It's been a busy week for me, for I  worked extra days at the dojo.  The extra money will come in handy to get Amber an anniversary present.  Speaking of Amber, her birthday is this Sunday,  the same day my church re-opens. It will be a fun day! I can’t wait for her to look at the presents I  got her.  Unfortunately,  we have to get through 9/11 to get there.  A depressing day,  especially if you have a birthday on it like my friend  Mini.  I think I'll give her a call to lift her spirits tomorrow.   I won't be listening to the reading of the names as I have in the past.  I'll probably sleep through the whole ceremony.!  It's  hard to believe it's been 20 years already.  To me it feels like only a few years.  I'm getting old!
