This birthday week has been a whirlwind of emotions and activities. I was so excited to have February 14th off, a rare treat that got me feeling all kinds of giddy. Birthdays have been a bit of a sore spot for me in the past, filled with stress and a sense of inadequacy. I know it's just a day, but for some reason, I always get nervous and particularly down around my birthday. It's like all these ghostly feelings come back to haunt me, and I hate that!
There were so many things on my plate: visiting Cynthia and Ronald for Lunar New Year, meeting up with Janice and Dorothy, seeing my Chinese practitioner Ms. Ding, getting a facial... it was a lot, especially since I had to drive back and forth on Friday and Saturday. Note to self: next time, take a day off in between to avoid the exhaustion from all that driving.
My love surprised me with flowers and indulged in the chocolate cake I picked out, which made me so happy. And then there was the unexpected short day trip to Niagara Falls, US. We've been spending so much time in transportation lately, it's almost comical. I really hope we can relocate soon. Thank you for the offer from Peel; I hope to secure a job soon and provide my parents with more options for their retirement. I'll keep praying for it all to work out.
Here's to hoping for smoother travels, fewer ghostly feelings, and more peaceful birthdays in the future.
