My Birthday
.
It was a kind of rough day yesterday. I had to go to work because I had a PD meeting to run. The kids were sweet. They made me cards and posters and gave me many, many hugs. Still, I was in a lot of pain and kind of loopy from the Flexeril. Ariel also got me a cake and put balloons in my room. She also got me a cool pirate purse with one of her boutique corn bags in it, wrapped in pirate fabric, of course.
We played scattergories all day in class. I didn't have the capacity to do much of anything else. And the PD meeting went well. Then, I drove myself home. I took another Flexeril right after school, so I was conking out as soon as I got home. I managed to do a little bit of work, and then I spoke briefly to TAF, and then I fell asleep on the couch.
I was very much out when Axo walked through the door bearing gifts. I got 2 Keane CDs. And I got a LONG overdue Auburn Lull CD... a follow-up to the one album I've had of theirs for a few years. And then I also got a mix CD that Axo made me. He found never-before heard tracks for me... like Damien Rice covering "Creep." And a Sigur Ros song sung in English. And he made a comic strip-like page to go with the CD. It was very sweet. I haven't listened to it yet, but the day's just started. I'm finishing up one of the Keane CDs now, and then I'll make my way through the rest of them.
Did I mention that Axo also bought me things from the Snow Leopard Trust? I got a little stuffed snow leopard, some X-mas tree ornaments made out of gnarly wool in the shape of yaks & rams, and a thangka.
Axo also took me out to dinner at Divina Cucina.
I guess the day was pretty good, it's just that I was unable to enjoy it with clarity because of the drugs.
And today? -- I'm home again... and loopy. I can't drive anywhere, I'm in a brain fog, and there's no water in our apartment. It's a little frustrating. But at least I've got good tunes.
I hope I feel better tomorrow. Like BETTER better. This is getting old.
