Hot Birthday!

Yesterday another year skipped right passed me. Another birthday is history. This has been my hottest birthday yet.  Too bad it wasn't because of my smoking hot body that could make a man fall to his knees. Nope haven't had that kind of body for years. But, I am working on that part again. Trying to get myself at least in half the shape I was 30 years ago.

So, yesterday started out with me kicking covers off me in the early morning as usual. Hot flashes like to come in the early morning and just hang out all day long sometimes. But, I am used to them now pretty much. I always have my little fan handy and something cold to drink in the fridge. That is all I need for right now at least. Hopefully, it stays that way. So, I kicked the covers off and decided that sleep had abandoned me for the rest of the morning and I got up. I looked at my sleeping son and then came in the other room and looked at my sleeping mom in her bed.  And  my snoring nephew who was twisted in an awkward position on the couch. He reminded me of a pretzel almost. His leg was on the floor, his other leg on the couch, his body twisted towards the back of the couch and his one hand on his side. It looked sort of funny and totally uncomfortable. If I had slept like that I would  be in pain for a month. 

I was sort of bummed that nobody was up to sing happy birthday to me. Ok, now they probably wouldn't have sang to me anyway but hey, I could hope. I got myself a glass of ice water and went back into my room and checked my phone for text messages full of birthday wishes. I just knew there had to be some. I was thinking about 200 at the least. Yes, I was still on fantasy island. I read the 3 that were there. My friends need to wake up earlier especially on my birthday. So, far I was good with the flashes. Only that one and I crossed my birthday fingers that I wouldn't get too many more. Even though the weatherman said it was supposed to be a pretty warm day.

Eventually, my family woke up and nobody seemed to want to sing happy anything to me.  I was not surprised so I just started singing it myself. I guess I was irritating my mom when she told me that it was too bad that I didn't have anyone to come and say it to me, meaning a boyfriend, yes, it only took her 51 years to get interested in my social life, I told her I didn't need anyone to sing it me when I can sing it myself and have my cake and ice cream too. Which I did for breakfast.  And again after dinner. I thought about it for lunch too but I thought that would be doing too much. 

I was hot for most of the day, they came and they went and I fanned and sang, ok, I fanned mostly since my singing had gotten on everyone's last nerve. But, I figured that one day of me singing would not give them ear damage. 

I didn't get any gifts to open. I got cards to open from friends in snail mail and on email and on Facebook which made me happy. I was hot and glad that people took the time to remember me on my special day. But, I wished that the hot flashes would have forgotten me.

So, I toasted myself  yesterday and said CHEERS to another year of ME hotness and all.
