55

Today is Tetsu's 55th birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TETSU!

(he does check my blog while he's on his lunch hour.)

Started off the day with a walk which Tetsu has gotten slack about the last couple weeks. MADE him get up this morning saying it was for his own health to do a little exercise with me every day. I don't know if that's a good birthday present or not.

Came home to read the newspaper and watch the news and I laid my birthday present in front of him which he didn't notice for a few minutes. I have gone shopping for Tetsu a couple of times over the weeks but there is NOTHING that this man needs or wants. Sort of sad really. He has no hobbies, he has nothing he really looks forward to doing on his very minimal free time. Other men like cars or sports or carpentry or electronics or drinking or traveling or something. But I couldn't think of a thing that Tetsu likes to do. He watches a lot of TV but we have a TV. He occasionally goes to a spa and I've bought season tickets for that before but I think he still has some tickets left-over from the Father's Day present I gave him. Just no time to go.

So my present to Tetsu? A buckwheat hull pillow! Big Thrill! But he likes to sleep when he can and he has a grungy pillow that was weeping buckwheat hulls just because of its age. I knew enough that Tetsu only like buckwheat hull pillows so that's what he got. A replacement for the old one.

As for this evening. No big dinner planned because Tetsu announced he will be late (as always) and I shouldn't wait up for him. I guess I won't see him again until I wake up and find his head on the pillow.

Happy birthday to your husband.
I just replaced my buckwheat pillows. I wouldn't be able to sleep without it. My husband says it sounds like I'm sleeping on rice krispies. After 20 years of using that type of pillow I have never had neck and shoulder problems again. Best money I ever spent!

Happy birthday to Tetsu. From the smile on his face, it looks like the buckwheat pillow was a wonderful gift.
Who is this Indra guy? I just deleted his comments, because it looks suspicious. I didn't go to his blog.
