I never enter my birthdate on forums for fear of doxxing myself. Plus I all to often feel : what the heck is there to celebrate? But what the heck. It's my 60th (Jesus! seriously) round about now-ish. and for some strange reason I feel like celebrating...in a very low key way.
Actually, a few weeks ago, i was talking about this with my sister and said "you know, I've never had a surprise party, and i'll never have one now cos..."
I was going to say "everybody's dead" or something like that. I mean, the number of deaths amonst family and friends these past two years has been ridiculous. So it's hard to imagine how the few people left could possibly make up a party between them . But my sister cut in and completed my sentence with
"Yeah. You can't eat birthday cake. You don't drink..."
Oops, yeah, that too. It's really hard to think how to celebrate anything these days
Indeed , i usually stay away from parties (don't we all?)
But , hell and dammit, for some unfathomable reason, I feel like celebrating that great big zero this time around . And I've actually bought myself a box of Booja Booja chocolates. So do feel free to post some virtual cake
