I made it to 27

I gave my boss the picture. I chose quote #3 since that was the overwhelming favorite. I thought she was gonna cry ^^;; I took a picture of it that I'll post later.

Well I survived to see my 27th birthday. Never would I have thought that might have been in question but then again I never thought I would have a life threatening illness.

It was a day like any other with a couple birthday wishes thrown in. That truely was the extent of it. I did go to my work christmas party and it was there that I got sung Happy Birthday to. No candles to blow out, no presents to open. I remember when birthdays were something you looked forward to as a kid. Now its just another day, you're just officially one year older.

I thought this year I would do that big party. Get everyone together and actually celebrate. That was before I was crushed beneath the weight of physical illness and financial burden. That only means I am that much more determined to throw one hell of a party next year.

Bah, this should be a happy post. Birthdays are supposed to be happy. And I am happy...just very very bored with my life right now. And I did get a present...well it isn't here yet but my father ordered me a Zune MP3 player with a car adaptor.

OH! And I did get flowers! Thank you Sonnet! That was an unexpected and pleasant surprise when the UPS guy arrived today. I was expecting the player or the bulb for the TV (ours blew two days ago and my father ordered a new one). The last thing I expected was flowers. They are pretty and sitting in a vase on the table.

In non-b-day news, I got my new appeal date. Its at the end of January. I am still not optimistic that I will succeed in getting Medicaid but I keep trying.

Ah well...thats it from me I guess.

Gah, I missed it! But happy belated birthday to ya anyway. I spent most of yesterday in a jet-lagged stupor and ended up going to bed at eight o clock. Alas. But I did send off your gifts, so hopefully they'll get there before Christmas. Sorry to hear that it wasn't really an amazing day for ya...guess that does tend to happen as one gets older, but I'm always happy when people at least remember it's my birthday. Hope you can have your big party next year!
