I posted this photo on Facebook to thank everyone who mailed me goodies and let them know everything arrived safe and sound. (Thank you especially, Snarkela.)
My friend Elaine is going to be fine. She has a bruised rib and an unsightly bruise on her cheek, but nothing serious. Still, she was 12 hours in the ER, so she was exhausted and we didn't go out.
But Kathleen and Joanna both checked in, promising that we'll get together after Thanksgiving. Kathleen has had health problems and is super busy at work. Joanna is never on time for birthdays. She depends on Facebook to let her know birthdays roll around.
My oldest friend called, letting me know my gift is in the mail from California and promises that I'll love it.
I'll see John and Gregory on Thanksgiving and we'll celebrate me then, too.
Rita started at work on my birthday. We finally have another writer! I consider her a birthday present. I've been so busy and stressed. It'll be good to have help. I may even be able to take a few more of my vacation days before the end of the year.
So it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad, either. It was fine. I had a fine birthday.
Birthdays are different because of Covid, and I'm glad yours was not bad. I hope the extended celebrating makes up for it!
