Hi Guys... Monday was my 51st birthday and I tell ya it was kinda bittersweet.
Firstly, it sucks when you have to work on your birthday and yeah I had to this year, but at least with it being a holiday it was double pay so it was worth it and I kept telling myself it was present from work. I got calls from friends and family that remembered, even a few messages on twitter and such, and they all made me very happy.
I don't expect everyone I know to remember my birthday, I sure as heck can't remember everyone's either, so I understand. I just tried to make it a tolerable day and got through it.
This year I was a bit pre-occupied with the hurricane and worried about what it was going to do. I prepared as best as I could but you always wonder if you did enough. It's nice to be able to prep for the worst, but financially it can be tedious and I tell you, it's really rough lately. Running all over for gas and food and fighting long lines and insane people.. it's really taxing. And living in a manufactured home makes it even worse because these things don't really hold up as well as a cinder block home. It just adds to the stress and worry. As of the latest news reports, the hurricane is a lot weaker and moving north, but very slowly. We're getting some rain bursts and wind but i've really been through a lot worse in my life. I can tell you for certain that the storms are getting MUCH larger and more powerful than they were when I was growing up in NY. The Bahamas really took an incredible pounding with a cat 5 hurricane stalled over then for nearly 48 hours. The next few days are going to be filled with news reports of devastation and tragedy i'm sure, I really wish them the best down there.
The season is far from over though so gotta stay prepared and keep an eye out for things.
Otherwise things are about the same, it's always hard on my birthday without my parents around and emotionally it hurts too. It's just part of life though and I have to deal. I still wish I had someone special in my life to share good times with, but friends help and it really could be a lot worse.
Thanks guys!
