A Real Reason to Celebrate
Although work absolutely sucked, as always, today was a great day nonetheless. I share an office with two other women, one of whom I get along with very well, the other one of which, neither of us get along with. Friday there was basically a huge falling out and now the one woman just makes the whole situation very uncomfortable. Doesn't bother me much, she has the guilty conscience. Even though I don't particularly care and know that I won't have to deal with her after the end of the school year, it makes work that much more unpleasant.
There were two reasons to celebrate today. One was much more important than the other. Today was my mother's last chemotherapy treatment!!! This is the real reason to celebrate. It is also my birthday, but not one of those significant birthdays. We had a little party around dinner time to celebrate both. My aunt and two uncles came over and we had some champagne. There was also angel food cake, but since I had not had dinner yet, I didn't have the cake until after dinner.
Oh, yeah, I ran some today. Nothing exciting. Since I have a million things left to do tonight, I'm going to sign off for now and fill you all in more later.

Oh, come on. Shout it off the rooftops! TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY!!! What a great present that it coincided with your mother's last treatment. I'm glad that the two of you were able to celebrate together.
Happy Birthday! Every birthday is a significant birthday, in my book.
Take care!

Feliz Cumpleanos!!!! (thought I'd add some of my native vibe in there!) I agree with both A's, every birthday is awesome and worth celebrating!!! And even more when it comes with good news for your mom as well! Now just get a new job and you can pop open all those wine bottles you bought!

Congratulations to you and your mom on finishing chemo, that must be a great feeling!
And Happy Birthday!!! That is cool that we are both Tauruses. It is always good to celebrate lots and get lots of special treatment no matter what birthday it is :)
