My Birthday Week!!

Tomorrow is my birthday!  Birthdays seem to come around every six months, don't they?  Especially when you get older!!

The original plan was to celebrate with daughter & family tomorrow.....sadly our son-in-law's aunt passed away....her services are being held tomorrow.  Fully understand...."festivities" have been moved to Saturday!   Daughter in Nova Scotia has sent a parcel for me....it is idling on the kitchen table...tempting to tear into it...but will restrain until the weekend!

And...it's officially "spring"!  Which means nothing....other than a day on the calendar...at least where we live!  Currently it's -5 and windy....so not "spring" like at all.  We don't feel winter is officially over until about May...even then we've had snow storms then too!

We spent an afternoon with grand baby....taking her around to a couple of parks...but other than slides....she is still too small for most things at play grounds.  And swings...taken in for winter....are still packed away.  But she and Grampie had a fun time on the slides....

Climbing is fun too!!

And we even found a teeter-totter!  She had a great time!  To hear her giggle & laugh makes my heart full of joy....

We finished off the afternoon with a takeout pizza from Domino's to share with her parents....and rumour has it - she was ready for bed early!   Nothing like fresh air...even if it was cool & brisk!

I'm heading back to the hospital this week for another iron infusion....one of two I'll be undergoing.  Can't seem to get my iron levels up.  I am anemic...caused by an auto-immune disease that prevents my body from absorbing iron.  The Dr. has to keep a close eye on my levels....although it's evident in how I'm feeling.  Sometimes though my levels drop dangerously low....as they are now....and a blood transfusion may be required in the future I've been advised. 

Such is life!  Grandbaby's birthday is coming up fast upon us....as well as Easter!  We are looking forward to those celebrations....and dreaming of warmer days and being able to get outside and get into spring clean up!!

Thanks so much for spending time with me today.  I hope you have an amazing day...and it's Monday!!  And that means we'll be joining the blog party at Between Naps on the Porch for  Metamorphosis Monday.
