happy birthday to me
Had a good day today. Slept in late, woke up to Candy singing the birthday song for me over the phone. Lazed around with Momma, watching Star Trek and talking. I got done up all pretty and went to the Texas State Aquarium. That place is really quite impressive. I saw some beautiful things, but my favorite was the jellyfish. They are the ultimate in relaxed creatures. They're better than lava lamps. Went to dinner with Mom and Dad, Kristen and Jorge. Kristen, for a wonder, made sense through most of the conversation, and Mom, Dad, and Jorge really all took to each other. Plus the chocolate cake was wonderful. We came back to the house, and Jorge and I worked on programming. This last assignment has been a real doosie. I've probably spent 20 hours in the last week working on it. I didn't get it done before midnight, so it will be going in a day late, but I think I can get my prof to forgive me. It certainly isn't like I've been blowing off my assignment.
I've been in a genuinely good mood all day. I don't have the breathless anticipation for the future I was always so charged with around Jack, but neither do I have the stress of dealing with his idiosyncrasies, or his subtle meanness. And not being called an idiot three times a day is quite refreshing. I still want the life I almost had, and I still love the guy he almost was.
I'll be fine and dandy. Boy, it's like a hard candy Christmas. I'm barely getting through tomorrow, but I won't let sorrow bring me way down.
