Birthday
It has officially been my birthday now for two hours and thirty eight minutes. I didn't do a whole lot for Labor Day weekend, mostly just play Xbox.
Monday I went to Springfield with the family to get groceries. Stopped by Nathanael Greene / Close Memorial Park, which has been the normal lately when I go to Springfield. Ate lunch at Colton's because for my birthday they sent me a coupon to get a free appetizer. We had the honey boneless bbq wings. The waiter knew it was my birthday from the coupon and asked me how old I was. I honestly couldn't remember I was like 32? No 33. Don't really care, doesn't really matter. So we had the appetizer and then I had chicken tenders with a side of fries. I'm sitting there completely stuffed and our waiter comes back with a crowd of staff and makes a big birthday announcement and brings a ice cream sundae in a glass mug. All I can think of is how the heck am I going to eat this!? I'm stuffed, I don't want to be rude and not touch it and it's in a glass mug and it's ice cream so it would melt so getting it to go is out. Thankfully it was mostly whip cream and I shared it with the family.
I don't think places should make big announcements and stuff without asking your permission. Waiter tells me happy birthday and gives me a free sundae awesome! That is enough! Parading through the restaurant with the rest of the staff ringing a cowbell and announcing to the whole restaurant it's my birthday I could live without. It was a mild annoyance to me, it doesn't embarrass me. All I could think of is how the heck am I going to find room to eat this sundae! So many people have anxiety and panic attacks, putting them on the spot like that could really put them in a bad place. He announced I was 23 instead of 33 though, wish I was still that young! Now that I think about it, it kind of agitates me a little.
Ms. Kitty disappeared all day Sunday and she came back today looking a lot skinnier. So it's a pretty safe bet to assume she had her kittens. I'm sure under the shed where she has had them before, it will be a while before we see them. I just hope these are easier to catch than the last ones! Maybe, since I've got Ms. Kitty a little more gentle now and I can at least pet her a little on occasion now.
A lot of rain this weekend which was good, we really needed it! I always love storms, listening to the rain and thunder.
Family is wanting me to do something with them tomorrow. I would be content to barricade myself in my room spending the day watching tv or playing Xbox. I really didn't want to go to Springfield todayand if I hadn't needed a few things at the grocery store I wouldn't have. Going to Springfield with the family is like Ground Hogs day over and over.
Still not a single call from the wedding show, I'm really disappointed. Giving up on that dream! I'm one of the top photographers in the world and where has it got me? No where! I'm not saying I'm going to give up photography, just it's never going to amount to anything more than a hobby. Worst thing is I spent a ton of money on this wedding show and a ton more on the next one because people acted like they were so interested. It was a lot of money I just didn't really have to spare right now.
Yikes, thunder just shook the whole house! Lasted about 45 seconds! I thought the storm had passed, guess we're getting some more.
I could ramble on some more, but I think I'm going to call it a night. It's already really late and if I go somewhere with the family tomorrow I won't be getting much sleep. I don't sleep much as it is anymore, lucky if I get six hours a night it seems.
I always have a hard time falling asleep and lately a hard time waking up. I used to be one of those people who once they are awake they are awake and they can go the second their eyes open. Now waking up takes effort and I drag in the mornings, getting older sucks. But I thought old people were supposed to be morning people up at the crack of dawn?
