Growing Old in Paradise

.
It's been a long, hard day today. Covering the surgical ward in Dr. Jim's absence is new to me, and took me longer than it will later. And the afternoon just dragged on and on.

But when I finally got home, it was to a birthday supper of pizza (home-made, of course) with lemon meringue pie (my favorite) for desert. The number of candles represents the second digit of my age. Judy has 11 days to enjoy being younger than me.

  3. Happy birthday! Yeah, I understand the covering another ward. It's like when I'm on pediatric surgery trying to round in the NICU...takes me for-ev-er.

  4. Thanks, Clarks, Oviats and Drew! If you were all here, I could turn Surgery ward over to Drew, Hal could take Peds, Susie could handle Maternity, and Dave could take Medicine, and the rest of us could stay home. Steph, you could come choose; do some PT at the hospital, or come to our house for coffee. I like this plan. How soon can you all get here?
