I Never Get What I Really Want

Is it real estate?  No, that is Lucy’s wish (Charlie Brown Christmas)
 
Actually, I usually do get what I want.  I'm super lucky.  It probably helps that my wants are few.  But this year I wanted something really big and important for my birthday (which was Monday).  I'm happy to say I got it!  The test results after my wife’s surgery were all good--best gift ever!  She’s still sore, but we’re all smiles.  Yay!!!  Due to her weakened condition, I’m winning most of our little disagreements this week.  I know that won’t last very long. 

There was something else I kind of hoped would happen.  There was a slight chance I would get to share my birthday this year with a new arrival.  Two of my friends (Yi-chia and Megan) are expecting baby girls and both are due any day now.  As far as I know they are both still patiently waiting for their girls to arrive.  Why do girls always make us wait???  :D

Happy Friday!

      Thanks Kathy! She's recovering well so far--we just have to make sure she doesn't try to do too much (she keeps trying)!

      Thanks Lisa! Earlier in my marriage I might have mistaken me prevailing as the new normal. I know better now. :)

      Thank you! My daughter was really late. Instead of arriving mid-December she ended up missing the tax exemption by 5 hours.

    Happy belated birthday, Rick! I'm so glad to hear that all the test results for your wife returned positive. That's a cause to celebrate and definitely one of the best gift to wish for.

    Monday as in 10 March? This happens when I read your blog post late. I thought I've wished you before or was it another friend? Hmm...
