Birthday Loot

Mostly, my birthday gifts this year came in the form of cash. Which is fine by me. But that doesn't make for very good storytelling. The one non-cash gift of note was from Tree. She got me an electric matress pad. Previously, getting into bed when the weather got chilly was a shiver inducing exercise. This is made worse by the fact that our bedroom is the second-coldest room in the house (after the converted garage). Now we can get into a toasty warm and welcoming bed at night. This is one of the better gifts I've gotten in my lifetime.

Obviously, this gift is for Tree as much as it is for me. But that's fine, 'cause half of it was paid for with her birthday money, and the other half with mine.
