Sketches of a Bipolar Girl: You Say It's Your Birthday!

 


Well, the big day has finally arrived!!! In exactly 8 1/2 hours, I will be 56 years old.  My goodness, where has the time gone!!??  I never thought I would make it this far, yet here I am.  

Its been quite a year.  I lost Aunt Berta, and my Dad this past year.  I was devastated, but not to the point of falling apart.  That in itself is an accomplishment.  I've had 3 lovers, all gone.  Maybe this is the year for Mr. Right.  Who knows?  Great things could be just around the corner.  

What would I like for my birthday?  I would like my body to stop hurting.  Pain, is why I woke up at 2:27 am today.  I would like it to go away.  I know it doesn't help much, but I popped 800 mg of ibuprofen just in case it does work.  Its pretty much all psychological at this point.  

I also, took this  nighttime opportunity to work on my resume some more, down load some apps for my medical provider and I'll probably do my nails.  I'm really wide awake now.  I went by the dining room on my way out to smoke (yes, I started again).  There are presents for me on the table.  I wasn't sure they would do that for me.  I think they will get the balloons, flowers and cake sometime today.  

We are having a tiny party for me tonight.  I think I want chicken enchiladas for dinner.  I want the whole Mexican dinner with black beans, corn and rice.  It's not diabetic friendly, but I don't care.  At any rate, that's what I want.  I also would like eggplant parmesan or General Tsao's chicken.  But, I guess I can get that this weekend.  

I'm finally getting my car window fixed on Thursday.  A friend of Kevin's was supposed to do it for me, but I got jerked around , so I'm just taking it to the dealership.  It'll cost $200 more, but I don't care anymore.  I'm tired of my window being broken.  It's the driver side window, and it's stuck down.  

Erica is finally starting to come out of her funk a little.  Once she settles down a little more, and sells her stock options, she'll be a lot better.  Then she wants to get a dog.  I found a puppy that looks like Zuna on the Furkids website.  It's a little male named Leo.  Of course, his name will be changed.  She wants to name Marvel Arlo Eugene, but I'm all about keeping it in the Z-pack family.  Right now, we have the three cats, Zuko, Zaybra and Zelda.  I'll have to come up with a couple of names that start with Z.  

I'm back on the dating site on Facebook.  My profile is pretty darn good.  I've gotten pretty good responses.  Some of them are toads though.  But, I'll keep looking. He's got to be out there somewhere.  If not, I guess I'll just try to get a really good job, move out and get a Chow Chow.  Me, Zelda and Henry.  Ok, so maybe not Henry. 

Well, I guess that's it for now.  I was starting to feel a little blue about this birthday without my parents. But, they're right here, watching over me.  Dad would send a card with his succinct "love Dad" scribbled on it, and mom's card would be something like "To my Wonderful Daughter"  I would read them both and sigh and think what a lucky person I am.  But, I guess I can still think that.  I am a lucky person to have had parents that loved me so much.  Even when it wasn't my birthday.  

Happy Birthday, girlie!!!
