Today is my husband's birthday. I managed to make him breakfast in bed, but forgot a card from the dogs, as is our tradition. We'd agreed to get something on our trip rather than now, but I'm so distracted these days, that I'm not tying up loose ends. I actually agreed to have lunch with my friend today, forgetting what day it was, so I'll have to cancel. I'm going to take my husband to see "The Butler" as he wants to see that film. A million things are going through my head as we get ready for our trip. And I'm worried about my daughter and my friend, as well as the fire. I'm not at my sharpest.
Today is beautiful, and the perfect temperature. I'll probably walk the dogs then figure out a new place to take my husband for lunch. I feel like I've been with this man my whole life, and it has been 42 years. A huge complicated history together. Four children we raised, and saw graduate and some get married and one have a child. And his birthday has always been on the same date as my parents' wedding anniversary. They were married over forty years, and have been gone for almost 30 years. A lot of connections on this day.
