Every year I buy a birthday present for myself. It is never anything expensive or extravagant - just a little something that shows I am not dead. Yet.
A few years ago I bought myself a goose down featherbed, another year I bought bedside table lamps because I could not stand the |kea lamps I had inherited from Henry. (They were lightweight and easily toppled over and onto the floor, usually breaking the light bulb.) Last year I upgraded my mobile phone and tablet.
This year. THIS year. This YEAR I bought myself a custom made mother's ring, as mentioned in a previous blog entry. I had placed my order on April 11th and was given a 6- to 8-week turnaround time. Today however I received notification that my new bauble will arrive ON my birthday!
Yep. This makes me very happy.
To me. From me. Because of me.
Happy 51st birthday.
