Luxuries

I had my first manicure in 10 years last weekend. 

It was a nice little $15 luxury, and I met our friend Lindsey there.

Since I am no longer allowed to go to the chiropractor, I finally started allowing myself to get a massage once a month.  That was yesterday.

I am going to the girl I heard about from a former co worker a few years ago, since I tried to get trades going with a couple of different people, and they didn't seem interested.

One of the major figures in the Grateful Dead family died last week.  That was a sad day, but he had been ill for a long time, so it wasn't exactly a surprise.

He was one of the lyricists to work with the band.  SO many songs that he wrote the words to mean so much to me!

Had my monthly injection on Thursday, which was also Dave's 59th birthday.  I am back to only seeing the doc every other month, at least just now. 

I will see him in March, and then I am up for a scan in April, so that will put me back to back, but, at least I got to skip February.

After my appointment, we met Lindsay again, since her birthday was the day before Dave's, and her husband is deployed overseas.

I tend to glaze over Dave's birthday, sadly.  It always sneaks up on me, and I am also very rarely anywhere WITHOUT him, so it's difficult for me to pick out a card.

So, this year, I tried to make up for it by secretly putting out a call to our wide internet community for people to do MORE than just post birthday wishes on Facebook.

He needs to know that people love him!

It worked out really well!  He got a BUNCH of cards in the mail over the week!!

For the moment, that's all I've got.  Have a good Sunday, and an easy week!
