K had her big decade birthday today (Sunday). I've been feeling overwhelmed with everything for months, if not the entire year, but this felt like a good opportunity to summon the energy and courage, and commit to doing something extra nice for her. So I spent some time at the local Apple store, and finally settled on getting her the New iPad. She chose a nice bright lime green Smart Case, that should be pretty easy to find. I think it's the first time in years, that I've seen her giggle at how much fun she's having with her new toy.
Then, what to do for a birthday dinner? We struggled with logistics, the last time I took her anywhere, and I was still pretty shell-shocked from that. But again, this felt like the time to step up, and do something regardless. She'd been talking about wanting to try the Texas Roadhouse restaurant, just down the street from Life Care Aurora. The food was delicious! We invited just enough people to fill up a booth, and that worked out just fine. We brought our own dessert, a Blackout cake from the Cheesecake Factory, that was amazing. Nobody could eat more than half a slice, which was later easily explained by the nutritional info on the side of the box -- 1200 calories per slice. Omigod.
