Happy Birthday To ME!

Well another birthday is here and I’m thrilled to say I’m no longer 25. 25 sucked in the WORST way. Though I grew a lot as a person this year it’s been tough slogging.

Today I went for breakfast with Matthew and his Fiancé which was nice as I had not been able to visit with Fiancé during their very short trip. I was able to spend a good portion of yesterday with Matthew though and it was very enjoyable to chat and get caught up on many things.

After breakfast I stopped at Starbucks to see Sister and she made me a coffee with a caramel 26 on top. It was such a beautiful morning that after leaving Starbucks I called my friend Steve and asked if he’d like to go for a little hike in Kal Park. He said that would work fine so we spent a good couple of hours wandering down to Cousins bay and back.

As Steve lives in the same side of town as The Baron I went over to the house to get a couple jackets I’ll need for work. The Baron had a vicious migraine but we had coffee and visited a little anyway.

Leaving The Baron’s I went to Winfeild and retrieved my jacket and martini glasses from ‘her’ house. I made sure this was a very quick and painless visit by leaving the car running, door open, and stereo pounding which didn’t leave room open for conversation. I hope that someday we can be friends again but it sure isn’t going to happen for a while.

To be very honest I really just feel like getting very drunk right now (where’s a bottle of wine when you need one?) but I’ve got the family plus The Baron coming over for a Birthday dinner tonight. So I won’t be doing anything like that and I know that getting drunk wouldn’t help anyway. Being so much more emotionally aware than I used to be I’m trying to figure out what to do with the emotions I’m feeling and deal with them in a constructive manner but I can’t quite seem to be able to. My counsellor once advised me that sometimes the best course of action is to just explore the emotion. Don’t try and change it just become aware of it and learn from it so that the next time the same emotion won’t hit you so hard. I’m trying…

So Happy Birthday to Me! I already know without a doubt that this year is going to be better than the last.
