I don't even know when it happened but I'm that age now

It's my birthday today and I spent the day talking to the family and celebrating. I managed to go out both yesterday and today despite hanging on the edge of the cold by my fingertips for the last three days. My throat is sore but I only have almost running nose (my sinuses are hurting but not producing much mucus - yet) and almost cough (I feel like it but never actually do it). This means I feel sick and want to just stay in bed and sleep all day long but I don't look sick so people are easily fooled into thinking I'm fine and agreed to hang out with me. It is a weird state. I almost feel like a Schrödinger's cat neither and both at the same time.

I slept through my actual birth time. It was 1:30 p.m. back when I was born. Of course, back then, it was winter time and now it's summer time so now the actual anniversary is at 2:30 p.m. In Poland. Here it was 8:30 a.m. and I was still asleep. I didn't sleep through the whole day because I turned the computer on and I kept getting skyped by family when I learned that my nephew swallowed a battery and is in hospital since Thursday and my cousin has a new cat (Maincoon) for two weeks and my uncles new house is almost ready and they just got the internet connected. I started to feel so out of touch. I was so busy lately I'm only in the right timeframe to talk with Poland during weekends. It almost makes me want to reconsider my decision to stay.

I just started the paperwork for the visa extension. I want to finish the projects I'm working on - especially the human one. I also just started to get used to the place and connect with people here and to have a group big enough to go out an celebrate a birthday with. So I'm going to stay put for now. I suppose the asthma will make me leave eventually anyway.

I had really nice time this evening and I thought what would make the perfect ending for this day and I noticed there is a new Muppet movie trailer. It has NPH doing Mana Mana and Gonzo torturing Jack Black and I'm going to share it with you now:
