I turned 45 on September 14. It was a good day, one that began with the discovery of a birthday card and a tiny china creamer stuffed with dahlias on our front stoop, an early-morning delivery from thoughtful friends. I’d taken off (paid) work for the day and, since we have childcare from 8 to 1 on Thursdays, would have the morning to myself. I thought I might read a book or take a long walk, but instead I wound up climbing back into bed and lying in a patch of sunlight until lunchtime. It sounds mildly depressing when I write it down, but it was really nice. In the early evening, we joined some friends for Chinese takeout and Negronis. After dinner, we crammed into their bathroom — four adults, two fifth-grade girls, and one eighth-grade boy — to accessorize ourselves with metallic temporary tattoos and stick-on rhinestones. Then we set out via light rail for the Beyoncé concert.
I loved reading this! Happy birthday and happy new antibodies : ) Do you mind sharing the video link on brewing with the Bialetti? I want to love mine, but do far it has only tormented me!
I’ve got 20 years on you, and can affirm the exquisiteness of the nap in the sunshine, whenever you can get one. There’s very little better. Happy birthday! 🥳

Happy belated Birthday, Molly. Beautiful post. Thank you for always sharing. I'd been wondering if you were still journaling and I'm glad to read you are:) Keeps my inspiration going. I definitely agree on the soup front. It's out of this world. Glad to know you are feeling better.
oh and happy birthday!!
Molly! I made Roberto, the soup, last week and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing!
You have such lovely friends. Sigh.
45 sounds excellent. Here’s to another 45 💙
