Sick birthday...

I could have guessed I would be sick for my birthday. Not totally sick but congested and feeling kinda achy/sore throat. It wasn’t a washout. We went out to dinner then Juan came by to hang out and down some yummy strawberry cake. The plan was to hit this poker game and take their money but I just wasn’t feeling it. Juan was pressing a casino trip…It was hard to turn down because I haven’t been out there in forever, especially since they added the poker rooms but the funds just aren’t there with taxes looming overhead.

The supposed snow we were supposed to get turned out to be a huge ice storm. I watched the remainder of our snow turn into slush then freeze solid. We have lucked out so far by not losing power, a lot of people have, but we are keeping a watch on the neighbors’ tree limb resting on our wires so we are not free and clear quite yet. Mau was going to move the car back so the tree wouldn’t fall on it but he found the car frozen shut so he couldn’t get to work…he was bummed as you can imagine. This has resulted in 2 consecutive snow days for the kids. 3 in one week? “It’s a miracle!” Sky says since it got him out of his social studies test.
