Birthday and the first half of July

Now this is really annoying--I had most of the last two weeks summarized, was just about and the end of yesterday--and it disappeared!  Now I have to remember what I posted and if it was all that earth shattering that it needs to be posted.  Here goes.
The month has gone by quickly-probably because it has included much resting.  My red blood count has been dragging.  I had another transfusion on Wednesday, and that has helped some.  Much of my time has been spent knitting.  I've been ordering really pretty yarns and it is so exciting to see how they knit up.  Everyone will get socks, hats, and/or gloves this year--that is if I can stand to part with my little works of art.
Transfusion Wednesday. Special Eastern Star meeting on Thursday for the purpose of initiation.  We took in three new members and have two more waiting in the wings.  I was very proud of my Officers.  Friday was a quick trip downtown for a haircut that was comped as a birthday present.  That was exciting.  I've been going to the same stylist for about 10 years.  Last year, I knit matching sweaters for her children.
Yesterday was the birthday.  I got up around 10, read the paper and ate breakfast.  I knit until it was time to get dressed for THE PARTY.  I share the day with a friend who was having a milestone birthday--one of those that ends in a zero.  Her younger daughter planned a dinner party for both of us.  I think there were around 50 people there.  My table included Glenn, Elaine, Mark, Rebecca, Rachel, Ryan, and Dory.  Monica had other plans.  There was dinner, wonderful entertainment, presents, and cake!  It was a perfect day.  I was sad to miss open mic night at church--one of those times that you want to be two places at once.  It was a delightful party.  I made the right choice for me.
Church today.  It was our Interim Pastor's last Sunday.  We had a little reception for him and his wife.  I wasn't feeling particularly good, so I was just as pleased when that was over and I could come home and veg.  Tomorrow is my last round of this chemo.  I'll have a scan the beginning of August then find out what's next.
That's it for now.  I had a great birthday.  I'll be smiling for a good long time because of that.  Even if I don't feel my best.  I can still smile.
