Dear diary —

Today I drove a car for the first time in a month. I feel almost like a real grown up. Tomorrow I am going out to dinner for my birthday. I plan to wear big boy pants for the first time since the surgery. Then I will be a real grown up.

Love,

Me

All it takes to be grown up is cars and pants? Funny how that takes the mystery out of it... :D

Try walking naked down the highway. You'll spot the difference right quick...

But Jay, shorts would go better with a Hawaiian print shirt anyway!

Thank you very much. Now I have Elmer Fudd in my head, doing Springsteen.

At least I can blame it on you...

As long as you're only "almost like a real grown up". I can't imagine what would happen if you ever became a "real grown up". After all, you weren't one before the operation and that was part of your charm.

Driving a car, big boy pants, a good night's sleep, lunch with Ken Scholes, a volcano-based outing.

It sounds like it has been a good week of milestones related to Getting Better.

Excellent! I hope the good times continue!

Haven't had to watch when I'm drinking while reading you in a while. This entry almost caused an accident in the form of a splattered monitor and drenched keyboard. So glad you're doing much better.
