Birthday Gift

My birthday last Thursday was pretty quiet. What made it different I guess would be me being in California and getting carded buying the lottery at a gas station and at the casino. It’s kind of neat not looking your actual age. At least in the US of A where I’m dwarfed by absolutely everyone lengthwise and crosswise. It was my first time to actually play the slots. You see, I’d really rather shop with the money. I’m an instant winner that way. Haha. I played a couple of hours and was winning. I should have stopped there and then. Greed took over so I started losing. Hmph! Shopping? Slot Machines? Shopping? Slot Machines? Hands down it still is s-h-o-p-p-i-n-g.

I got an uber yummy cake from CF and flowers from my best friend. That’s about it. If I didn’t turn my life upside down again I would be toting A BAG by now. That has to be put off for now. Moving is a b-i-t-c-h emotionally, physically, mentally and financially.


So this is what making grown up decisions is like. Harharhar. Deciding to take the job offer in San Francisco was crazy tough. Deciding to give it up and switch directions just like that was even more crazy-tough. But I knew it was the decision I had to make for myself. It felt like I was putting myself at stake so I had to get things under control. Opportunities like that don’t come a dime a dozen so you can imagine the raised brows that I got. At the end of day, it still is my decision whether right or wrong and I will stick by it. Believe me when I say that I will make it right if it were the wrong decision. It’s going to be crazy but I’ll get by. I know I will. I’m going to miss having power/control over zillions of units of inventory. That rush was better than any other high I felt. I don’t think I ever did talk about what I exactly did for Old Navy. I will one of these days. I’m running out of battery right this minute and I of course checked in my charger. Great. Our flight’s been delayed thrice here in Detroit because of Mr. John Hurricane. This airport is jinxed. Every single time I’ve had a layover here, some sh*t happens. Fabulous.

Anyway, I was so afraid I’d miss it. So it’ll be my birthday gift this year. Experiencing my favorite season – Fall!!!
