70 birthdays

 



It’s Sunday right? All I have done is sleep. I’ll get up, hobble to the sofa and then I lay down and do the only thing I am good at - Sleep! 

What a drag. I guess there is some improvement- besides being sleepy, I feel so weak. I’m hoping tomorrow will improve and I can stay awake longer. 

As for my birthday- no biggie. It’s funny because I never used to make big deal out of them and so I should have known when I proclaimed this year’s birthday a milestone to celebrate that something would happen. The last time I was this sick was 3 years ago when I had Covid. I don’t usually get colds - I built up a lot of immunities in 30 years dealing with young preschoolers. 

Friday I bought my chocolate chocolate-chip brownies and chocolate ice cream and still haven’t dug into yet. Maybe tonight, just a little. 

So I now proclaim the whole March as my birthday month! As soon as I am well enough I have a dinner and a lunch date with my son. I can do that - I’m 70!

  1. Well, I hope you get better soon and celebrate the big 7 Oh.

    I hate being sick. I haven't had COVID which is one big advantage of living in the middle of nowhere. But when I went on vacation several month's back. We all came back sick. It took about three weeks to get well.

    1. Ann, so good to hear from you. How are things?

      At this point just feeling well again is my birthday present. I feel like crap.

    1. Good health and feeling good are gifts! We don’t realize it until we’re sick and all we really want is to feel better.

  4. I have a couple of friends who celebrate their birthday for the entire month. Don't think there's anything wrong with it.

  5. I think a birthday month is just what you need!
    My 60th fell in the middle of covid, so it was a bust too, I get how you feel!

  7. Happy Birthday! So sorry your day was a bit of a squash. Y'all can always go do something later when health is restored. You're ahead of me by almost 2 years in the years department. Mine is in May. Technically, I was "in my mommy's belly" (as I used to proclaim), so, I am already 68. It's just a number ... right?! lol
    I'll be right over for the chocolate chocolate-chip brownies and ice cream! Oh my! My fav! I like almost anything in chocolate. It's a separate food group and has no calories you know. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it ...
    Get well soon.
    Blessings. 💙

    1. I had one thin slice of homemade pizza for dinner and it tasted good. But was too full for my brownie and ice cream. That might be for lunch today.

  8. Oh Debby, I sure hope you turn the corner and feel better asap. I think Chocolate anything should be the best prescription for you and your "Milestone " birthday!!. I have beat you by 10 years..I think it's a milestone that I am still functioning.
    Prayers for you as you attack this day...May the 4th be with you (hugs)

  14. Being sick was the sick joke of Mother Nature, or the Germ Fair! lol....I hate being sick. I stay down a lot, today its rainy and that affects my body so bad. I am trying to make myself put down the laptop and DO SOMETHING! If you are like me, you lay around being sick and at the end of the day you are mad cause you did not get anything done? Feel better soon

  16. Your dinner and lunch date with your son will be a fun outing for your 70th birthday. Sons always seem to make our hearts smile, don't they? The chocolate chip brownies sound Yummy. I have some mint chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer that I've been digging into now and then. ; )
