I got a nice birthday present and the gravel delivery arrived before 7am so I could get it moved before starting work tomorrow. Saved myself two hours. I used the rest of the day to knit and read, and then we went to Cooper’s Hawk for dinner. We didn’t love it – the food was excellent, but we didn’t enjoy the atmosphere. It was loud and not very intimate or cozy. I got a very good martini, though, and toasted Mom with the rest of the family. Nice birthday.

I didn’t get to have my birthday martini on my birthday, so we went out tonight and celebrated my mom on the anniversary of the day she died. A martini costs the same as a two-course entree and soft drink. The days have been getting away from me, but it’s important for me to remember. I wish there were no regrets, but my relationship with my mom is full of regret. Love and regret. But I raise a toast to her and the continued peace I hope she finally has.
