Seth got me a bike for my birthday and I just took it for a test spin...from our place on the Upper West Side all the way down to Battery Park. It was great! Super way to start my 40s!
Mom got in on Saturday. She's been somewhat sick to her stomach but most likely it's from all of the painkillers she's on because of her bad hip. Hopefully, all of that will go away once she has her surgery at the end of the month. Meanwhile, she rented a wheelchair for a month so we've been trekking around the city pushing her in it. She's even managed to take the subway, something she hasn't been able to do the last few trips of hers here. She could walk down the stairs and then we'd ride to a station that had an elevator and take it up to the street. She's lost weight and her hair has grown back in an inch or two. Looks really good. Soft, too.
Seth's got a little brunch planned for this afternoon and we might go to a show tonight.
As I was riding back, I said it aloud a few times, "I'm 40, I'm 40." A bit odd. I have such clear memories of my mom turning 40. Feels good though. I'm looking forward to the decade ahead! More tomorrow or Wednesday.
