Happy Birthday

On Grandmother's houseboat on the Columbia River, 1955

Yes it is that darn time of year again to wish me a Happy Birthday!  Wasn't too sure there would ever be another there for a while last year!

Unlike all previous years, this year I celebrate with no knowledge of ever having had a previous birthday!  It is so weird to "know" that your mind has been for the most part wiped clean.  Too weird!  It has been over 90 days now and still I only have pieces of what used to be memories but that is all.  It is like watching a film, you know what happened but there is no connection or "ownership" to any of it because it does not involve "you".  Sigh, no personal connection to anything of the past!  But, I sure wish they had used other gases on me in that last surgery.  I did hear that if they used too much morphine on me in the days after the surgery, this could do this to the old bean as well.  Yet, the brain functions quite well - it just lacks historical data now to judge anything by.  Weird.

Today, one or more of my children is apparently taking me out for the day- so I have been told to keep the day completely open.  I have no idea what to expect!  If I had to guess it would be my oldest, as she does the most stuff with me.  She also lives the furthest away!  It is true, you see more of your kids once they have move out!  Even if they live over an hour's commute away, LOL!

Do not know when she or they are appearing at my door, no idea what we are going to do, other than it takes all day.  So, in the meantime while I wait, I will work on getting ready for the end of month antique show I am doing.  Lots of sorting and research before I can begin pricing.  And, I have this show to do, then I will be in Tucson for a week, come back and do my largest antique show, then turn around and do a swap meet in early March.  Argh!  Three shows with only a few days between each of them to get ready for the next one!

So, I will let you know next week what fun was to be had!
