This is a story about the day before today.

Abbreviated version:

1. Woke up 5am, puttered around on the puter, checked my ebay etc...
2. Showered then found that my kids woke up just cause they knew I'd be working early, I got the birthday hug from them I didn't think I'd get.
3. Went to the job aforementioned in previous post and worked a 12 hour day.
4. The nice boss bought me breakfast and lunch... From a place called Orsella's. Philippino food, it's friggin' delicious stuf I tell ya.

OK screw the abriviated part, I just can't put all that fantastic stuff into a list... Just isn't gonna happen today... Did you know philippino cuisine includes a dish that is made from lung? hahahahaha I joked with my boss who also coincidentally delivers oxygen to my mother. I said "Hey, can I get some of that lung to go? My mom needs lungs..." In actuality though the cuisine known as lung is rather disgusting. It's rubbery and spicy. Ughhhh

My family lead by my wife had a HUGE feast planned out for me, they fed me (gluten free) pizza & chicken wings, had chips, ice cream etc... Bought me presents and surprised me with a gluten free cake that my daughter made for me. OH MY GOD, do you have any idea how friggin' amazing my family is? I love them so much and would not even get out of bed if it wasn't for them. I was so exhausted from having done 12 hours physical labour after not being in a real physical job since working for my brother like 5 years ago. And I felt so ashamed that I was beat down to the last ounce of strength. I could barely blow out the... 36 candles, they couldn't fit 37 of them on the cake.. hahahah but still, there was a good flame, literally... I could feel the intense heat from it and I really paniced when I saw my daughter carrying the cake past my mother's face... everyone smiling I reached out and gently guided her to a safe distance away from the oxygen tubing that my mom wears 24/7

Probably the best possible topper to the day was how my daughter, sweet wonderful girl that she is put cream on my sore achy feet... I fell asleep before she had finished but I remember her hugging me and saying "Good night daddy, I love you..." Ah damn it now I need to wipe the keyboard...

There were other good things too though, like througout the day I recieved facebook and twitter messages over and over again "Happy birthday Don..." It put a smile on my face each time my phone beeped with a new greeting from an online friend or relative.

Fantabulous Eh?....
