birthday celebration was good. cake, good. very good. enough food was consumed by me, personally, that i won’t need to eat again until my next birthday.

mom asked me the other day if i ever sleep through the night. i told her that i usually do, but on those occasions when i’m wide awake, sometimes i write.

we ate at randy’s house; he’d gone to a lot of trouble, including getting a giant balloon that sings! you tap it, and it’s an elvis-like voice singing happy birthday. very nice. i took a bunch of photos, but i’m not about to get up and upload anything right at this moment. and tomorrow i’ll be much too busy…and boy, i wish i was sleeping now. the birds sound very cheerful outside. maybe i should get up and run, since it’s probably getting light. WHAT ARE YOU, CRAZY? no, of course i won’t get up and run.

counting sheep, maybe i’ll try counting sheep. in theory it’d be pretty, watching the sun come up.

in theory.

ok then,

grace soon, very very soon, to be asleep again….
