Happy Birthday-To Me
Working as a travel nurse has kept me on my toes. With numerous employees and patients that contracted the COVID-19 virus, I’m thankful for my health and the ability to continue working. Because of so many positive cases, all remaining staff members had mandatory testing for which my results were negative. All praises to God for that.
So, I’m celebrating my birthday month in two ways. The first, is by giving back. I did this six years ago in Maui, Hawaii at their local food bank and food kitchen and enjoyed it. For a second time, I have committed to using four hours of the days that have off to help out at the Ozarks Food Harvest. It’s a rewarding feeling to know that a person or family will not go to bed hungry because of your efforts.
Second, I’m treating myself to a wonderful birthday celebration. Although I celebrate the whole month, on the day, I have gathered a half dozen balloons to decorate my hotel room. I will dine at a restaurant that I’ve never tried before and will raise a glass to toast myself with one of my favorite Riesling’s. Dessert will consist of a slice of the original cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory as well as my free Bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes.
I’m a kid at heart so I will be cashing in on those freebies that I’ve signed up for; free meals and shopping discounts that will round out my birthday month. So, readers, stay safe, remain joyful and know that I appreciate each and every one of you!
