update

My birthday was everything I had hoped it would be.  I received good wishes from both my sisters and my daughter, as well as wishes in person from David. I found a new place to get my nails done, and I tried a Cafe Mocha at Starbucks--something I've wanted to do--and learned that I'm not missing anything. It was a good idea to take control and plan my own day, after years of planning for the rest of the family, and feeling disappointed when no-one planned for me.  How silly that was.  So, a good day, and a lesson learned.
