Happy birthday to me

beep beep – beep beep
My phone wakes me. I’ve been here before. A text from my dear cousin: “Happy birthday. Sorry so early, but some of us start work before 10am!”
Oh ha-di-ha.

John rings on the home line; I’ve turned the work phone over to the guys for the day. He wishes me a happy birthday and then says “that’s it”. “Oh, I wasn’t sure if you were about to say ‘can you just…?’”, I say. “No, I’m not going to make you do any work,” he replies. “It’s hard enough at the best of times.”
A little love and respect on one’s birthday is always nice. Or so I hear.

You have happy birthday re-runs on my blog. Maybe next year I’ll mix it up with a dance or something. ;)
Happy birthday to the funniest person I’ve EVER known.
