My birthday is almost gone. Thoughts.

I had a lovely but weird birthday.
Many people called me in long phone calls and a also had a couple of presents sent with people wearing masks. At night, a zoom conversation with my family and Dixie. I will have to learn to use Zoom. Up to now, it is not easy.
I decided to cut my hair for my birthday so I took a pair of scissors. If I had enough hair, I would look like the Prince Valiant of the books of my youth. As it is, I look like an aged Woody Woodpecker who has just gone through a fire.
I can understand those old celebrities who destroy the rest of their looks in the hands of plastic surgeons. There´s an age where we need wigs, botox and finally one of those magic capes that make you invisible.
Coralita called me too ( @TheSojourner ). As it always happens with her, I had more than one laugh
I´m in bed now. When I grow up and the COVID-19 is a thing of the past, I´ll give a big birthday party, no matter what the date.
See you tomorrow. I have to do some kitchen work I could not do during the day. Sleep tight.

I wish people would all keep in their home so that this ends.

@amitkokiladitya We are in a 2 month´s lockdown. The authorities are giving out food and money to the poorest. But that is not enough.

@marguicha that isn't possible at all. If people do this again they would die of hunger.

I did. Still, I hope this will pass someday so that I will have a real birthday party.

Everything went very well in spite of lockdown. I felt that my friends cared for me. They all called.

You will enjoy planning a big party once COVID-19 is a thing of the past.

I learned yesterday to use Zoom and the communication was not perfect. But still it was awesome.
