I took two extra-strength acetaminophen because a fire was in my head.
9:52 p.m.
Firstly, Hubby and I had a rehearsal this afternoon with our oboist for the new music concert on February 5. We rehearsed two compositions we last performed together 11 years ago, according to �tienne, one a trio for soprano, oboe and classical guitar, and the other a duet for soprano and oboe. They both went very well after a few runthroughs, and we�ll get together and do it again next Saturday. Then Hubby and I went home in the glorious sunshine and rehearsed the song for soprano and guitar, which also went well, considering we hadn�t played it together in a very long time.
We had a delicious dinner at Da Toni, and it turned out that our waiter Patrick was celebrating his birthday as well, so we exchanged best wishes. I had a glass of 10-year-old Pinot Charente as a prelude to my meal, and it was lovely. When the SAQ is no longer on strike I will have to obtain some for my private stash. Back at home we had birthday cake and I got to unwrap presents. I now have an incredible collection of science fiction books to read, as well as four scented candles to burn and three coupons for the vacuuming of Buddy Boy�s bedroom floor to redeem.
Hubby and I then watched Startrek: Enterprise (the show that didn�t get taped on Friday) and he and Buddy Boy forwent their beloved Simpsons and Arrested Development for my birthday pleasure. Then we started watching Austin Power: Goldmember, but I have given up since my sinuses feel like they are on fire and the illness I thought I had been spared is now upon me. I have to teach tomorrow and rehearse with France, though, and I promised Patsy that I would be at belly dancing, so an early bedtime is in order.
Once again, I am so overwhelmed with all your good wishes. Thanks muchly.

from zuzus-petals :
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! My birthday is the on 22 of September and my parents were married on the 23 of November... my mother always mixes up my birth date with her anniversary date and one or the other is invariably celebrated on the wrong date each year. She also, without any signs or symptoms of alzheimers or any other neurologic impairment, forgets my name.. each of her four children�s name has become some hybrid of at least two names from the pool that includes the names of all of her children and the names of all the family dogs. My partner, his mother invariably calls him by the name of any one of his brothers.. and before getting to his name, will also use the names of the family dogs. I say.. if your mother called you on or around your birthday and wished YOU a happy birthday (not a sibling or the family pet a happy birthday) - you're sitting pretty! So.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and enjoy your next trip around the sun! -Zuzu

Well, what can i say...like zeusus-petals (sp?) my mom�s is on the 22nd (or 21st...? Now I forgot, perhaps 21/10/22??), and dd�s on the 23rd and ds on on the 20th, and I do get confused sometimes. (not all the same months, mind you...) I don�t think it�s alzheimers - as I have been doing this for years. I get so anxious about missing the birthday, that I send it early!!! I have now entered the correct dates for all concerned into my Yahoo Calendar....hopefully, next year you shall get it bang-on the correct date. Anyways, NOW, can I wish you a happy birthday?? PS, �merde� is in the mail!! And whoop it up today, instead..although with hubby in his bad way....?!?!
