First time I'm not spending time with my daughter on her birthday and watching her open her gifts. I had her all day yesterday for birthday shopping. Her husband had something special planned for them today. Kind of weird but kind of not. For the 10 years I was married my husband totally blew my birthday off three times. What I want for my daughter is someone to care as much for her as I do when I'm gone. Look out for her and to treat her special once in a while. He's stepping up to the plate and I need to move aside and let him do it. I did leave her gifts to open for today. Nobody goes without gifts to open on their birthday around me.
So instead, in the rain, I cleaned out the garage. I had to hose off some of this stuff anyway.
Surprisingly, I didn't throw that much stuff out, maybe because I gave the trash can it's yearly bath. Most of what left went out in the yard or in piles waiting to go into bleach water and be returned to the greenhouse. And the car is full of stuff to go back to the garden or recycling. Should I open the doors and show off for the neighbors?
