30th
yesterday was my 28th birthday, and it was pretty fabulous overall. french toast for breakfast, sushi for lunch and a surprise birthday dinner and drinks last night with friends & coworkers. a dozen red roses and the biggest surprise ever, a new piano! now i need to somehow remember all the things i’d forgotten. i bought ‘piano for dummies’ to try and get used to playing exercises and melodies again. chords completely escape me.
i have a feeling today is going to be significantly less awesome than yesterday. lots going on at work, some great, some not so much. lots of to-dos. i’ve been grinding my teeth at night (i think—my jaw hurts when i wake up in the morning)—i’m sure it’s a stress thing. i need new glasses and i need a trip to the dentist. i need to start doing spark people again or i’m going to gain a ton of weight. i wish i didn’t have to take those measures to keep things in check.
anyways, super mixed feelings overall, feeling really overwhelmed and odd. i need a quiet weekend to chill. friday night is party time, but the rest of the weekend i want to be as lowkey as possible. if it’s sunny i want to drive an hour or two away and just take time to do nothing. i want to take pictures. i want to read in the sun, play music, paint and run. and i don’t want to have to talk or type.
