I had told P that I wanted a $30 set of speakers for my birthday. He didn’t get a $30 set of speakers. I took yesterday off, but I did work on my actual birthday. Anyway, this is not speakers.

He also got me a cool little collapsible rake that I’ll use this fall and next spring, and…cake!

Miff and I didn’t accomplish much of Friday, but we did watch my new smart TV!

After USPS sent it to a town in MO with the same name, my solution for Bulky’s ugly plastic bag of straw arrived in the form of a leopard print nylon laundry bag. He’s fine with the change.

I’m actually writing this on Saturday night (10th) while P decides which Pokey-thangs to evolve, but I’m going to change the date to my birthday so I’ll be able to find it more easily in the future. I had a good birthday; C and The O bought me frosted pink Pop Tarts, and C made me take Friday off. P ordered me pizza for supper on Thursday, V texted me in the morning, T texted me, and R and Dad called in the evening. I talked R through getting their TV sound bar working, and then yesterday, I talked her through getting her phone and a tablet very like my 7″ one onto wifi. It was fun, being 29…again. Dad also said that on September 9th the year I was born, it was 36C, which is VERY hot for NS in September, especially back then… 29 years ago. 😉
