Yesterday was my 28th birthday. I made it. I didn't join the 27 club! That's an accomplishment because this year was really dicey to say the least. Things really are starting to look up, which is such a relief.I woke up yesterday to my mom singing Happy Birthday. My mom can't sing, but it was sweet. She also gave me a card with a margarita recipe, which was gorgeous. Then I got all my stuff ready for work where we were going to have our Christmas luncheon. I am overgenerous and bought gifts for everyone, not just my secret Santa.
When I got to work, my supervisor gave me a beautiful, warm winter scarf. I was very happy about it because I love scarves. It was very sweet of her to get that for me. Work was a bit busy, but that's OK as it makes the day go by.We got a ton of food from one of our favorite restaurants in the area, so we stuffed ourselves full of Italian food. I got a surprise birthday cake too. As for the gifts, I got a bottle of Jack Daniels from my supervisor and a journal with bubble bath from my secret Santa.
There were a few surprised along the way. The first was that he e-mailed me to wish me a happy birthday, which means he still cares. That made me happy because I wanted a sign that he didn't hate me, so I had a birthday wish come true. I also had the head of HR send me a birthday e-mail, which I found strange as she never e-mails anyone and she never e-mails tellers. So, I said thank you because I didn't know what else to do. My supervisor also got a promotion to assistant manager. It was a brilliant day at work.
I then had my birthday party at my favorite bar because it was trivia night. I had a lovely steak which was free because I'm on their e-mail club. The food was fantastic. We then played trivia where we came in second because one of the rounds was about identifying Simpson's characters. So we won $25 off our tab. It was awesome. I got some great gifts too including a Dalek. So I got my second birthday wish.
It was a great day overall, which made me happy. I didn't think that I could feel that much happiness again. Things are moving forward. Onwards and upwards.
