31 birthday was kind of a bust. But I also don't care.
I have to laugh....everyone at work thought is was my 30th birthday, and they got me a 30th birthday balloon and card!
The day was long; I worked for eleven hours. Co-workers bought me a hilarious card, office manager gave me a fifth of honey whisky, which is awesome. And there was a vegan cheesecake from Chicago Diner, which no one else ate, so I had this whole freakin' thing to eat myself.
After work I had school until 10pm. After school I decided to go to the Ballroom. No one met up with me; but the place was packed! There were two other people who's birthday was also two sixteen.
Justin was behind the bar, which was awesome! I shared some of the cheesecake with him. I had great conversation with the guy sitting next to me. His name is Brandon. He's an electrician and owns his own house in the city. In hindsight, I probably should have gotten his number. But I don't really want to deal with a boyfriend right now (or ever?). Also, I would prefer some one who doesn't smoke, drink excessively, and is veg. I know he does not fit those criteria. He was way cute, though. I'm sure I'll run into him again up there.
Birthday shot was Fireball Whisky with Apple Pucker. Smooth and delicious!
I was pretty exhausted and depressed on Friday, and I ended up not going up to Chicago. I was pretty exhausted and depressed on Saturday, and still did not make it up to Chicago. I was pretty exhausted and depressed on Sunday, but did manage to make it out of the house. Matthew contacted me at last, and I went over to his house. It was actually nice to hang out sober.
Matthew has been MIA, and I have left him alone because a)I don't want to smother him, and b)I know he is dealing with a lot right now.
He thanked me for being understanding. He lost his beloved job on Sunday, is getting slapped with an ankle bracelet this coming Thursday, and will be moving to his parents' house for three months at the end of this week. There's no hard feelings. I know that he is pretty bummed about the whole situation, but he has also accepted responsibility for his actions leading to these circumstances, as well as accepting that he needs to make some changes. Overall, he seems pretty optimistic about the situation.
I'm taking a study break to type this; will now return to hitting the books. Test isn't for three more days; call me Ms. Time Management!
