Got up early. Let the cat out. Worked. Started getting ready for class. Got a call from the SO. Caused another accident. SO vs. tow truck she cut off. Tow truck hit her from behind and spun her across the highway. Don’t worry, she’s fine. She does this all the time. Her latest car is only a year old and already looks like it’s been through a demolition derby. It’s never her fault. She’s got like, two court cases coming up I know of, and I suspect more she won’t admit to. They’re all “hit and runs” and “it’s not my fault.” At some point, I’ll have to do something, but what? Of course she forgot my birthday again and is off doing something else. Not that I mind, I really don’t. I just hate it when she demands a party for her birthday and says, “sorry I forgot yours.”
I just ate a bowl of canned Mac & Cheese. Don’t judge! It’s treat food. I should have put a candle in it.
Now I’m hanging out on the Dope and will treat myself to catching up on some old TV. Got my schoolwork done, after all.
Man, I haven’t smoked pot since '83, but I wish I had a neighbor who could hook me up.
Thanks guys. It’s not that I want to do something on my birthday, but it’d be nice if someone at least said “happy birthday.”
The SO just got home and immediately started complaining about how I closed the front door and must have locked it because her wrists hurt so much and it was such a struggle to open the door because her wrists hurt so much. Blah, blah, blah. I won’t bore you with all her other complaints. Not a word about my birthday.
Her birthday is in November, so starting sometime next month, she’ll start mentioning it weekly, and as it grows closer, she’ll start mentioning it daily. When the day comes, I’ll say “happy birthday, wanna go out to dinner?” And she’ll say “I guess.” Then say how disappointed she is I didn’t do more.
lev, we care. we could start a “can you top this rotten thing that happened on my birthday” thread & try to outdo each other, but we dopers do care about you. When you wake up tomorrow morning, let us know how you are.
First thing, download and listen to the ‘Today it’s your birthday’ song by the Beatles. Second thing, change your life; it sounds like you’re describing my life last year. She dumped me after 25 years and I’m so much better off. If she doesn’t remember your B-Day and demands that you remember hers,** later**.
