With age, one earns the wisdom to appreciate life.

Well said. And with that the wisdom to not let a lot of things bother you that in the big picture really don't matter that when we were younger we probably got all upset over.

Haven't outgrown that yet. I'm a chronic worrywart and probably always will be, but as I gain experience I learn to roll with that.

Good evening,

My 6 day stretch is done, 2 days off, work Friday and then vacation.
I am heading to bed, trying to watch The Goonies, but heavy eyelids are prevailing.

Goodnight, everyone

Good Tuesday afternoon, Christmas friends!

I just got back from my bi-annual stress test at my cardiologist's office. I hate that treadmill! The guy operating it asked if I was ready for it. I said sure. He said, "It doesn't matter. The treadmill always wins." LOL And he was right!

Anyway, after four hours of the aforementioned treadmill, CT scans, and Doppler imaging, I again passed with flying colors. Thank you, Lord!!

I'm back at work trying to catch up on what I missed. I hope y'all have a great day!

Really glad to hear that you had great test results again. Nothing is more important than our health.

 

[Martine]

Thank you, M!!
I will tell him you said so!
It's the big 40

Happy 40th to Adrian, hope he enjoyed his evening celebrations. How does he feel about the big 40? I always said that birthdays and numbers did not affect me but when I turned 40, I felt old for a while, I did not like the feeling. Now I'm back to my regular self.

So this was our last day at the cabin in the middle-of-nowhere. We went to a beach by a lake even further away, great sand and clear water, really nice. We were outside all evening and they built a fire. It gets so dark here that you get mesmerized looking at all the stars in the night sky. But mosquitoes love me and the feeling is NOT mutual, so I turned in a bit early to get away.

Hope everyone had a good day and evening.

Thank you!
He was never a big birthday enthusiast, but he has learned to enjoy them. We have been together for 14 years, and I think it would now feel foreign to him to not celebrate. I think he took turning 40 in stride! Our night was pretty low-key, I picked up some pizza and a cake. We ate, he opened his cards & presents, and took Harlowe for a walk. Then we squeezed in an episode of Stranger Things. It was fun
We will go out to one of his favorite restaurants on a weekend when we have more time.

I remember turning 30 being more of a difficult one for me at first.

Glad all is back to normal for you!

It sounds like you've had a lovely time! The area surrounding the cabin sounds stunning.
Mosquitoes are annoying! I understand the feeling not being mutual.
Hope you have a safe trip back home.
Please give Loki a hug for us!
