Normally I spend my birthday with my mom and sister. Not this year. This pandemic messes with so many things that were once considered normal. Things that I’ve taken for granted.

My friend brought me lunch today. That was secondary to seeing him. I video chatted with my mom and sister which is definitely not the same as being there.

I’m not sad about not being able to see everyone today but I do wonder how many birthdays I have left and hope that at least one of them is close to the way they used to be.
