Happy Birthday to Me

It has been a very lovely birthday weekend. On Thursday, we met Dean, Lauren and the girls to see the circus. We were able to grab dinner together before. The show was fun...a bit different than usual. Also, a bit longer than usual, we didn't get out of the show until well after 9:00.
My official birthday was Friday. I had the opportunity to speak with a friend who needed some help through their journey. I spend the rest of the day listing on ebay. Mom and Dad took the kids overnight so Rob and I could have a date night. We went to dinner at Graziano's and then to see Pitch Perfect. It was so nice to be able to have a conversation and the movie was very funny.
Saturday morning I got up and got out to Salvation. They rearranged a bit over there this week and I think they already weeded out some of the color of the week tags. It wasn't a great picking day but wasn't too bad either. I did a quick run to the other store and then picked up the kids at Mom and Dad's. They had had a great overnight and didn't want to leave. We came home and the kids didn't really want to do anything but hang low. I ended up listing for a bit. In the late afternoon we took a road trip. We did a bit of thrifting. We fit Target for Halloween clearance. We had dinner together and then headed back home.
Today we got up and everyone seemed pretty happy with the time change. We went to church. We came home and Ellie and I ran to return books to the library and Nick and Rob worked on the leaves. We went to Mom and Dad's for family Sunday. Today was Matteo's 1st birthday. Mom made chicken parmigiana (vegan & real), pastas, salad, cabbage, fruit, cranberry sauce. It was a very good meal with brownies for dessert. Jo made TeTe a rainbow cake. We got to visit with the GGs down on our end of the table.
It has been a great weekend. Visualizing my healthy and continually healing body and the new normal, Tree
