Happy birthday to me. Thank you. There won’t be much celebrating today though we’ll be going to New Orleans in a couple weeks to celebrate and I plan to wear the king costume from my podcast. An event worth celebrating this morning was my elder princess spelling the word “mat”. For the last couple of days I’ve put more effort into learning cat, hat, and mat. She memorizes so much that I know she can learn to spell those. She’s also been asking to paint day and night, at first I would oblige her to paint once and clean up when she’s finished. Since she’s continued to ask I thought it’s an opportunity for her to paint more. There’s also a lot of letter writing because a cat face is easy to draw. The other accomplishment was exercising two days in a row, it may have been over a year since I’ve done that. No exercise today as I rest and then tomorrow plan on lifting some weights. Every year on my birthday I write a letter to be read at next year’s birthday. Last year’s letter we had moved into a new house and were expecting to have a new baby. With us having to uproot again it seems like a lot of this year’s letter will be similar. I’m very happy how everything worked out.
