Hell Exams are over (until Dec. 11, when I have 2 more) and I did well, and thus it has been a constant celebration since Tuesday night.
The Western Univ. GLBT club had an end of semester BBQ/pool/hot tub party at Beth's that evening, which was a most titillating experience. Even though it was a club function, I was celebrating getting through the exam with brain cells left intact, and inching that much closer to 40.
The fun had actually started earlier that day, as B whisked me off in her BWM to get a pre-birthday manicure and pedicure as part of a week-long 40th bday celebration extravaganza.
Yesterday, I blew off the morning classes, and spent the entire day blissfully lounging poolside or in the hot tub, sipping some bubbly stuff, back at Casa Rega, and enjoyed being spoiled.
Today we had a few morning classes, but that was followed by drinks with the boys at Characters (local campus watering hole). Tonight I am attempting to be a med student for a few hours and am actually going to study. Tomorrow I will be at the beach with Deb, spoilng myself, and pretending I am 21 again.
Saturday is the big soiree here ... and so much needs to be done before then, I can't even think about it.
Honestly, I thought I was going to go into 40 kicking and screaming, but as it turns out... it ain't so bad. And my wonderful friends here at school are making this transition into senility that much easier.
