My 44th birthday!

April 7, 2026

Day 3,427

Thankful for: 

A beautiful birthday. 

Spending this day at home with my family. 

Quiche for breakfast. 

Two couch naps. 

Beautiful weather. 

Many walks through our forest on our path. 

A nice drive through the neighborhood with Artemis and Matt. 

A delicious dinner: corned beef and cabbage. 

Delicious cake and ice cream. 

Beautiful birthday gifts: a fox quilt, a fox stained glass window hanging, and a German Shepherd stuffed animal to add to my collection. It might seem weird that I still like stuffed animals, but I don't care. 

Going to bed early. 

A good teacher workday.

Artemis girl. She's so sweet. And naughty. But I love her. 

Sitting outside with Artemis. She likes to sit outside quietly in a chair with me. 

Texts with friends. 

A day off tomorrow. 

A beautiful day. 

A nice dinner. 

Beautiful Easter.

Thankful for: 

A good day at home with my family. 

Hearing an owl this morning. 

Time to laugh with my family. 

Being able to go grocery shopping. Being able to buy good food for my family. 

Nachos for lunch. 

A nap in the morning. A nap in the afternoon. 

Matt, Addy, and Tobin made deviled eggs. They did a good job! They are delicious!

A fun day planned for tomorrow. 

Sweet Artemis. I love her. 

A nice text message from my friend.
