I am grateful to those who made my birthday special. Thank you to Jessica and David for taking me out to dinner the night before my birthday. Delicious Thai food and a glass of wine. So yummy.
The day of my birthday was paperwork day at my job, so I was
able to go
in later. When I arrived,
there was a gift on my desk from Mindy Levokove and a birthday bottle of wine
from Frida. Then in the back room, there
was much food.
That evening, though two friends wanted to be with me, I asked
if we
could do it the next evening because I was still working on the slice of
memoir I would be sharing in a show the next night – “What Were the ‘60s Really Like?”
The show was really good, and I was proud of my contribution. My creative process seems to include driving myself crazy,
high stress, painting myself into a corner.
And somehow, I birth a piece of writing I like. Whew.
So Judy and Bob came to the show at Cornelia Street Café the
evening
after my birthday. Afterwards,
we went out to celebrate my birthday. I
didn’t have to get up early the next day.
That is another gift. Judy gave
me a book that seems quite unique and interesting. The card came with a picture frame. Very unique and pretty. Bob gave me a toaster oven!
The next day was my son’s birthday. I went over to where he is living with his
father and delivered a gift and expressions of my love. It was cold and raining. So grateful that Bob and Illona did me the
favor of driving me there and back.
Otherwise it would be 4 buses round-trip.
I’m not in financial shape to celebrate the other holidays
much. I hung a decoration on my door
that I made last year with pine cones, glitter, and ribbon. I plugged in some lights that I had never
taken down from the window since last year.
I guess you can assume I won’t be winning any good housekeeping award.
