It has been a lovely day.
Today was my birthday. All day.
The PTO at school put a happy birthday card in my box, and it had a stupid tiara attached to it, with bright pink lettering that says Happy Birthday. So I wore it. All day.
Besides making my head hurt a little, it meant that EVERYBODY that I saw today wished me a happy birthday.
And I got sung to by several hundred elementary school aged people.
Also, my sister and nephews and adopted sister came by school this morning and presented me with some balloons (that I tied on my classroom door) and a Starbucks, and cards that my nephews wrote to me. What an awesome way to start the day!
AND, every time I went to the office, the office ladies sang happy birthday to me.
Tonight I had rehearsal for the Chorale - the group I sing in. THEY sang to me too, and it probably was the most beautiful happy birthday ever.
So all in all it has been a great day.
Still reveling in the birthday joy,

Callie
This is Callie.

I know it's hard to tell what is cat and what is bed. But she's there.
Right now she's sleeping, making little cat snoring noises. :)
And I do realize she probably looks naked to you. But, Callie's hair is very white, very fine, and very prone to matting up and knotting. So, a couple times a year she gets a "Lion Cut". There is a cute little ball of fur at the end of her tail, and cute tufts of fur around her cheeks. But the bonus to this "haircut" is that now when you pet her she feels like velvet. SO SOFT.
Anyway, I realized this morning that I enjoy having a cat again. It's been several years since I lost Sam and Max, and I didn't realize that I missed having a kitty. Even one who is as vocal as Callie.
Today she came downstairs and starting meowing at me VERY EMPHATICALLY. Since I had just fed her, I finally figured out that she didn't like the open window above her bed. There is a light rain falling and a cold wind, and she didn't like it. Once I come up and closed the window she went right back to bed.
But I was petting her this morning and as she purred at me (sounding like a tractor) I thought about how fulfilling it is to pet a cat. She purred, and I petted away.
It's good to be the (kitty) Queen. :)

heat
Oh. My. Word. The heat.
Objectively, the heat hasn't been THAT bad - we've had worse.
But my school doesn't have AC, and the "normal" heat we've had the past 2 weeks has been awful.
I am SO ready for Fall to actually arrive...
Still sweating a little,
