    Hey, ya’ll! It’s my birthday week!

    As we get older I’ve found that our birthday becomes “just another day.” This year I’m spending my birthday getting my life-saving IVIG. But I plan to still have a wonderful day and I think we all need a reason to celebrate any time we can in these hard times.

    Since I’ve transitioned to getting my IVIG at home, it’s become a much more pleasurable experience if you want to call it that.

    My nurse has become one of my best friends and we spend the day binge-watching our favorite shows and eating yummy snacks. Each month, we try to bring something new for each of us to try. Last month, our favorite snack was dark chocolate-covered raspberries we found in the freezer section of the grocery store and some peach donuts that a local food truck makes

    I don’t have any specific traditions for my birthday but I do like to spend an afternoon with my family and have a slice of my favorite almond cake.

    Is your birthday “just another day” for you?

    Hello Ashley,

    Birthday cakes are no longer my first choice to celebrate my birthday.

    I love fresh sugar cookies.

    My adult children and husband will still by a birthday cake for themselves. I guess it’s not a birthday without a cake. Blah Blah Blah 😂

    While they eat their chosen desert, I’m thoroughly enjoying my plain sugar cookies.

      Good choice!

      I love plain sugar cookies also!! If they’d rather have cake, then there’s more cookies for you!! 😂
