It's wine time 😎
I stopped by a gas station earlier today and the cashier guy I know asked, "How's it going? Got any plans? Gonna play any videogames or watch anything cool?" I totally fumbled my response with, "Uhhhh. The weather is bad so I'm not really doing anything." Which makes no fuckin sense because I have been watching shows and playing games. I'm inattentive type ADD so some forgetfulness is expected, but WOW is it a moment when I can't even perceive what I've been doing just minutes before. I recognized what happened then, and sorta rushed out of the store and said bye before he could say too much in response.
Also my birthday is next week and I have zero plans for the occasion. I spent my last birthday in a mental health facility and didn't even get cake, so I might just buy a cake for myself and call it good enough. Maybe my brother will send me a present or something, but I don't have anyone to celebrate with IRL anyways. So in an apathetic way I've resigned the idea of having a birthday anymore.
Happy birthday! Buy yourself the cake! There is something really therapeutic about celebrating, even if it’s by yourself. My birthday was last week, and I wasn’t able to get people together to celebrate with me. Instead I dressed up and visited a local garden that was on my wish list. It was delightful to take a whole day to treat myself, so I highly recommend doing something for you on your birthday. Last year sounded super trying for you so I hope you treat yourself this year’
Happy birthday!
Props for talking to cashiers.
