It’s My BIRTHDAY

Posted on 04/21/202103/13/2026 by Mark Lieberman

On Friday, I will celebrate my 44th birthday! I have no big plans, but I am taking tomorrow and Friday off from work.

I always eat a lot of bad stuff during my birthday and this one started tonight with Domino’s Pizza! Tomorrow or Friday, my food consumption will primarily come from a Chinese restaurant; Niko and I will have to drive to get it, but it’s totally worth it. Lots of noodles, fried rice, and fried dumplings for me and I have been looking forward to it for several weeks as I haven’t had pasta or rice since March 25th. But, no worries here as once I finish my Chinese food, I will go back to no pasta and no rice. I actually don’t miss it even though I see it in the fridge or pantry and it smiles at me; I just ignore it and grab some meat and veggies.

Nina is planning on baking me a chocolate cake tomorrow and then on Friday, she will do the frosting!

Then, the following weekend is Niko’s 5th birthday and I am off on that Friday and Monday. Niko’s them is Mario from Super Mario Bros and I know he has quite a few Mario gifts stashed in our house!

I like time off even though when I am off, Nina works more. That just means, I get a lot of extra time with Niko.
