Baby sis (whose birthday was in Jan) and I didn't feel we could bear to celebrate our birthdays this year. So we've put them on hold.
Starting Saturday, I'll be spending a week with United Way of Sarasota County (FL) cleaning up after Hurricane Milton as part of a college service break with students. It'll be filthy work all day and bunking at a local church shelter at night.
My mom would be slightly horrified at spending a birthday this way--she so loved luxury and soft things.
But somehow it feels right to me. Not quite a celebration, more as a way of comemorating the gift of this body.
In any case, it'll be different.
