Another of my midweek weekends is over. I don't feel like I accomplished too much., mostly "have to" chores and relaxing. The work week (F,S,S,M) is sure to be busy, another Saturday night concert, this time "Candlebox." And yes, I'm working on my birthday, but since there is no one to really celebrate it with my being at work will keep me distracted.
It's funny, as children we loved our birthdays. Cake, presents, family and friends. After hitting 40 they all seem rather pointless. As in "Yay! I'm not dead yet!" --- my tribute to Monty Python's Holy Grail by the way. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for each day I have. I am thankful for food and shelter and my family, though they are rather far away. I would have loved to kick up my heels and had a time out on the town, but that's not going to happen. I will make it up to myself some other time. A belated gift to myself so to speak.
Normally I pick up a new book as a gift. Ever since Borders closed it's doors it's been hard to find a decent book store around here. The closest Barnes and Noble is somewhere in the wilds of Frederick, MD, and I have not yet explored the town well enough to not get lost. Just the bus station where I picked up Mel when she came to visit.
So instead I picked up a few small items towards Christmas, cards and candles. I am looking forward to the peace of the season, and spending time with family. And church will happen this year, work will not be impeding on my time to attend. I am greatly looking forward to that.
have a good week---end
