My Birthday...
I spent the entire day avoiding anything that even vaguely resembled work. Pampered myself. Didn't do the hair treatment that I planned, but I did wash my hair. Gave myself a nice oatmeal and brown sugar body scrub, then used a double amount of body conditioner. My skin is baby-soft now. Had a quiet day. Just watched TV and vegetated. That was more than enough. It has been far too long since I have been able to do that.
No one called me. The only people that remembered my birthday seem to be mirai_may (my kitty! <3), my favorite aunt and my cousin's wife Diana, who then reminded my cousin. No call from my brother, but then he tends to forget even our mom's birthday so I wasn't really expecting a call. ~_~; A friend of my ours (mom's and mine) came by and sang me happy birthday. None of my friends even sent an email or e-card. I was rather sad.
But! The day did get better. I got no birthday cake, but mom let me order from Domino's Pizza. I got a large, Brooklyn style pizza with bacon (heart attack in a box, yay!), with side orders of chicken wings and cinnastix (more yay!). I stuffed myself silly to make up for the lack of cake. I guess it evens out somehow.
Oh! I did get $110 from my mom for a present. Bought a used computer armoire for myself with $70 + $15 that I gave to a friend for helping me go get it (which means I've still got $25 in pocket). The armoire (Ikea's Alve corner workstation) is in pretty good shape and considering it originally costs $369 (plus tax and shipping), I think I got a pretty good deal even if it is used. Fits all my computer stuff plus my 13 inch game TV, Playstation and games, AND my stereo, with room to spare for my toys. ^_^;;; I can close the door on it all and my room won't look crowded with stuff. I'm happy with it.
Now if only I didn't have to get back to work on sorting through 26 years worth of stuff tomorrow. I'm glad we started now, because if we'd tried to do this during the time we have to move, it would have been a nightmare. Still, I don't appreciate the sheer amount of work we've had to do. I appreciate even less the cuts and bruises I've somehow managed to get in the process. T_T;
Off to sleep. Goodnight!!!
