HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIM🎂

 Today is my dear friend, Sim’s Birthday, just as it’s mine—🎂🥂🎁🎈🎉🎊

I hope all his wishes come true🧚‍♀️

High on my list of birthday wishes is for everyone we love to take every precaution to remain healthy until a vaccine pins Covid to the mat, freeing us to throw open our doors and come together in celebration of the most ginormous group hug ever enjoyed, over our lifetimes.  And if my birthday wish seems a bit ambitious then let’s differentiate between a wish and a goal—seriously, all wishes are touched with fairy dust and as such are magical in nature, and with that lighthearted thought in mind of sprinkling fairy dust all around—I’ve decided to wish BIG for this reason—why not?

As to yesterday’s news, hopefully, a biopsy, yet to be scheduled, will result in the thoroughness of my medical team and nothing more to incite our concern.

On the upside, Andi has ordered a cake, which she and Michael plan to enjoy on our patio, later, while socially distancing from Steven, Celina snd Ravi, who’s always ready to party.  As to Will, David  and I, we’ll participate wholeheartedly from inside our house, sitting safely, responsibly, and happily right next to our Arcadia door.  

Early evening, everyone in our family plans to zoom with my sister’s family, so—yesterday’s news excepted—today is shaping up to be a very happy birthday, beginning with Sim’s call, this morning, which offered my spirit reason to widen its smile, knowing that I’d readied my sense of mischief to say Happy birthday, right off the bat, to one of my dearest friends, before he could say it to me—thanks to caller ID.  LOL!

Sharing our mutual birthday has offered us both so much fun over these past 60 years of friendship, beginning with our introduction when I was seventeen.

(My nickname in college—why Goobers?  Maybe because that’s what ‘The Guys’ dubbed me—referencing my maiden name—Goodman—along with the fact that Goobers sounds goofy as my sense of humor can prove to be.  Anyway, Happy Birthday, Sim—I hope you enjoy a magical kind of day🧚‍♀️
