VIII: The Deranged Writer’s 33rd Birthday (So Far)

Hello. Here’s what happened today, my birthday, so far.

Today I woke up at 10am; I planned on waking up earlier than that, but that’s all right. It’s my birthday.

Anyway, my Mother made some soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. My heart is happy because soft-boiled eggs have been one of my favorite dishes since I was little. After breakfast, I checked my socials (notably Facebook and Messenger) and read some of the birthday messages. I don’t want to reply to them yet, but I will later tonight or tomorrow.

Notes to Self X

Today, the day before my 33rd birthday, I’m starting to feel more excited. Gone are the days when I got worried about party venues and ruined plans because now everything is all set. I’m looking forward to having a simple Italian dinner party with my family and a few of my closest friends.

Other than my excitement for my birthday party, what happened today? I started working on a few November billings and then capped off the day with a viewing of Doctor Strange with my Father. While we were watching, I was reminded of a quote from The Ancient One (played by Tilda Swinton) bout having inner demons.

This is my 10th Notes to Self.

Spoiler warning if you have not seen Doctor Strange.

10-Minute Warning LXXXVIII

It’s less than a week away before my birthday, and I lost one of my 2 final venue choices because I waited for too long. My bad. I will drop by the other venue tomorrow so I can check the area and have a reservation in person. If I can’t get the reservation though, there’s Jollibee… kidding! Or am I?

And then there’s the payment. This will be the 1st time I will treat less than 20 of my loved ones to a birthday dinner while I’m employed, and I’m nervous and excited about that. I hope I don’t go over the budget, but I should be prepared for it. Wish me luck!

Less than a week before my birthday… I may be depressed, but yey.
