A full weekend

[klwilliams]

On Saturday some friends threw a birthday party for me. My actual birthday isn't until Thursday, but Saturday is a great time for a party. The day was sunny and warm. The food was plentiful and excellent. The company was superb. The clubhouse is finally at a point where it can be used for guests, though there are still some boxes that need emptying. I had a great time, though I tired early.

Today was taxes taxes taxes. Mac couldn't understand while I not only wouldn't let him sprawl on my desk, I also wouldn't let him stay in my study. He wanted to help. Really, he did. And despite his lack of help, I finished the taxes. Finally.

So I'm exhausted from Saturday and from today, and I just can't sleep.

My stepmother called me this evening. My father, who is 74 and a stroke survivor, is in the hospital. He has pneumonia in both lungs, and a urinary tract infection. His memory hasn't been good lately, and he's extremely thin. He only eats one meal a day.

Pen will call me tomorrow and let me know how he's doing.

The party sounds lovely but I'm sorry to hear about your dad - my best wishes to him and to your family.

A good birthday party is beyond price. Happy (early) birthday!

Oh crap, that doesn't sound good for your dad. I'm thinking good thoughts - please keep us updated.

Mixed blessings - ain't life always/often this way. Happy happy Birthday and I'm delighted your party was a success.

But so sorry to read about your father. I hope he pulls through.

I am glad your party was so wonderful. Happy Early Birthday. Way to go on getting your taxes done. I am sorry about your dad. I hope he gets better fast.

I disagree.

Early? You went 9 hours of party! That's not early. You weren't the first one to leave, nor the first one to fall asleep.

Glad the party was good for you. The food, of course, was superb, and the company delightful. I hope your father improves.

As of yesterday he'd been improving steadily. I haven't heard today, but I'll call my stepmother tomorrow and see.

Speaking of which, happy belated birthday! Hope the actual day was good, too!
