Blood, Business, Birthdays and Boston

Wow. Crazy, crazy times. So, we're in the long haul of the Birthday Fortnight, the roughly two weeks of birthday mayhem that surrounds my two brothers. I make an average of three secret-family-recipe chocolate cakes with frosting I've developed over 15 years (to the point that my mother doesn't even know what I do to it) during that time, and (EESH) eat my fair share of the finished product. And I also tend to go to my fair share of Red Sox games during this time.Talk about an understatement. Thursday night we went to the Cape Cod League All Star Game (where I got my brother's birthday on the Scoreboard at FENWAY!). Friday night we went to the Red Sox game in luxury box seats (SCORE!) and Saturday I literally hid from the world to get a lot of work done on the TownMe website. Sunday morning I woke up at 630 (so NOT a morning person), worked for a few hours, baked a chocolate cake, made the frosting, cooled it, frosted it, hid it from the dog, ran to the Red Sox game, had an amazing time (sans birthday boys with some of my favorite women) and ran back home to have a big birthday dinner complete with prismatic candles. Heck yes.
And then today, I got some bloodwork back and found out that my diabetes is fully under control for like the first time ever. YES!
And today I got an extra assignment for work, I'll find out tomorrow about the permanency of the TownMe job (but I've been pretty thrilled about the work I've been doing for them) and I started a series that I am beyond excited about on Want to Freelance. I've always seen job postings for grant writers but never felt like I had the necessary knowledge, and I know that other writers feel the same way. Break Into Grant Writing is the first part in the series and I'm just thrilled with the work I put into it.
I feel a surge of positive energy lately. Anyone else get that sense? Let's hope it's the beginning of fast and heady days.
