Well I made it. Made it to 37 years old. Life has been nothing of what I thought it might be but it's not all that bad. I have a roof over my head, food to eat, family and friends who love me, and a full time job. I wish I had money to travel a bit more, didnt have to deal with depression and swallow pills everyday, and could lose all this weight I've put on, but I'm working on those things.
I was able to forget my stressors for a few days and celebrated for four days in a row!!
Day 1: The parents drove up and we visited a new shopping center and I found some treats. Went to the casino and enjoyed four miniature desserts at the buffet. I sat down with my dad and gave him $1 bill to play in a quarter slot machine and he won $112!
Day 2: The mister had the day off work and we did all our favorite things...went to the used book/music store, saw a movie, shopped and dined at Lou Malnati's aka Best Pizza in the Nation.
Day 3: After work, dined on chicken pot pie in Wicker Park.
Day 4: After work, sampled assorted beers and ate The Big Cheezy burger at my favorite Lincoln Square joint. And ten minutes into our meal, a couple was seated next to us and it was my old coworker friend whom I hadn't seen in six years! Lovely dinner together.
And voilá! On a bien fêté!
I sometimes wish life could be more exciting or something. But c'est la vie. I can't always take five months off from life and wander around Paris. But I am so glad i did just that when I could, so that on those 'boring' days i have memories to last toujours...
