Today is my best beloved’s birthday.
He is something of a minimalist in aesthetic so doesn’t like to receive gifts. For years, my practice has been to give him subtractive presents. This has been things like gift certificates to remove the item of his choice from a room, or a day without internet. Sometimes, it involves repairing an item which he is fond of so that it doesn’t need to be replaced.
This year, I am editing the apartment to remove some clutter.
We might go see a movie later. We might stay in. Either way, I will bake a peach cobbler.
Happy birthday, Robert. We are still thrilled that your submarine ran out of petrol at our house.
God bless and keep you now and ever more!
Happy birthday, Rob! I hope you had a wonderful day. xox
