I now have my computer desk and chair put together and in use! It was hard, but I finally did it. With the end tables I got from Grandmother's, its starting to look like a real place now. I don't know how to explain what all this has to do with independence and taking care of myself, I guess just that its finally looking like a grownup place. I've never really had that before. I don't think I could ever express this to people IRL. I don't want anyone to know how screwed up I really am, even if I'm making progress.
BTW, its my birthday today. Everyone at work forgot at first. But when they finally remembered, they all pinned money to my shirt. Guilt makes for good money! Ha, ha!
Strange my Mom didn't call. She usually does. I'm okay though. Birthdays have never really been a big deal to me. Me and my co-workers are supposed to get together to celebrate later when everyone isn't sick (the flu has been going around).
Also, when my cousins who helped us move found out it was my b-day, they insisted I come to a cook out they had planned on Saturday and they would make it my b-day party. These people are so white trash and crazy, but I love it. I guess because there never seems to be any judgement passed on anyone with them. Everyone is just accepted as they are. When I say white trash, I don't mean that negatively, that's just the only way I can think to describe them.
Today at work I told everyone I was going to start saying I'm 26 since no one ever seems to believe I'm my age - 36. Yes I'm bragging. I think I'm entitled to brag a little on my b-day. Cute boy said before you know it, he'll be older than me. He was really sweet today. When I said something about being old he said, that's not old, it just means you have more experience. I was like, "Hey baby, I'll show you all the experience you want!" Of course, that was only in my head. I had to bite my tongue though.
