Good morning @Anastasia 🤗
Hoping I got the right day right here ... I'm thinking today is your birthday?
Are you getting breakfast in bed? A special coffee made and brought to you? I know you have the dinner tonight, but hoping there is some special treats in store before then. 🎉🍷🎁🎂🥂🍀💞😊
Sending one very special lady a whole bunch of very special wishes for today and the year ahead. Many happy returns to you. Sent with much love 💖

Oh Em,
You are truly a special soul that I feel so blessed to have "met". I love and am so grateful for our friendship and yes lol it's today. Thank you! The pictures and sentiments are beautiful ❤️
No, my bf is helping my boy out as his world fell apart yesterday and he is supporting him through something he has had lived experience with. They should be here soon. Bf suggested he wake S2 prior but I said pressies and coffee in bed 🤞can wait. 50 Em!!!! Mixed bag about that. Older than bf now lol. I'm sure he'll get a few months of reminding me in prior to his turn lol. What are your plans for the day?
@Emelia8 🙏🤗💐🌹💞

Thank you beautiful L and Levi 💞🐕🐾
You absolutely reciprocate, I love our friendship, never forget that @WIP
You are a beautiful soul for which I am so lucky and grateful for. I pinch myself most days that I found real friendships here. Thank you for your message, not sure about passing as 40 lol but let's go with that anyway 😁😀 Here's to a brighter 2021 now that you have a really great pdoc in place. I love the daily mood record. This will give her something to really work with, clever lady. Looking forward to walking with you dear L (love and light 😁)

Thank you for those kind words this morning @Anastasia . I too am very blessed and grateful for the friends I have here on the forums. And yeah ... you're one special lady. Thats not hard to tell, even though we have not met in person. 🤗
50 today ... gee, I remember turning 50. We were in Brisbane for my birthday and I have a picture of hubby and I on a river cruise to celebrate my 50th. It was very nice, a happy time. Ahh so the BF is a few months younger than you. Yes I expect he will be calling you 'the old girl' ... in a lighthearted way of course. 💓 Really happy that he is helping out with your boys this morning.
My plans for today was not a lot. I did another load of washing this morning while there was some sun around to dry clothes. And its meant to be wet for next several days, so thought I should do a load today. Have you got your washing machine working again?
I had a nice morning cuppa out on our deck in the warm sunshine. I trimmed my furbaby's nails ... something she hates. And she ran and hid under the bed when she saw me getting the necessary equipment. I had to go in and drag her out, poor little girl. But job done now and she has since forgiven me. 😊🐶
Then I trimmed hubby's beard for him whilst outside enjoying the sunshine. Thankfully I didnt have to drag him out from under the bed when he saw me with the shaver gear 🤣 ha ha. Its one of the jobs he can no longer do for himself, with his Parkinsons.
I have just finished preparing dinner ... trying a new recipe tonight, using left over roast chook. Chicken, sweet potato, green peas, cheezy white sauce all over top of a bed of cooked rice and baked. Should be okay.
I exect you will be getting ready to head out for dinner by now, or maybe even already gone. Hope its lovely for you all and that you have a very special evening ... just like you deserve. Much love.
