There is Freezing rain outside today. I have decided not to go out. I got a few birthday messages, still have not gotten one from my therapist. I am sure she is just busy with her little one and will when she gets a chance.
For privacy reasons, I do not display my birthday like other folks do. I sometimes find it annoying to get birthday messages from people that I hardly talk to any other time of the year. Sometimes a day or two before I will display it. Not this year. I really don’t feel like dealing with messages as today is depressing me enough. My father called me around eleven and sung me an offtune Happy birthday. He didn’t sing it right but the sentiment was there. I asked him if I was going to see him tonight (see night blog when it is posted).
I have decided that I am going to write three blogs today. I have been really bored since my writing stopped so might as well do something special for my birthday. I wrote my first blog when I first woke up at 1 am (0100, morning blog). The middle one is now and then the night time will be later after my birthday party, which I hope goes well and doesn’t last too long.
Rain is causing my back to hurt so I guess it is good that I didn’t go out today. My writing friend got back to me and looks like I will have to make indents to my book. I wrote the book like I do my blogs without indentations. OOPS. Now that should take me a couple of hours at least. I won’t do it today. Maybe tomorrow while I know I will have the house to myself and I can order Thai food. That is my Christmas and birthday present to me. It will be the only time I will be able to order food as my finances are going to be low this month. I messed up my checking account and because I am short, I am also short this month. Now I have to decide which to pay, cable or cell phone bill. It sucks living on disability. I wish I could be able to work but if I did, I doubt I would have time to write.
I am excited that I have another book to do. This one is going to take some crafting as it is going to be from our memories from a year ago. It will be based on blogs, journal entries, emails, and memories of our events as we saw them. It is going to be an intense book. My writer friend and I are going to be sifting through this during the new year and write monthly about it. I hope that it is more than a few paragraphs!
And I have a confession to make: I have been avoiding the dentist like a plague all year long. I have to see them because my teeth are starting to hurt and I think I have a loose filling in one of them. I saw the number on my phone today (I looked up to see if the number was still in my contacts) but that was as far as I went. I am just a chicken when it comes to the dentist. I hate the scraping and I know after almost three years of not going regularly, there is going to be some scraping! Plus I don’t brush my teeth on a regular basis so that doesn’t help either. I am surprised my teeth haven’t fallen out yet. But I will call the day after Christmas. Maybe they will have an opening next week or something. I had a good dentist but he was in NH, a long ride for me without a car. I thought I would be able to keep them as I would have the research job and therefore have a car no matter what. Well that turned out to be false. I really miss my research job. I miss the independency of working alone to get a job done.
Well that is all for now.
