A special high priority project I had been shepherding through to completion was the last important thing I had to wrap up. I thought I had pulled off the almost miracle it was going to take for this project when I got a telephone call that one of the parts was defective and we could not deliver it to the customer. Arghhhh!!!!! The manufacturing facility who made this closed at 1 pm today and will not reopen until Tuesday morning so I can't have that piece remade until then. I emailed the pertinent parties involved and left a voicemail then waited for the ugly emails and phone calls to roll in. Surprisingly not one single person responded so I can only assum that they all had done what I had wanted to do and had taken off early today! I am sure that Tuesday morning my telephone and emails will be hopping. I was tense all afternon and evening expecting my phone to ring. I finally started relaxing about 7 pm.

My daughter and her husband took me out to a Mexican restaurant for my birthday dinner which was nice.

My wife left me on my birthday which was not nice.

Might want to clarify that last statement.

Yup. She has been supposed to go to Mississippi to pick up her mom and bring her back here for about a month. She had things come up during the week so she put it off and then announced Wedneday that she was leaving today!

Birthdays were never a big thing in her family so she didn't feel bad about leaving. When I tried to put a guilt trip on her she laughed and said for me to hold on two more years and she is going to do a big party when I turn 50.

I didn't want a party today but I did want a good chocolate birthday cake!!!!

My family has always made a bigger deal out of birthdays than Christmas. I like to because it's a special day just for that person and not everyone, everywhere, all at one time.
