I got what I wanted for my birthday: a smoke-free day and a home visit from The Boyfriend! He's been camping out at the Boundary Fire for what seems like forever, working 14-hr days and only available for short visits after 11pm by the gate before he goes in and collapses and starts another round.
My son called me in the morning and woke me up out of a bad dream, which I appreciated.
Neighbor Dave took me out to lunch, and on the way into town my son called again and sang Happy Birthday to me, politely waiting until I merged onto the highway first. I have to admit that when he sang "Haaaappy Birrrthday dear Mooooommmmyyyyy" I got a little tear in the eye, but it was a good tear. That's the best present I could possibly get.
After lunch we watched This Is Spinal Tap. Then Dave went home and I took a nap. What a great day!
