Happy Birthday to me!

So today was my birthday. I’m now 40 years old. It’s a big one though doesn’t feel like it. Just another number I guess.

I took off from work for today. Picked up my cake from Wegmans, and just did some laundry and read mostly. Poked about online and watched some TV as well.

Had beef stew for dinner as I usually do which my mom makes. Was awesome as usual. Obviously for desert the cake.

Had gifts as well. My mom gave me a card and some stuff from her and my dad: a body pillow for my bed, some American Girl doll clothes for my Kirsten doll, a plush version doll of Kirsten, and a plush of a ferret as a hot dog. My sister got me a card as well as a bell for sisters, a brooch with a rose on it, and a fairy Precious Moments figurine. Also got a card from a manager from work who retired like a year ago. Surprised she remembered. Will probably call or write her tomorrow.

One thing to add. This happened yesterday when I was leaving work. After exiting the lobby at McDonalds there’s an entryway you go through. In the one I usually go out to leave was a white feather. Now, I’m sure most people would think it’s nothing. But I like to think it was maybe an Angel feather, possibly from my brother (he died like four or five years ago). He usually seems to come around around my birthday. My mom is good at sensing that stuff. She usually can smell him. I did smell him one of the nights last week, though I had thought it was just a smell, but my mom said it was him. Wouldn’t surprise me. My mom always claimed I was his favorite. Regardless, it was nice if it was him.

Whoa!

I know I hadn’t posted in ages, but I didn’t entirely realize how long. 😅

Well, I’m sorry I haven’t posted for so long. Just hadn’t really felt like it. I honestly haven’t been all that active anywhere online all that much. Partly depression, lack of motivation, and partly health stuff. Been very tired. I’m trying to be more active online though. Regardless, I haven’t given up on this site.

I guess I’ll briefly go over what’s gone on. Mostly just a lot of health related stuff.

My mom was in the hospital a few times. She’s still not great, but better than she was.

As for me still having issues with my bladder/kidneys. Actually had minor surgery so they could send a scope in my bladder. When they put the dye in they found that I guess when I urinate some of the urine goes back up in the kidneys. They have me on some meds for that. If those don’t end up working they’ll try botox shots, and after that surgery to fix that. And besides that I have anemia. My iron was low and I was getting infusions to help with that. Now, my iron is better but still have anemia symptoms. So, they’re trying to find what’s causing it. They want me to see a kidney specialist. We’ll see how it goes.

I’m okay, just often sore and tired.

I guess that’s about it for now.

A belated HappyHolidays/Happy New Year!

I guess I should update again. 😛 Also a belated Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Holidays, Christmas in my family’s case were fine. More low key even than usual since my sister had the flu and she was staying home. We did have her dog she had dropped off before work like a week before though. 🐶 Sister was able to spend New Years, not that we ever do much for that either.

Right now not a lot going on. Just the usual boring stuff. Right now feeling very tired. I’d love a nap, but can’t.

Meh not really much of an update I guess, but felt I should post something. 😛
