Tomorrow is my 62nd birthday.

Right now I am a little tipsy as on the way home from giving music lessons today I decided to treat myself to a small thin crust pizza for my birthday which is tomorrow.
I was feeling a little lonely and decided to eat there at the restaurant instead of takeout. (no I'm not drunk on pizza)

While at this little local bar/restaurant, I saw they had cucumber martinis on the drink menu!  A WTF moment...I'm not supposed to have carbs, cheese, tomato products or booze...but I'm allowed to have cucumber...seriously? So I threw caution to the wind for once. I'm so tired of my restricted diet and with my budget, it hasn't been easy sticking to it, not for lack of trying though.

I didn't care. (another) WTF!  You only live once! Four...yes I said four delicious vodka (Illya would be proud) martinis and a small pizza later I am quite tipsy and it feels soooooooo freakin' good! It's been a long time since that's happened!

To my amazement  a couple at the bar paid my tab after they found out I was sort of celebrating my 62nd birthday, alone.  Holy shit.  There is a God and He was looking down on me tonight.

I'm crying a lot right now, though I'm sure it's the vodka...

Sorry Section VII, I was trying to post this in my journal but i don't know what I did, and couldn't fix it. Blame it on the martinis...

Happy birthday! 62 goes down pretty easy, like the cucumbertini. I'm looking at 63 in October. What a lovely fandom and a lovely lady at it's heart.

Thank you so much! Yep, those cucumbertinis made a good impression for sure. And no hangover today, to boot.

I hope you have a wonderful 63rd birthday when it comes. Happy Birthday in advance.

Yes, this is a wonderful fandom and the MFU 'cousins' make for a great extended family.

I'm definitely on the fringe of it but I can see what a lovely, accepting and warm fandom it is. I think it's got to do with the maturity (in so many ways) of the fans. It's the reason my 45th high school reunion was such an emotional and sweet affair--we're all old enough to cherish each other, our shared history and the time we have on the planet.
