Thank you everyone. Unit, Bel, Babbles, Steph, Giant, Tamia, huskys, and Nemisis. Hope I got everyone.
I did have a great birthday. I had lunch at my favorite chinese buffet, and then, as I posted, got an unexpected and very nice birthday check from my father, whom I've been having problems with. I was feeling down earlier in the day, but, the fact that my father remembered my birthday, and acknowledged it, in spite of our problems, made me feel good. Now, I have some issues to deal with involving him.
Thanks again, everyone. I appreciate the thoughts and good wishes from everyone.
