You know you’re getting older when you actually keep forgetting that your birthday is coming up. I was reminded this morning when I came into work and there was a little banner on my cubicle and some cookies waiting for me. The girls brought in some food for lunch and signed a card for me too. I’m working tomorrow, which is my actual birthday, but only a half day, which is why they chose today to recognize it.
I was also reminded today that this will be the last year I’ll be in my twenties. Ugh, I really don’t want to think about it. I’m not so much concerned about turning thirty next year other than the fact that it means I’m inching closer and closer to DEATH.
So anyway, we had a nice relaxing evening at home tonight after picking up some yummy chinese food. We got orange chicken, dumplings, chicken fried rice, and curry chicken. The latter wasn’t spicy like they promised, though. I opened my presents from Joe which, as predicted right before I tore them open, was the first season of Newlyweds on DVD and Bomberman Jetters for the Gamecube. It’s not hard to please me.
Tomorrow we have the kids like a regular weekend. It’s weird treating my birthday like any other day because I usually do something special for it. I’m only working a half day so I can go to the hospital… I’ve been having what feels like an irregular heartbeat so they are going to hook me up to a heart monitor for 24 hours to see if they find anything. Cross your fingers they don’t.
