"Survived the holidays"

Something really crazy happened regarding my sleep.  You know how little sleep I've had since 1975.  Well, 3 nights ago, I slept about 13 hours, then the next night I slept about 13 hours.  I was completely shocked because each time I awoke around 4 p.m.  Unfortunately I awoke with a severe headache both mornings which is most likely the sinus infection; so I had to take some heavy duty headache meds.

 That's too late to leave the house on the bus because it would mean I wouldn't get home until after dark.

So, since I've been stuck home since 12/31; I made a point not to take any sleep meds last night, which insured that I would be up all night, but that it would allow me to leave the house at dawn which is actually somewhat refreshing.  I've gotten a lot done and also bumped into 2 acquaintances I hadn't seen in ages which was fun.

But now I'm exhausted!

I'm so relieved the holidays are over I have not enjoyed hearing about "everybody's joyful vacations"

"Birthday's and new years day"

Nothing changes on birthdays or new years day.  So, the best bet is for me to keep expectations very low.  Lots went wrong this birthday weekend.  If I told u the details you'd think I was asking 4 pity.

So, all I will share for now is about today.  Despite the fact that I left at 11 a.m.  the bus did not get me to the adult center in time.  I missed lunch and I missed having everyone sing happy birthday 2 me. I had not eaten in 24 hours because the twelve dollars I put aside for the rest of the month, got gobbled up by some weird fees at my bank.  I have to go in person to resolve that tomorrow.

So, I wasted 2 hours on buses and never got to eat; however, a stranger on the bus gave me five dollars for my birthday so I got a good slice of pizza and a coke.

Beginning of July I will have one official b-day celebration my friend and I will go to a dinner theatre!  I have never been to one before.

Today I am wearing the prettiest shirt I own and asking people:  "Can you tell what's different today?!"

Then I tell them I'm 50 and they don't believe me.
