Just finished replying to all the birthday email from work. It was actually moving to see how many people thought of me. Even for a moment. And I thought I was invisible. But honestly, they all received an email today telling them it was my bday. It has been nice in quarantine not to have to interact with other people in formal ways eg. synagogue, office, kids' friends, but it reveals that I have no actual friends. There is no one who would just reach out to say hello. Most of the people I know are actually friends of DH. It's easy to let him be the social one. I realized that the shows I love are about friend groups, The Magicians and The Expanse for example. Is that a common TV show theme? Anyway, it's ironic that I like those shows when I have no friends and make no effort to connect with people in real life. This is not a life-changing birthday wish, just an observation.

So this morning I walked out on the Leverett Pond loop, listening to Levar. Croissant with my tea, a lovely tofu egg and cheese sandwich for brunch. Chilly and gray today. I was up late watching The Nevers (more superfriends) which I quite enjoyed. Especially James Norton. I think I fell in love with his character in Grantchester and now I just swoon. We watched the Philadelphia Story and had Thai. The film is so sexist is painful, but the performances and writing are wonderful. Ah well. Quiet day at home. We watched Honey's final Twelfth Night performance. She got her 2nd vaccine dose. I did some cleaning and biked to B&C for flowers. Saturday the weather was fine. I rode my bike out through the Fens in the morning and we went downtown to walk amongst the magnolias in Back Bay. 76 degrees! Dinner was Dumpling Daughter. We saw Thunder Force, which was light and sweet and watched Twelfth Night again. It was cool seeing a Shakespeare play three times. I want to see a professional performance of it now!

Sounds busy. Lots of food and wine but no big events. Tonight we'll have Veggie Galaxy and CAKE and champagne. It's so much better when it's not Pesach. Nothing will top my birthday in New Orleans. Unless I do it again!
