needed to get out for a little while and see some of the beauty around me. It did help, but you can somewhat see in my selfie that I was sad. But they love me and take care of me. Not much more can be asked of them than that.

My Birthday this year opened with a lovely surprise on my nightstand. My beloved husband had set a bouquet of tulips and a chocolate bar there to welcome me awake. Douglas surprised me with breakfast: Belgian waffles with my favorite cheese on top, gjetost. (Look it up and try it, it's wonderful.) My mother and sister had gotten me a present as well, so I tried on the beautiful blouse and sent them a photo so they could see, but today I wore my new pink lace dress. I feel like a pretty princess in it. A few days ago, I received my present from Andrew, which had been ordered back in February or March (can't remember). A beautiful, shiny new laptop for gaming on! My old laptop was slowing down, dying, and couldn't game at all, so I was constantly taking over our main computer to game. This way, the family machine would not be usurped when I was depressed and I wouldn't have to be in a public space when I didn't want to talk. ...

Rosslyn has been doing aikido for some time and she had a demo earlier this evening! Most of our posse was able to turn out to watch, so I got some photos of her doing her thing. She's helping bring out the mats. Lining up. Performing some katas (I think that's what they are called).

My sister has her birthday tomorrow and we celebrated today by all going as a group to the local Aquarium. It was a beautiful trip, though crowded. My pictures were unclear inside and not as good as previous photos I've taken of the place, so enjoy some shots of my sister and her boyfriend afterwards. She was so happy to see him.

Camilla's beau, the Technomancer, had to go to a work thingy and asked me to watch his kitties while he was gone. I was more than delighted and took oodles of pictures of them while I was playing with them. Enjoy their adorableness. This is Demon. She's very playful and into everything. This is Sabrina. She's very shy and doesn't like strangers. And this is Mickey! He's elderly and a bit ill, but he was willing to play and seemed to be doing alright while I took care of him. So. Cute.
