just another birthday

Friday the 15th of April was is my 57th birthday. April 14th would have been my sister Pat's 58th birthday. We were born one year, one day, and 5 minutes apart. Only 2 people at my job remember my birthday. My team did not remember. There was no traditional balloons and desk decorations. My extended family (ex-wife and stepson) made a homemade mexican mealm which was nice, but I had to serve myself. I also had to was wash the dishes, since Nina strained her back and foot by standing so long in preparing my special dinner. It got late and the boys were already upstairs, so no birthday cake that night. I ate 2 doughnuts from work. Did I mention no presents, because we don’t have any money. That would never happen on any of their birthdays. They would get very pissed. Should be reading my bible right now to get a better frame of mind.
