In March, I hit one of those milestone birthdays. You know, the ones that end with a 0. Obviously, it didn't sneak up on me, but it's still taking some getting used to.
My birthdays often fall during month end close at work. At my current job, it's quarter end close, so that's even busier. But, my birthday was on a Saturday this year. And it happened to be the Saturday that my friends still host their monthly game day. Yes, they knew, and they made sure I was wished a happy birthday. And they let me pick where we got dinner from (Chick-fil-a, for the record). I even won some games that day. One was a set up, but I don't think the rest were.
The following week, my brother and his family were in town for a day. The original plan had been to go to Magic Mountain, which I have a pass to this year. But it was cold and wet most of the week, and that day wasn't looking any better. We decided to call it off, and then they wound up not opening at all that day anyway. So they came over to my place and played some games. It was a good day.
Then, the following week, we spent some time together in Palm Springs. My parents and uncle and aunt were also there. I wasn't expecting, but they had cake and ice cream for my birthday. Yes, we played some games, but we also swam and played some pickleball. The weather had really changed, and it was significantly warmer than it had been just a few days before. Considering we were there to swim, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It was a good month.
