Shower Me With Love

It’s the first of my two birthdays and it’s also Thanksgiving in Canada, so Thanksgiving is the day all of Canada celebrates me and is thankful that I was born. It’s my birthday again on October 12. The reason I have two birthdays is so anyone who forgets to shower me with love and affection today can correct the error in four days. Anyway, so yeah. Happy Birthday to me! Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

We Are So Lucky

Hope your birthday was special and fun, celebrating you was awesome. Because you’re just about the best there is. Because despite my perfection I know sometimes I can be a lot and Asha too. Because although we know you are lucky to have us we also know the reverse is true: We are so lucky to have you. You’re an excellent human. Happy birthday, Dylan! We love you!

All My Love

Shoutout to Asha, my beautiful girl, thanks for making me your mom. There’s nothing I would rather do than to keep loving and taking care of you. Happy Mother’s Day to me and to all mothers. Keep up the good work. Dylan was on the road yesterday so Mother’s Day for me is today. It’s my first day off since forever and I’m thrilled. I don’t know where to start, I almost don’t even know what to do. Let the games begin. One, two, three, fun! All my love to everyone.

Happy Many Days

Happy many days after Valentine’s Day to my favourite Player 2. I’m outlandishly preposterously late but what else is new. Still thankful and so glad I get to play the game with you. You are the shit, too legit to quit and I am here for it. Thanks for all you are, thank you for all you do. I love you. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Winter Concert Potluck

Asha’s last day of school was on Wednesday and the following morning we had a Winter Concert Potluck. Dylan sadly couldn’t be there but auntie Ngoc and auntie Natasha and uncle Jan all came through. Asha calls Jan uncle daddy and she talks about him a lot. The kids performed some special songs with varying degrees of success. All of it was precious.

Twice

Hi, it’s my birthday and it’s also Thanksgiving long weekend in Canada. Thanksgiving is the day all of Canada is thankful I was born lol. It’s my birthday again in four days, remember, I have 2 birthdays. The reason for the 2 birthdays is to give everyone twice the chance to celebrate me. Ha ha. Yay. I’m so lucky. Happy birthdays to me!

Here’s to 17

To my wonderful husband. You are the best and greatest. You’re the very nicest part of my whole life besides Asha. Here’s to 17 years, look at us here, mere babes in the woods, we’ve come so far and still going strong. We’re gonna break all the love records (though I think Heather’s grandparents just celebrated 60 years so we still have a ways to go lol) but I am confident that we’ll make it through, I have faith in us, I really do, I think if anyone can do it, it’s me and you. I love you so much. Happy anniversary!

You are a marvelous human being. Feather and Daisy are lucky to have you as their pack leader, Asha is lucky to have you as her daddy, I’m lucky to have you in my life, it’s a joy and an honour to be your wife. Thank you for everything you are, thank you for all that you do. You are the best. I love you.

All This Again

I’m about to undergo major dental surgery, I have to get another bone graft, unfortunately, since the previous procedure was successful, but there was further bone loss. Last time I had both a bone graft and a sinus lift and the operation was brutal. The healing afterward was even worse. I thought about pain and suicide, not so much that I was going to kill myself, but about people enduring such persistent perpetual pain they saw suicide as the only way to end it. I can’t believe I have to go through all this again. Fuck. Thoughts and prayers, friends, thanks.

I Cut Myself

I cut the shit out of my finger this morning, spent 3 hours in Urgent Care and got 4 stitches. Now the finger in question is all useless and hurts like a motherfucker, I’m 2 finger typing, it’s uncomfortable, and it blows. Hello Wednesday!
